Bit misleading because it refers to the one day Christmas bubble rather than the whole December blow out.
You'd be hard pressed I would have thought to track the effect of one day.
IMO the terrible death numbers we are experiencing now are a combination of the new virus and the month long December party.

Hi mateMy line manager has text me and told me to phone my doctor on Monday to find out why I am in the clinically extremely vulnerable group !!
I think work think I shouldn't be in this group and should be at work. It's a shame the letter doesn't say why. But I guess it's the two small opps I had in October. It will takes ages to get through to my doctor as this surgery is being used to give the anti covid19 jabs for surgery all over the area.
Might just tell a white lie and say it's down to the two small skin cancer opps and the camera up my arse ;)
PS we are still waiting for the council to have a covid19 policy or even a risk assessment.
My guess would be some form of inner ear infection, could also be linked to sinuses.My test came back negative but I still can’t stand up without been off balance! Have no idea what’s up so just lay in bed all day even lifting my head off the pillow makes the room spin
just been on the web site as well ! i have also been using Efudix 5 cream which is a chemotherapy cream to kill pre cancer cells on my head. Not sure i should have been out working when using that to be honest as i looked like an extra from the 'Singing Detective' !. But wasnt told to take time off so carried on workingHi mate
Just been on the govt site it states people specific cancers and those under going treatment are in this category, you really don't need to lie bud, you have been put in this category for medical reasons.
It's staggering that work have this attitude and its amazing they arnt taking covid seriously.
For anyone who lost their sense of taste/smell, how long did it last? And did it come back as quickly as it left or more a gradual thing? Not much to enjoy when you're stuck in isolation, meals was at least one thing I looked forward to in a day.
That is your ears , phone up and get some antibiotics , if they dont work it is viral and will right itselfMy test came back negative but I still can’t stand up without been off balance! Have no idea what’s up so just lay in bed all day even lifting my head off the pillow makes the room spin
Yes, I can attest from my family that Christmas very clearly created a spike. Of the 10 who mixed over Christmas directly 7 of them have since tested positive. And all were said to have probably caught it in that few days after Christmas Eve. They ranged in age from children through to late 60s and happily though they varied in how ill they felt and how long it lasted none were anywhere near serious enough to get close to needing to go into hospital. Though the oldest of them is still not back to any kind of normal three weeks on.here’s hoping this does pan out. There was clearly a spike in cases 4 days after Christmas and New Year’s Eve but they don’t seem to have translated into hospitalisations.

You cant get in the drs so go for the obvious first and work back , you have to be shown by a dr how to displace the crystals , sometimes once is enough if the dr does itNot necessarily.
If you’ve developed labyrinthitis or Meniere’s disease antibiotics won’t do anything.
It’s a problem caused by crystals in the inner ear detaching and disrupting the balance sensors.
You can only treat the symptoms through anti nausea and anti vertigo meds.
Indeed - I have posted about this osmosis effect of the tiers in here for months - in fact since it happened with Wigan in August when it was initially excluded from the GM restrictions and numbers went through the roof.Stockport bordered many areas where you could step easily into an area where haircuts pubs restaurants were all open, many did, literally living next door to an area that was technically open must of caused some spread.
my sister in law is just starting to get hers back 2/3 months later.

I think this strain is incredibly infectious and in any kind of close contact situation looks like if one has it then most of you spending any time with that person will too. But happily no real sig it is particularly more dangerous. Indeed I would not be entirely surprised if in due course it turns out it is less deadly as a kind of trade off versus infectivity that can happen with viruses as it really has no evolutionary purpose to a virus to infect more and just kill them all off. Infecting and thriving is the aim of this evolutionary process not geocide. Death of the host for a virus is an unsought happenstance.
IN some respects the world is blaming the UK for letting this new super spreader take off but it might actually be paradoxically the best thing to happen in a sense that it might speed up the inevitable and necessary equilibrium that is the only way out for us all.
We will never eradicate Covid. We will reach a point where it is sufficiently rated as more a nuisance than a threat. It will always kill a proportion of the elderly and unwell as dozens of diseases and viruses do. But the problems we have had here is its newness and in that period when both the virus and ourselves as a species seek some kind of balance point is when it is most deadly.
The faster we emerge from that fast the faster the new normal becomes more like the old normal. Though that normal will almost certainly never involve Covid going away.
Thanks.Sorry to hear your having such a crap time with it. I had 2 days of fever then 5 days with the horrendous throat infection and then the symptoms cleared and I was just knackered for the week after. Hope you feel better soon.
There will be more coronaviruses of varying impact - yes. That has long bee true. And another pandemic - maybe 50 years from now - maybe 5.Covid-19 is an example of punctuated evolution. There is no equlibrium because Sars-Cov-2 evolves over time to Sars-Cov-3.
