Cheers mate. Hope you and @somapop are feeling better?
I’ve just done some reading up on the flu vaccine and studies have shown that it can be effective in reducing the seriousness of Covid symptoms. Obviously not the kind of efficacy of the Covid vaccines and not effective for everyone. As it happens, I went and had my first ever flu jab on December 29th as they rolled it out further to those of us who are 50 and over. I’m hoping it helps me fight this off because I’ve heard far more horror stories this time round of people being in a bad way with this compared to the first wave

I'm getting there cheers mate. I haven't had the flu jab before, so can't speak from any experience on that front. I think in general during this wave transmission seems way higher, so in turn more younger folk will get ill. On the plus side, way more are still beating it without serious illness so think positive in that regard. Hopefully you'll be one of those - take it easy!
 
I'm all too aware that we've tested positive at similar times but having different experiences, I think that sums this whole thing up regarding how it affects each and every individual - there's just no accounting for it. All I can say is try not to compare your situation to others too much, let your body go through what it has to go through to get itself on the mend. If you're anything like me you will be anxious and I suppose it's natural, take it easy and don't question yourself as to why you're not better yet.

As @marco has said above, that phone call is there if you need it and you can rely on us having some of the best medical staff on the planet to help you - if you need it. I know you're a runner too, have faith in your body, let it do what it has to do and you'll get there. Stick in mate. Sounds utterly ridiculous I know, but when I found myself struggling a bit I ended up picking out my City XI for the next few games, what I'd like to see happen in the summer, who I'd bring in, who I'd let go or sell*, simple things like that just to take my mind away from it.

*ffs Mahrez :-)
Thanks mate. When you’re ill like this (and with flu too) your brain goes very darkens it’s difficult to stay positive. I usually tend to get creative to lift moods but I can’t concentrate on anything.

probably marginally worse again this morning. I’ve booked an appt with my GP.
Main worry (aside from feeling absolutely horrid) is coughing fits end up almost making my faint hence my worry about oxygen levels. Depending on the what my doc says I may end up phoning 111...it’s battering me completely.
Positive test result came through during the night as expected. Rapidly gone downhill overnight and feel like shite now. That’s 4 of us from work so far out of a workforce of 10. My boss had it last March and his test came back negative.
Rest up mate and hope you mend up sooner rather than later.
We all tested positive, results came through over night
Take it very easy mate & good luck.
 
Sorry to read that @somapop. Hopefully the coughing fits will soon begin to subside a bit for you. Doing the right thing speaking to your GP. Good luck mate.

Stay strong pal and good luck.
 


Perhaps some positivity from Israel on the vaccine front to start the day. The text is of course in Hebrew but it's self explanatory. Yellow line represents people over 60, who represent a good chunk of people who've been vaccinated. The red line (under 60s), aren't at the same stage of vaccination process. As we can see they've followed each other closely... up until now that is. Early days but perhaps first real positive signs of the Pfizer doing its job.
 
Reading how this has hit some of you guys, I was feeling guilty about being on the clinically extremely vulnerable list and told to stay in and off work, when in fact I dont think I should be. Well if the docs think I should be that's fine with me !

Wishing you all a speedy recovery, stay safe everyone

Thanks mate. Really hope you improve and soon. How many days are you into it?
 
I agree entirely, thats why I found it quite depressing.
If that is the case then to a certain extent all we will be doing is existing rather than living. People will start to feel battle fatigued and will start to rebel against the restrictions.
Some may take the view that we are all going to go at some point so we might as well enjoy ourselves before we do.
