Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[classic33]

Swim in your pool of covid .... have parties in your petri dish of covid filth .. soon, I hope, your mental health issues will be addressed by the evil government that carried out the biggest physiological attack on it’s own population in history ... but i doubt it ....
The cost of energy, wheat, fuel, rents .... not covid, is the common reality ....
Look around you every day .. in supermarkets, work places, businesses ... at Cadwell Park today, where the only masks to be seen where being used to protect the carburettor intakes on a Vincent sidecar outfit ... with much mirth ..
I will strive to support your right to protect yourself from a common cold ....
But not for much longer ...............
Stop testing for Covid ... test for bowel cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure ....

How do you suggest doing those tests at home, or even in a public place(where everything being done can be seen by anyone there).

Can the three things you say test for, be passed onto another person?

He's just a bit upset at being found out in his previous "mistakes", so going full Tonto.

One that hospitalised you, made you very ill for 3 weeks, and lose a stone in weight.

An Apology.
I have very different views on the subject of Covid from many of my fellow posters on this forum.
My opinions, right or wrong, are based on my lived experience, formed attitude and approach to living.
My life is not your life.
I will refrain from further comment on the subject of Covid.
Cyclechat.net is one of my favourite forums, I intend to carry on enjoying it.

Why, when it hospitalised you, made you very ill for 3 weeks, and lose a stone in weight; do you consider it just a common cold. Do you end up very ill and hospitalised, every time you get a common cold?

It's made some folk very ill, my mate is stillstruggling breathing - caught it 18 months ago and was on oxygen for at least a year. Another mate was a denier, fairly fit, wound up in intensive care (he still wasn't going for vax - scared I think). Another work mate caught it recently and has been off ill since.

Me, I 'may' or may not have caught it in December 2019 (colleagues came back from Woohan) - not had a 'cold' like it. I've not officially caught though, despite lot's of 'contacts' (touch wood).

If you wound up in hospital, you are genetically disposed to being ill from it. So, despite me being either having super anti-bodies, or a super immune system, I don't go round calling it a cold. I'm just getting on with life, back in work, close contact with staff and students etc.

MIL wasn't ill with it, but it triggered other complications and pneumonia that she couldn't shake and died recently. She didn't die of covid, but her weak CV system didn't respond so well.

Never call it a cold, especially if you have any health issues - heart or lung issues, take it seriously.

All three of my house now have it; me on day 6 and slowly getting better, son no. 2 on day 3 and fine, SWMBO tested positive this morning.

She works on a Covid rehab ward alongside patients who've had strokes / have neurology issues so tests every day just in case but it's the first time she's caught it. Lots of her colleagues have caught it in the past week so it's either from us, despite trying to keep her separate, or from one/more of her colleagues.

I have had some symptoms since mid week but not a cough or running nose so whilst the test said negative I'm wondering if it was a false negative or how well the test works if the vaccines are largely cutting out its effects.

@DCLane: out of interest, advice for Asthmatics here is to use our inhaler once every day to boost our immunity. Is that advised in the UK?

Although she's stopped now my wife did this for a long time during Covid.

I've been told to keep using the inhaler daily; I asked if it could cause long term complications but the doctor told me they're unlikely and in any case less troublesome then C-19 could be.

Son in law currently positive.
Daughter in law just tested neg after contracting covid, come into reasonably close contact with both prior to their infection.
Still neither of us, wife and myself, have had covid yet . How many people have still not had it i wonder ?

In our house only the youngest has had it, he was the only one unvaccinated at the time, as he was still too young. Probably a large dose of luck and some help from the vaccine that the rest of us haven't yet caught it.

I'm a twice-a-day steroid inhaler plus reliever as required. It may be the inhalers are different in Germany?
