Still testing positive on LFT on day 7, if anything the positive line comes on quicker and stronger. Can’t go to City tomorrow now. No symptoms though. The way it’s going I’ll still be doing positive with LFT after 10 days, does a positive LFT mean I am infectious to other people?

My Mum is going to the match on my ticket with my Son. I hope she can get to the top of the South Stand with her COPD!
 
Daughter got Omricon last week after Delta in October. Ill for a day then tested negative on day 6. Oh to be 9 years old eh!

Also, a huge proportion of the population has been infected with covid in the past few weeks, far more than would be with seasonal flu.

and yet fewer died in the last few months than in the normal Flu season of 17-18 when no one actually gave a fuck about flu or fixated on numbers. Hell, you didn’t even have to create an account to log on to BM and talk about it that winter and probably didn’t even know it was happening.

Omicron is considerably less lethal than seasonal Flu as seen in Denmark, the U.K. and RSA and what great news that is.

Away from the death figures, seasonal flu also doesn’t floor as many people for such a long period of time as Covid so that they have to miss work through being ill.

I only returned to work today 15 days after I got Covid and started isolating. Despite testing negatively and not actually having any Covid infection symptoms left, I didn’t return to work after 10 days because I’ve been too fatigued, and I’ve not been fit to go back to work until now (and if it was a working day tomorrow I’m not sure I’d go in).

I’ve never really been a sickly person before. I’ve had one migraine before, had flu once which floored me for three days, and had swine flu when that was around with which I was very bloody ill with that for five days (worse than Covid while I had it but left me quicker and didn’t have any after effects), but I’ve never been ill with or felt like shit for 15 days like have have recently with Covid. But they’re the only times I’ve ever really been ill in my adult life (oh and I do get gout from time-to-time, but I don’t think of that as an illness, that’s just a side effect of eating too much red meat!)

That’s two weeks where my work have got no work out of me. So from a business point of view, Covid is worse than seasonal flu.

Flu for three days? Seems unlikely to be flu, more like a bad cold. Some NHS Hospitals now referring to covid as covid flu as the strain is now more mild.

Just reading the posts from Friday and the spat between @Rammy Blue and @kaz7. It’s down to the individual but following isolation rules now in most cases is just not worth it. Everyone who now works, socialises or attends events will have been exposed to Omicron, you have either had it, got it or recovered from it (latter without even knowing).

Where it is important to follow the rules is when someone is in touch with a vulnerable person who is shielding.

This variant is so mild we now have to live life and get the country going again. Wales and Scotland persisted with a lockdown and it made no difference, crack on.
