Are you fully recovered now? I had fatigue for quite a few weeks after the initial illness that lasted around 16 days?

No I’m not unfortunately.
Certainly on the mend slightly but otherwise physically useless. Managed a five min balcony walk and was out of breath. Showered die the first time in a week (didn’t need to and felt like too much of a struggle).
Washed all my ‘ill clothes’ & bedding in the hope that would make me feel better.
Still feel it in my lungs but yep...that lethargy is incredible.
Depression kicked in now. I’m someone who has absolutely has to get out & about daily on a big walk or run. I’ve been isolated for two weeks now & physically no chance of doing that (shortness of breath & extreme tiredness).

Not sure what else I can do to exorcise the bastard from within...

I followed covid and patterns , everything in real time as it happened , i have no link to give you. You went abroad six times in a pandemic ? You should think about that

So you literally have nothing then.
A huge claim and not a shred of evidence or source material to back it up with other than ''I followed it''.

Awesome stuff.

Was quite a big claim you made.

''People insisting on going abroad in the summer has hugely contributed to the spread in infections''

But you have absolutely nothing to back it up with?
Is that because you want it to be true, but it might not actually be true?

I think there's good evidence that variants from Spain became prevalent here after the summer.

Original research here.

www.medrxiv.org

Emergence and spread of a SARS-CoV-2 variant through Europe in the summer of 2020

A variant of SARS-CoV-2 emerged in early summer 2020, presumably in Spain, and has since spread to multiple European countries. The variant was first observed in Spain in June and has been at frequencies above 40% since July. Outside of Spain, the frequency of this variant has increased from...

30,004 cases

Lowest since 19 December

610 all settings deaths - which makes little sense as it is 13 lower than the England hospital deaths and only 1 of those was not from the past month. Plus there were 59 from the other nations.

Must be some recalculation going on here

It is certainly interesting and, like you already know, some "fit" people get very poorly yet some (like my partner's Dad) are seemingly vulnerable but skip through it.
Glad to read you are feeling better though, must have been scary for a while :-(

No by much mate but absolutely over the worse.
The fact my bones aren’t shivering all day, or then feel over heated is a bonus.
Just maddening.
But the data from al this ;as others have alluded to) should benefit humankind in the future in many ways.

What about the poster who had 6 overseas holidays this Summer?

Erm, it was between July and December, not just over last summer ;)

The travel corridor roulette made it difficult, so mostly just stuck to quick weekends away in between the weekly Gov decisions.

Sadly can't see anything happening abroad before May at the moment :( maybe even longer.

Shit mate, that's horrendous, wish you all the best, hopefully you start improving and at least you'll have immediate immunity from this bloody thing, for this that think it's just the "flu" ffs, it's a life wrecker, good luck.

For what it is worth it the acute chest problems do go away eventually ,took about nine months and now i have asthma but it is different for everyone , you are usually fit so you have a better chance getting it over quicker than me , although my lungs were perfect before . Stop trying to rush it away , just reat and potter about , take vitamins and inhlalers will help, if you are not on one then ask your dr about them , they can really help
 
I have a question to anyone who has had a home test on an in person test (the full ones that take a day or 2 for a result) - did your negative result say this

"Your coronavirus test result is negative. It’s likely you did not have the virus when the test was done."

I've put "likely" in bold, as it is different than the test result i had in December (and August) which said

"Your coronavirus test result is negative. You did not have the virus when the test was done"


So i'm just trying to check have they official changed their wording this year to "likely" rather than a definite "you did not", to maybe cover themselves...? Or, was there something in my test that could have made them not totally sure?

I was quite unwell for a week with a fever, sore throat, diarreah at the start too (monday, did the test wednesday), and complete exhaustion and dizzyness. Feeling mostly better now, but trying to judge.. I doubt it was that, as i feel i'd be more ill if it was, but it was a scary feeling, looking at my 4 year old worried i could die, i felt that ill on one of the days in particular. I had the flu jab in October btw.


Anyone with January tests out there? Thank you.

Yeah, my partner has had it but I didn't.
The studies into why this happens will be fascinating but an article on BBC news this morning said, again, the scientists are looking at blood. Some people's immune systems go into overdrive yet others don't. Weird.

Very early on in the pandemic I remember reading a paper that said it seems that a particular blood group is more immune than others, that blood group being O.
