Covid is a family of viruses so they likely will have discussed health implications of them years ago if any managed to get here and were dangerous. But Covid 19 - the one we have now (19 being a clue nobody thinks it was the first) - has created a pandemic that the others had the potential to do but none did.

So this one is novel in that respect because it did. And everyone refers to it as Covid for short. So you surely knew what I meant. Much planning for a pandemic was built around a flu like pandemic and only months before Covid arrived there was a chilling BBC documetary that was created as an experiment using mobile phones to imaginarily infect people following the plans and science to see how it spread across a real town and beyond. It assumed the same premise.

We discussed it in here in the early days of the pandemic.

By chance the town they chose to be focus and involved many of the citizens in had one of the very first real Covid cases after the simulation when the real thing arrived.

Mobile phones you say? The conspiracy theorists will love that.

Speaking of which, since I’ve had my booster my 5G reception is fantastic. Good old Billy Gates!

My young daughter isolating again after testing positive just 11 weeks after she was positive via PCR. So she'll have had both delta and Omicron within 3 months.

Oddly she's worse with this one. Last time she had a sore throat for half a day and that was that, this time she's had a full on headache for over 15 hours, and mentally much worse this time too, even though she's possibly out of isolation sooner. She got through last time with homework and YouTube kids, this time she has no enthusiasm for any of it and wants someone outside her door at all times. I feel like a right tight git for not hugging her.

A reminder that, whilst the Omicron variant is in general less dangerous to most of the population, it can still give some of us a pretty rough time just as flu can or a bout of winter vomiting bug . Something the conspiracy theorists would do well to remember - real people are affected by this daily whilst they spout their hidden agendas to all, encouraging us to ignore science in favour of anagrams and deliberately misinterpreted information.

Remember when the mad heads starting actually burning down phone masts, that was a fun moment wasn't it.

Any of them still at it?

Let’s hope so, that would be a dream scenario.

It’s wiped me out for 5 days now mate and still not looking like any improvement any time soon.
The headache has definitely been the worst part, severe as fuck.
Hope she feels better soon.

Dare we criticise some of the NHS Staff? All the absenteeism after New Year and all they had to do was say they’d been in contact with someone who had Covid and that’s a nice little holiday on full pay. Obviously not just NHS but looking at the numbers definitely some of them, banging pots and pans was never for me, they stepped up to the plate when required but after all it’s their job, just like a Soldier who goes into battle, don’t expect it but that’s what the training is for.

Cheers. Part of me thinks "sod it, let's just mingle in our household and all get it". Better than having a child isolating for days. Only thing that stops me is her youngest sister has had respiratory issues in the past.

Undoubtedly she got it from school. Found out a classmate of hers who was in all week last week, tested positive on Friday night, which as well all know is the absolute best time to test your school attending children!

of course some will take the p*ss but overall the NHS staff have gone above & beyond through Covid and have had to work in the toughest conditions and underfunding for many years - I've seen the toil it's had on my bro in law who works in ICU - he's had hardly anytime off in the last two years.

Had my booster yesterday, had to wait until I was clear of covid symptoms for 28 days.

Now I feel like superman on steroids ;)
