I echo this. Hope things turn around soon for you, but I'm sure you posting will improve the understanding of it for many. Good luck, I hope some antibiotics help.

depending on the care home provider, between 5 and 20% of care home staff have refused a vaccine when offered, and up tp 2.7% of residents. I wonder what the overall uptake up to now is?

Any care home staff who are unwilling to have the vaccine when offered shouldn't be allowed to go to work.
Have the vaccine or get another job

I know even asymptomatic cases can have long term lung scarring, does anyone know if this type of scarring heals itself over time or is there likely to be some kind of permanent feature? I've never smoked, but as I understand it 'smokers lung' can heal in time if people quit, wondering if the damage caused by Covid can do likewise and improve?

Still waiting for the call (they’ve messaged to advise of a computer issue...).

Feet are actually getting painful now...what on earth is causing that? It’s like chilblains.

England only vaccination update:

170, 900 new vaccination doses in England yesterday. That like other nations is a fall from expectations but a small rise on the 154. 564 reported yesterday . Though well down on the 274, 793 last Friday.

There were also 3, 750 second doses.

Starting to look like there may be a few supply restraints.

3, 687, 206 have now had a first dose and 431, 136 of those have also had their second dose.

That means absolutely nothing without any context and just comes across as fear mongering.
When did he have his first jab? When did he test positive for the 2nd time. How ill is he this time in comparison to the first time he tested positive?

not fear mongering at all, just saying what i just found out.

he was tested positive about October last year, he had a mild cold.

he had his first jab a couple weeks ago

he gets tested daily working in NHS and has tested positive yesterday, he says just a mild cold again and is isolating.

he's young, but does have a collapsed lung, so needs to be careful.

but at this stage, he is fine.

Mate of mine works at stepping hill and has tested positive 3 times since November on the rapid test each time sent for real test and each time negative.
It’s very rare for two tests to come back positive in six months if their not the rapid ones.
