No I completely understand your anxiety over it, maybe you should speak to a professional regarding that, as it would help you and others around you if you were able to atleast test for it. Or, ofcourse, you could keep purchasing the saliva tests. As I said, I'm not vaccinated right now either, but I had to accept that it's a choice I'm making, and I probably won't be able to do the things I want for a long time. That's on me, not the people on power, they're just trying to protect the masses.

The flu is incredibly different, luckily.

I am sure if it is work related they will not want to test you every single day. Once a week to begin would be the starting point. Let us be honest here Phil. You don't want to be vaccinated. So that rules that one out. Now you are saying that testing would cause you anxiety. That will be a big problem. If you had to do one or the other, I think testing would be for you. Might just have to suck it up and get used to it. There will be no other way around it. All have to do things we hate at times.

How long do you see is quarantining the unvaccinated after holidays in UK? I can’t afford ten extra days off work

Like 2 years or 5-10?

Yes I could take maybe two weeks off and holiday for 5 days

Ok I guess that won’t happen until they give vaccines to poorer countries

Probably not, no. We're looking at a few years to be honest with that.

Much rather we were able to open up here than have international travel, to be honest. The checks are there for what travel there is are there for a reason (quarantine free if you're low risk and go to low risk countries, otherwise quarantine.)

Really do not want to be in yet another lockdown because yet another variant is taken back by people travelling, as we had with delta.

Or you could just get vaccinated like everyone else and save yourself a load of hassle and anxiety.

I hear the UK will use the EU green pass. It looks like taking a test will be only way travel next year do I wait longer or go? It would be quite a worry having to test for the virus and risk having it and mean holiday cancelled?

It is called been safe. Other countries don't want infected people entering their country. They are right too. Negative test and you get in. But there is still the risk of catching the virus on holiday. So I think they should test before you go home too, if you do leave your own country. Keep others flying safe. If you pick it up on holiday, you might be trapped in another country for a long time. So ask yourself is it worth it?

Stay in your house until you're vaccinated. Don't pose a risk to others.

He can still go out. Main issue is he wants to go on holiday. The thing he misses most. As well as throwing a house party and football matches. Everything that involves a lot of other people. He has anxiety about getting tested and anxiety about the vaccine. So keeping all that in mind life will be full of the same things as it has been for the past 16 months. Which is little or nothing.

I realise all that. What I'm getting at is that he needs to bite the bullet and just get vaccinated like the rest of us. Then he can get on with life.

Can't really go out more, you won't be allowed anywhere.

Nah, really though, you can do whatever you wish, but the guidelines are all there for a reason, so you need to accept that you're the one limiting yourself, not the government or others. Keeping others safe is just as important as yourself.

Keeping others safe? You can still spread delta just as much even with a vaccine. The vaccine protects YOU and YOU only so maybe it’s my bloomin business if I have it or not right?
Also my wife had a reaction to her 1st jab she also can’t go anywhere despite it affecting her health! It’s two jabs or no entry. Wales allows testing

No one is bullying or trolling you, and there's no pro vaccine bots, we're all real people, haha. You can do what you want, I said in my comment to you that it's completely up to you if you get it or not, but if not, it does mean it's only you limiting yourself in regards to holiday destinations, etc.

Hopefully the restrictions lighten up soon enough and you'll be a-okay :)
