Started with a cough on Saturday afternoon, had a temp of 38 on Sunday evening (it was only 36.1 Saturday morning when I was checked at work) and today a weird smell and taste. Have still tasted everything I've eaten though.

Feels like just being ill so far, a bit drained and dizzy every now and then, cough comes and goes, feel like I'm clearing my throat more than I am coughingHow are you feeling ?
Hopefully it's just mild. Hope you feel better soon.Started with a cough on Saturday afternoon, had a temp of 38 on Sunday evening (it was only 36.1 Saturday morning when I was checked at work) and today a weird smell and taste. Have still tasted everything I've eaten though.
I've only been to work and home in the last week and my wife is on maternity so 90% sure it's from work yet I'm the first positive case2 out of the 10 confirmed cases at our workplace were asymptomatic apparently.
That's sad, my thoughts go out to his family, Rip.A supervisor i know who worked on a site in the city centre died at the weekend. He was in a coma and had covid/pneumonia. The plug was pulled and later past away only 62. R.I.P Pete

Not great news in this Story.
They have said this from early days though haven't they, not sure why they are making such big news of it now we are starting to get some positive news about the vaccine. All makes me very suspicious I have to admit.

It could be linked to how important it is for vaccines to boost antibodies that the Oxford vaccine (unofficially) is achieving.They have said this from early days though haven't they, not sure why they are making such big news of it now we are starting to get some positive news about the vaccine. All makes me very suspicious I have to admit.
I don’t blame some people being taken in by the herd immunity propaganda but clearly it is a non starter.

News media organisations and espcially the BBC go out of their way to big up bad news. Sensationalist doom mongering headlines grab the attention. Bad news sells. They are more interested in how many clicks they get than the wellfare of the nation. Same as in the any economic downturn, its as if they almost want to talk us into a recession at times.They have said this from early days though haven't they, not sure why they are making such big news of it now we are starting to get some positive news about the vaccine.

There is hope of progress real soon.Not great news in this Story.
Had a quick scan on relevant threads to see if I was about to have my own Titanic put down ( always wanted one really) seen nowt so hear goes.
Been told my three separate people today I have known for donkeys and trust implicitly that senior NHS staff are to prepare for mass vaccine roll out - 2 of the guys said within the next 2 weeks and the other mentioned this side of Xmas .
NHS front line staff and people working in care homes are first on the list.
Just thought I’d share that - thought Trump was electioneering yesterday but he was equally upbeat.
Fucking wonderful news , fingers crossed.

we certainly would have had no hope of winning world war 2 with today’s media.

That's fine but it's rolling news on GMB, Dr Hilary has been interviewed on the same thing twice in less than an hour and it's come through as a news alert on my phone. On the same day that the Oxford vaccine has been reported to produce an antibody response in both of and young, which has not even been mentioned.It is being reported because it is a big study that has just reported something that was thought before but not known across a population.

At no point did I say lockdown completely, I actually agree with you that there needs to be a balance as the economy is as important. I am just pissed off that people flaunt the rules or have no self discipline when it comes to wearing a face mask I mean how difficult is it.Excuse me, I neither deny Covid exists or refuse to wear a mask, in fact I have one in a couple of different coats and one in the car, I also gave hand sanitizer in my car too.
I’m actually a believer that we’re doing more harm than good with closing everything down but as usual if you go against certain people on here you’re drowned out by the mob.
You lot waiting for the vaccine to save you and return to normal what happens when it doesn’t materialise? Keep fucking the economy up for years?

With only about 5% of people having antibodies resulting from the virus, possible vaccines were always going to be the biggest show in town.ive a feeling its been put out to frighten people to have the vaccine.ill have it by the way.just seems a bit suspicious

Deny science.

If it's non stop coverage, I agree it's probably a bit over reported.That's fine but it's rolling news on GMB, Dr Hilary has been interviewed on the same thing twice in less than an hour and it's come through as a news alert on my phone. On the same day that the Oxford vaccine has been reported to produce an antibody response in both of and young, which has not even been mentioned.
I did see a fair bit on the Oxford vaccine personally.
