Coronavirus outbreak

put it on YouTube and they may believe it lol

...especially if it's presented by someone who claims to be a 'professional crystal healer' with a background in 'runes for health', and author of the article 'Water for Wellness' which advocates drinking a litre of lukewarm boiled rainwater daily, and eschewing all use of tapwater for drinking or cooking purposes.
It would be extra-useful if they also had a PhD from a fake university, probably in the US, thus ensuring they are put forward as Doctor Whatisname.

Great. The anti vaxxers won’t believe anything on a government website though.

I thought you were vaccine sceptical, or was it just the booster programme and the government imposing restrictions to help prevent the spread, you disagreed with?

My mate was boosted a week ago & has covid bad now. Without the booster he wouldn't be any worse than he is now in my opinion. England is fully open, Stopping the spread my @r$e!

So you think boosters don't work?

If he only had the booster a week ago, it won't have had much effect. It takes 2-3 weeks to be fully effective. But of course, you have no idea how bad he would have been without it.

So has and is my sister, who was fully vaccinated and boosted. But in the absence of evidence to the contrary, I prefer to believe the likes of Professor Van-Tam and think my sister may well have been hospitalised or even dead, without the vaccination programme in place.

I tested positive for Covid last Wednesday. This is the second time I have had the infection, this time far less bothersome. No temperature. I had a sore throat and chest with cough which lasted 48 hours and feeling run down. As of now, no sore throat, chest is fine, my lymph glands in my neck are tender and still feel weak and run down. Pretty much like a crappy cold, but after the first experience, I was under no illusions how nasty this virus can be. I have had both shots (Pfizer) and my booster, and believe I would have had a much tougher time if I had not had them. I had my PCR test yesterday and wait to find out what variant it is. Pretty sure it's Omicron.

My neighbour is a year older than me, in his mid-fifties, and was fervently anti vaccination. He is on day eleven of his infection and when I rang him this morning he told me he barely has the strength to get out of bed and make it to the toilet. He is a very muscular manual worker and normally strong as an ox.

He admitted to me that with hindsight he wished he had the vaccine.

Thanks Mods you rock.

That wasn’t sarcasm.

Her indoors has been positive on lateral flow but we’ve been waiting days for a PCR to arrive. Anyway I’m pretty sure I’m immune to all variants.
Good day.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong. Good luck.

Had a PCR test this morning after 4 negative lateral flows. Bit like yourself, sore throat and minor cough which by friday had led to being unable to answer the phone or use the site radios. Had a bath saturday afternoon then spent 20mins lying in the hallway short of breath, felt a great deal better yesterday for a few hours then headache appeared, coughing up all sorts of lumps that took my breath away.

Presumably is covid, doubled jabbed and boosted. A colleague has had a pretty hefty chest infection of late which given we're a 24/7 core team in a small space, might well be his germs.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully if it does turn out to be positive, you will both recover quickly.

Mum's care home now in lockdown following another member of staff catching COVID and residents now confined to their rooms. No visitors except named essential carers. Department of Health has also instructed no residents to leave the home unless except for life threatening purposes for the next two weeks. So that's knackered 4 hospital appointments, including removal of a wrist cast and injections for macular degeneration. 😡

Children back to school tomorrow & I bet it will close soon after when all the positive reports come in from staff & kids.

I really hope not. I hated it this time last year
