What?
You’d go out in public whilst infectious?

If I felt well enough yes, got two kids with various school/nursery/clubs drop off etc and with the wife working nights full time it just wouldn't be practical for me to be stuck in the house if I felt ok.

We've all had our jabs etc so done as much as we can, we have to do what we need to do.
 
Just tested positive - got a fever, aches (mostly in my knees and ankles) and a big headache, hopefully it doesn't progress.
 
I’ve had it for a week and still struggling. The headaches gone though, which was the worst thing, it’s more fatigue and the loss of taste and smell now.
 
I'm having my 4th jab tomorrow. Had the flu jab last Saturday.

Then a hip replacement to look forward to
 
Also rough as fuck. Bad cold or the Rona I have no idea as I dont have any tests.

Regardless I’m stuck in work because no work, no pay unfortunately

I’m lucky in that we don’t allow staff in with it and we get paid. Have to send in test results each day as we provide them but tough if you’re not in the same boat as I am.

It's been 6 days, i'm still testing positive and still ill - i've finally gone past the shivers and the sleep and fever part, but my throat is like a cheese grater and still can't stop coughing, mouth tastes of sick, and still feel faint. And as expected in a small flat my partner has tested positive now too, he works from home and his boss is annoyed he's had today off sick (and the rest of this week probably) but he's in bed shivering and feeling awful. So far our 6 year old is negative.

My question to any of the experts on here is - with the current varient, how soon do you catch it again?

I know in the early days of the virus they said you had months, but that it had dropped with the newer ones.

I still plan on getting the vaccine when i can (i'm 47 so was only qualifying as my mums carer), but promised i'd check on here about immunity? As my son is already pressuring me into organzing a playdate as soon as i'm better, but it's their home i'm worried i got it from! (That or the derby!)

I've put my question in bold so it doesn't skip - sorry for that!

There’s more than one variant doing the rounds.

Even so, what's the reinfection rate for the various variants?

A play date will be expected of me within a week of being better, and i know that family mix with everyone, and it has always worried me so i'd never been yet lo and behold i test positive within 7 days of the first time i'd been at theirs!

I'm on day 9 of positive tests now, i've past the shivers and fever, but my throats still a cheese grater and i can#t stop coughing (and that taste of sick in my mouth..)
 
The weekly Covid hospital numbers are out and they match the surprisingly good Zoe numbers that for a few days have been suggesting this wave has already just about peaked.

These are more up to date than the ONS numbers the media report on Fridays that are over a week old.


Both Zoe and Hospital data goes up to yesterday,

Zoe show new cases peaking two days ago on 239,922 and after two falls are today on 235,829.

North West is 9 out of 12 UK regions for case numbers on Zoe.With Merseyside higher than Greater Manchester. So take care if going to Anfield.

In the past week England hospital numbers were day to day up to yesterday:-

9631 - 9922 - 10,070 - 10,049 - 10,181 - 10,397 - 10,522 - 10, 608

This is also cearly showing a near flattening - as these numbers will lag cases by a few days The rise week to week was 2307 the week before and is just 977 this week,

Daily admissions seem to have peaked about 6 days ago around 1400 - much lower than the last wave if so where it was over 2000.

North West patients peaked around the same time and are slowly falling the past few days. On 1226.

Ventilated patients and deaths have both risen a bit but neither are above the most recent wave in mid to late Summer. Currently 221 on ventilators - just 21 of those in the North West.

Deaths are the last measure to change so will be a week or ten days before they fall but there has yet to be a 100 deaths i one day in this wave.

Totals for last 2 months per week in England are:

519 - 414 - 316 - 265 - 246 - 204 - 234 - 338 - 462 the latest week

Will likely peak next week or the week after.

The above are the only meaningful figures worth watching nowadays.

So unless told not to do I will post them every Thursday until this wave is cleary over or this thread disappears again.

But whilst it is here it is worth a weekly one off status report on where we are heading. To give context to your thoughts,
