I’ve been rough for a few days, did a test yesterday only really because we had one in the house and I have it. Think i am starting to improve now. Have heard of a few cases in the area.

Into the 4th week of it here and have the frustration of having to cancel all this weeks work today Will be interesting to see who’s understanding and who’s not
Thankfully nothing was booked in for today as was anticipating a few breakdowns

Thanks for the thoughts, it is strange, always understood Covid was about coughs not runny noses.my wife has tested dozens of times in the past with a cough but always negative before.
funny thing we have not been anywhere to really make contact with people this Christmas so no idea where I picked it up

Didn’t realise people were still testing for it now as it’s just a heavy cold at worst.

There is a lot of people in hospital with it!
why they have not promoted more widely thst it is presenting as heavy cold , i do not know relation was doing delivery work for Tesco’s before Christmas carried o working with very heavy cold , unaware that they could well have had covid. Thought they were doing a lot of older people a good turn by dropping the shopping in

You have no idea how it’s effecting some of us

Neighbour has had zero sense of taste or smell since last spring. Constantly getting chest infections and can’t shift them. Six courses of ABs so far and still suffering.

Friend of mine has had husband and son both in bed with it for several days. Weak as kittens.

Partner and I both had either Flu or Covid. Doris was only a bit under the weather for a few days, but it really floored me, all I could do was drag my self up to scrape out/feed, then back to sleeping in front of the fire, I didn't even feel like eating. Was it Covid? I don't know, but I am still not 100%.

Whats the opinion on the vaccine, I have one due ,not sure to have it or not , I've had 3 , surely we don't need anymore

I had the vaccine last autumn ASAP as I am on the at risk register, due to chest issues, certainly got infected last week but was unaware, so a result I think. My wife had the jab too and was slightly ill but nothing to worry about, has carried on regular duties, keeping me busy

Dad and his group of friends all had COVID boosters and been quite ill over Xmas with it.

I never took it this time, I was always quite unwell last few times I've been vaccinated. I haven't caught it for some reason. Rest of house has.

Why do people go with the 'had x amount, don't need any more'. Different vaccines give different levels of protection even without evolution of new strains. Some are a one-off primary course only, others need annual or more often boosting.

We vaccinate our cattle for lepto and IBR annually, not 'oh won't bother any more'.

Wife got it a week before Christmas and lost her voice on the 22nd for over a week . Best present I've ever had

Still got about a dozen boxes of tests left over from the kids at school. Never done one myself
