“Obviously, you don’t want to get infected if you’re very vulnerable,” he said. “But the disease is very mild in healthy individuals.
“So getting the disease, you’re actually getting the variant that’s circulating, so you’re getting good immunity.”
Oh shit.
Close the gyms
I got a right whack of it last week, from a co worker who knew he was sick and came in anyway, making everyone else sick. (My team’s online list now looks like a nearly finished Guess Who game and one of them had been advised to go to hospital last I heard from her)
Warned a friend I’d been around with a lot the few days before to keep an eye out, because she has young kids in playgroups and both she and her partner work, *and* they’re both around vulnerable people a lot.
“Don’t worry about it”, she says, “shur I’ve been coughing and spluttering on and off this two weeks with this awful fecking cold that I can’t seem to get over.”
Grand. Brilliant. Would have been nice to mention that to me any of the times I told you I was on the way to visit my quite poorly 90 year old relative in care.
In bits at the moment with it too second time this fricken year
Deaths for June are up something crazy by all accounts
Well feck.
The next two weeks are critical.
Work needs the cert sent in within 3 days. Takes at least 7 days to get a doctors appointment. I’m coming to work with a cough and sneezes, sorry.
Been a little sick the past couple days, which is strange because I haven’t been sick since 2020 when that omicron variant. I generally avoid people and work from home
No cough but a bad sinus blockage/infection. Headaches, fatigue. Had a fever last night so it’s clearing up.
My brother said he knows 3 people that had a sinus infection and headaches but also a cough
Interesting stuff
My wife tested positive earlier today. Has a fever, bad headache, sore throat and cough. (I had it twice before, but symptoms were very mild; wife has it much worse)
I know 4 close friends who have positive tests in the last 24 hours or so. All are independent of each other as well. Seems absolutely rife at the moment. Pains me getting the bus into work and you just hear 3/4 people absolutely hacking up coughs and sneezing. Just seems inevitable you’ll pick up something when people are going out when they should be in bed.
The wife and I had it a couple weeks back. I’ve had numerous boosters due my immune system so it was somewhat mild but I had a cold, cough and was exhausted. The wife was similar but a good bit worse on the cough side. Both over it now thankfully but it was a really lousy dose. I stayed home from work the second I felt crap but there’s plenty of people who’ve been coming into the office clearly not well.
My mother had it last week, bad cough, sore throat, headaches. Father didnt get it at all, and only the 2 of them in the house.
Brother has it this week too, aches and pains in legs, headaches, cough. Seems to be quite prevalent right now.
I’m in Oz and tested positive 2 days ago after lots of people at work caught it and I work with vulnerable group so I’m out for five days. Sneezed a bit on the first day, felt a bit stuffy and coming down with something on day 2. Just woke up on day 3 and I feel fine. Very surprising. Very mild. First time I had covid I was floored for a week
Do like the Japanese who have been doing this for a long time.
Wear a mask.
I have no idea how or where I picked it up from but I tested positive Monday and it’s floored me. What I didn’t have my first time around was constant headaches and throbbing pain in my eyes. I’ve had to lie with ice packs and near silence the last two days. I also have serious brain fog this time round, I’m relying on autocorrect.
I hope everyone is doing okay and anyone testing positive gets well soon. It definitely doesn’t feel “light” at all and I don’t have any underlying health issues.
