Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?

[Trinity765]

I've got covid - couldn't find another thread.

I caught it off of my son who tested positive last Thursday and is still testing positive. He doesn't know where he got it. I tested positive yesterday as I was feeling rough. I've had all my vaccines and he has had none. The only difference is that he had a temperature but I don't seem to have.

It's rife. My boss and several of my colleagues have got it and my bother in Cornwall. It's very contagious and it's not nice - it's proper flu. I'm dizzy and nauseous, my throat hurts, I have a rotten headache and my body is creaking. Most people with it have slept a lot. I'm taking paracetamol and ibuprofen alternately.

It would kill my Mum who is very vulnerable - I've been living in the back part of her bungalow, wearing a facemask when I move about, cleaning my hands every time I leave the room and cleaning door knobs and everything I touch with some steriliser. I told the care agency and reinstated the bedtime call and I speak to my Mum through the Blink camera. I keep asking her if she has a headache.

Couldn't have come at a worse time for you,take care of yourself.

I think we'll all be getting a dose eventually.

Then you read this ...

We all got it in Dec. In Jan only my daughter got it. This time me and the Mrs have almost same symptoms (me no cough) and she's + and I'm -

And again and again ...

Yup, nearly 2 years before we first got it. We are now on our 3rd dose in just over 3 months.

Covid can suck my cock and go suck it's mothers pussy as i've been ill as fuck the past few days.

However, my controversially non-vaxed self has seemed to have got over it in 2 days...will see how it pans out though!...

A 31-year-old healthcare worker caught Covid twice within 20 days - the shortest-known gap between infections, Spanish researchers have claimed.

And another 'strange' occurrence: a colleague of Filly's is still testing positive after 20 days.

[Supermofo]

Given my daughter caught it twice within 34 days I doubt that's particularly rare.

Well, I joined the fucking club too. Missus Bwana picked it up from work. This was earlier in the month. She complained about losing her sense of taste (yep, that's why she's with me). I developed a scratchy throat. Shoved the swabs up my snoot and got an instant positive. Called my quack the next morning hoping to get a COVID specific treatment as my lack of spleen has me at increased risk of hospitalization and coffin occupancy. His office called the next day, receptionist advised me to get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids. Oh really? Whodathunkit? Thanks for wasting an entire day dipshit.

It took going to a walk-in clinic to get antiviral meds. I still had to reach out to my cardiologist to come off the statin as it's contraindicated with the antiviral that is supposed to work for Omicrap. By that time I had a river of mucus coming out of my head, a fever, coughing up my nuts, and a massive headache. After two doses of the meds I was feeling much better. No cough, no fever, still a little bit of a runny nose, and no headache. The day after finishing the meds my runny nose and cough returned. I've since found out that is typical for Paxlovid treatment. So there's concern about effectiveness. I probably would have been better off with antibody infusion. Oh well.

Quarantined for almost 2 weeks, tested negative on a Friday, back to work on Monday last week. No fucking stamina at all. That was a looooong day.

Stamina has slowly returned but I've got this very low level vertigo thing going. I barely notice it most of the time, but coming up stairs I seem to go on a diagonal path like I'm being pulled my right.

I know you'll shoot me down, but that could be low blood pressure.

A friend of mine has had to quit his job as a captain (pilot) for BA because his long Covid has caused permanent vertigo.

[Horse]

... And one of our neighbours is suffering it too. Her mother has ear 'noise' (not tinnitus) triggered by sounds such as crinkling cellophane.

Not to say that it isn't low blood pressure as a result of covid.

I had the 'pleasure' of visiting two hospitals yesterday. We only have to wear masks now in medical places, generally hospitals and medical centres (and public transport).

After having been in a hospital in Feb (similar rules then) and seeing sooo many people half wearing masks (even medical employees) it was kinda heartening to see everyone wearing the masks. Only one person half wore one - receptionist at xray at the first hosp. She was behind a screen for me but sat next to a colleague that was wearing one properly!!


I do so hate masks, but in some situations it's just sensible (and here, required) so it was kinda cool to see

BANG!!!



My BP used to run fairly low. Now it tends to be in the normal range.

Yeah, it's a bit amusing to see someone's big snoot sticking out over their mask. My other favorite is when they lower the damn thing to talk. Jesus wept, it'd be better if you kept it under your chin until you spoke.

[Screwdriver]

Anyone else following this chap?



His analysis of the data and current situation is certainly one I find compelling.

[weeksy]

Nopes... Covid doesn't even enter my thoughts these days..

[DefTrap]

It's sort of interesting - the assumption was always that getting covid would give you some sort of immunity, that's not rocket science. The point was that everyone catching it at once would knacker hospitals and that the vulnerable would be unfairly targeted if we all carrier on as normal. Statistically the majority have always been able to fight off covid easily, it's just that the remainder, whilst a small percentage, is still absolutely enormous in numbers. So any country that is congratulating themselves at their early covid policy of 'meh' maybe just paid the cost of deaths earlier in the pandemic.

But yeah, like weeksy says, nobody seems bothered much by covid now in the majority of the West, the 'return to normality' has been rapid.

I attended a First Aid requalification course a few weeks ago. It was in a local football ground training room and as soon I walked in I clocked the masks on the socially-distanced tables. The trainer was at pains to point out that that they were still required as it was a medically-related location. Eh?

I took an executive decision to say I had an exemption. Nothing more was said, apart from the other half dozen people on the course (who were allowed to mix without masks in the communal room during lunch and breaks during breaks - go figure) who told me they wished they'd done the same.

It got a bit silly when we were told that we couldn't practice the position for abdominal thrusts due to Covid so had to stand with an imaginary person in front of us, presumably choking on imaginary food. That, and being told to socially distance, except when we were practicing bandages on each other, which was often...as I said - go figure.
