Coronavirus (2021) thread

I’ve always been an advocate of fresh air indoors as much as possible, to combat cold and flu seasons.

I’d rather have windows open and wear a vest or a jumper, or put a blanket over me, than windows closed (and the heating on).

Used to drive my parents up the wall when I was younger as I’d go round and put the windows on the latch.

my wife sleeps with the windows open. Will you marry her?
 
Do the air think periodically, get lots of air in, shake things out, don't leave it open and sit there for hours. Even wrapped up very warm, the cold air itself is perfect temperature right now to carry and preserve Covid and other virus. And just breathing cold air will result in a lower blood flow - particularly to your nose. Lower chance the virus is stopped at source by whites and tcells. Already known to be true of all rhino and coronas pre covid.

Ahh. I tried all this. Didn't work for me. The only thing I can really say is we have loads of us here using tiny corridors, 1m by 6m by 7ft. Dozens of kids, families in flats too small, parents remarried to remarried parents, layers of step families mixing in other places. Also Hospital workers.

The only thing I would say is, I wish I'd not been the only one to wear the mask in communal areas. On the street. It's just likely to have been the only thing that went wrong here. People are heard coughing in the corridors. Out of windows is one thing I guess. But spitting on the floor? Dammit guys.

Leave your communal windows open. I always opened one, and it was always shut by the next resident. That stopped in November, when the tests ominously started turning up outside the last few people's houses.

Seemingly everyone but a select few of these 100 houses and flats here will have had something flu like this year. Some never stopped coughing and spitting on the ground or smoking. Now I've got a permanent cough. And of late, a permanent runny nose. It wants wiping all the damn time.

That is the clever by accident virus we have. The variants that make you cough but you're not really aware of it are the ones that get spread without thinking. You'd barely know you had a cough. At first. Then 6 months later you realise the sore throat might never go back to normal. Same thing with the runny nose. It just drips, hardly a stuffy cold. I found myself wiping it on my sleeve - and I know better. Then, it turned into sore eyes and an aching sore nose. Still no green stuff. And still just that gentle drip tempting you to use your sleeve, or your hand.

Ultimately, after months of this on and off, very low key, I've ended up with a virus scar like measles right on the apex of my right nostril. I can feel the damn nerve or whatever that goes right up into that eye, and back down to the root canal underneath it. It's like if you get a permanent slight weak spot on your chest from smoking and infection.

It comes without any big symptoms, just gets you coughing absently, wiping your nose, gets a bit worse, and by the end you can have had a proper mare on the quiet, and if you're like me, you now have what seems to be the permanent additions of a gravelly husky voice, and a load of very slight, less desirable stuff.
 
doing the rounds on Twitter;

if real, i think someone at Hull Hospital or NHS England should be held to task, this is going far too far and has really disturbing undertones, the likes of which only fuel the anxieties re facist states etc. doing the rounds. If fake, then fair do's, cant seem to verify though.
 
Where are you seeing those figures? The gov website hasn’t updated hospital figures since 22nd.
It has if you search there on England within healthcare.

The other nations data is very patchy and often behind. But the England NHS stuff there is usually up to date.

It also updates every day apart from at weekends when it is sometimes every other day .

But I usually access the nhs.england website where I get the hospital death data from every afternoon around 2 pm.

They update on a separate page the NHS England Covid patient stats in detail.

The page is called Covid 19 hospital activity.
 
Fuck me all the doom mongers and wums on here tonight. Mods should just lock this thread and let Healdplace do her daily updates. People need to come tofuckingether, instead we end up with a thread full of absolute shit. Always turns nasty. Slowly becoming very fucking toxic on here.
