Well tomorrow will be 5 days from first exposure, so i'll see tomorrow if I actually have covid or not. Although feel fine no symptoms yet.

sounds like you'll be OK, I had symptoms for a couple of days before I tested positive in April

Here's hoping! Otherwise it's gonna be a long july 4th weekend lol

My wife has just had covid and as she works for the NHS was unable to return to work until day 15 as kept testing positive despite feeling ok. Seems for the NHS at least the policy has not changed much since the very start of the pandemic.

I wonder what the chances are of law suits resulting from time off, injury and death being caused by a workplace hazard (COVID)? If this is possible, it could end up up being far more expensive than the present system of providing unlimited full paid leave for healthcare workers impacted by COVID. Plus, the government really need to avoid further pissing off large public sectors, especially doctors and nurses.

Wow that's shocking and can see her response now when I tell her later after being on call all night. Striking will not be easy for her due to patient welfare concerns and for many others as well.

[Chakan]

So tests done.

I'm negative, wife has covid.

FFS.

UK health chiefs brace for ‘bumpy ride’ amid fears over Covid wave

I was hoping they might drop it to over 50s but it looks like they will hold the line at over 65s for autumn booster, I may be over in the US in late autumn, I might just grab an Omicron specific one there if I do go!

Still baffling why you can't just pay for it now, I'm sure there are no supply problems any more

Shouldn't have to pay for it yet, maybe a few more years down the line and it'll just be like the flu jab where you can pay for it if you wish, but at the minute if there are any spare jabs and they have the capacity to do so, then it should be slowly working it's way down the age ranges for free.  I'm sure there are a lot of families out there who would like to have another booster, but in the current financial climate can't afford to vaccinate the whole family.

Of course the elderly and at risk groups should be free, the rest of us should have a choice

And now i'm positive meh

After being so vigilant and cautious.

Annoyed.

I hope you are doing well, avoid complications and get well soon! But you have to come to peace with the fact that we're all gonna get it at some time, mate. The best we can do is get our vaccines and boosters and hope the virus evolves to a less potent variety.

Thanks mate, yeah just lying in bed for the moment. Mild headache, and mild fever so far. Will see how it progresses. Just really annoyed though as my wife’s sister apparently said she had a sore throat before she came to visit, but no one told me.

That’s tough, I hope it stays mild and you are soon fighting fit.

[Chakan]

Ty all here’s hoping!

[thejbs]

Was kinda worried about getting covid at the wedding I was at yesterday. Instead I seem to have picked up a norovirus-like illness. I’m not sure covid was any worse than this both-ends bombardment 😂

[Studgotelli]

Here we go again!

[Crosby Nick]

Two cases in my house again.

[didi shamone]

Two cases in my house again.

Inside the front door with your name on them?

[Red Beret]

Bastard finally got me. Symptoms started showing Thursday evening with achy joints, but I'd done fitness class in the morning so just put it down to my muscles complaining. Fortunately we were well spaced out for the group, so little likelihood of anyone catching it from me. But I was out with my bestie in the evening for dinner and drinks, so I hope she doesn't get it.

[PJLFC1]

Got the 7 of us once again as got us in February also & my baby twins were affected worse than us all again unfortunately & from horrendous green vomit to putrid smelling diarrhoea & soaring temperatures it’s been a nightmare & my two older girls aged 6 & 8 & partners 11 yr old boy were bad but nothing compared to the babies .

Hopefully it does get milder over the years as seriously takes it out of the little ones from what I have seen & I know youngsters are quite resilient & bounce back however the way things are going we could be getting this 3 times a year & it’s truly scary even thinking about the next time

[Crosby Nick]

Yep, I’ve been kicked out.

Maybe she gave it to you!

[Red Beret]

Nah. I would have been asymptomatic days before I saw her. I started showing symptons only an hour or so after we parted ways!

You've always been ahead of the evolutionary curve, maybe?

[rob1966]

Our kid has had it for over a week and still feels like shit, he was supposed to go to Lets Rock Southampton today but too rough to go. He's had it before and wasn't anywhere like this, he's been off work sick for over a week now.

[farawayred]

Or virus time travel is a thing.

[Chakan]

Wife tested negative this morning, i'm about 3 days behind her, so hopefully monday/tuesday I should be negative to. Wouldn't wish this on anyone, it's a rough disease, and I got the mild version.

[Red Beret]

You've always been ahead of the evolutionary curve, maybe?

Dunno about that. I've probably only managed to dodge the fucker this long because I live alone and have no family worth mentioning.

I've not been too bad today. Cough is mostly non existent, but my eyeballs are sore as fuck. Plus, my heart rate is slightly elevated - usually 60bpm but about 74bpm at the moment - my throat feels dry and tight, and there's a vague tightness in my chest.

Hopefully I'm well on the way to recovery by the time Monday rolls around. This isn't fun at all. Still, there's always ice cream 

[didi shamone]

Yep, I’ve been kicked out.

 .  Both my parents have had it this week. Just like a head cold. They were contacted to tell them they were due a booster just a few days before. My dad is 78 and has serious Kidney and heart issues. Thankfully covid ain't what it used to be.
My son and me had it in January and neither of us contracted it despite watching Wimbledon on tv with them.

Saw on BBC news this week that 11k+ are in hospital but 2/3 were in for other things. A stat that needs better explanation really cause it sounds "worse" than it possibly could be.

The problem is that the more it is present in hospitals, the more likely it is to spread to wards were patients are seriously immune suppressed like cancer wards.

Day 3 since I tested positive, four days since symptoms started showing up. Right now, all I really want is for somebody to go on a booze run for me.

[PaulF]

The cranks are on linked-in now One poor lass had her legs amputated. The science says it's as  a consequence of covid. But the mad people insist it's the vaccine.
