Coronavirus (2021) thread

How are you?
Had you been jabbed?

Think it’s quite random in how & who it affects. Some of us (many I should say) have been unlucky.
I probably had a huge viral load too. Took my coughing, spluttering daughter down to get tested in a car back in Jan…inevitable I got a good blast of it.

Hi mate, Im ok, yes double jabbed, just seems like an ever increasing hangover at the minute, no couughing and spluttering though, which Im praying will mean I can get back to running when my 10 days of isolation is up

Colleague at work has just been taken into the MRI (she’s 27 and had at least one jab).
Her boyfriend had covid a week or so ago but she tested negative last week.
They’re testing her again & she’s in IV’s and they’re testing for all sorts (she’s coughed up blood) & keeping her in overnight.

If not covid there’s some nasties doing the rounds atm.

Dave doesn't even need an "An I'm exempt" sticker, he just needs to say it if challenged. Under the disability act it's a crime to ask why or refuse him entry or boot him off transport.

Aye and no doubt dave has a tidy little paid for house with his disability car parked outside, whilst the mugs of the country go out to work day in day out and are not entitled to shite all when these things happen.

Today's stats say different. The UK is on the brink of another surge.

You can't judge a country's response over the course of a few days (or even weeks). You have to compare over a much broader period and to date, the UK has handled the pandemic as poorly as any European country (based on deaths per capita).


The clear sign is that its unvaccinated people driving these surges. Hopefully, more people see sense and get vaccinated ahead of the inevitable Christmas spike.

Of course you can't, so why were you saying we should impose mask mandates and other restrictions to be more like those countries?

I doubt the UK in on the brink of a surge. It tends to go up for a while then down for a while.

And of course, I hope all unvaccinated see sense.

You've missed my point slightly. Its that anybody can say they're exempt with no proof required. I've witnessed it on the tram, multiple young people just say it and the official just walks off

Good. My mate was the same as you’ve described (double jabbed) but rough for a week but then back running around ten days.
If you haven’t been utterly floored with it (as in you can’t leave your bed) you may be fine soon mate.

let us know. I hated not running…put a stone in in weight too :(

Crikey mate, are you trying to freak me out?? The mrs and kids have all tested negative and Im quarantined in a bedroom so hopefully they will be ok

Ha. No….bizarrely it’s probably not covid she has.

Hedgehogs have the right idea in winter…
