Coronavirus (2022) thread

Has anybody else been left with ‘long Covid’ and got problems with their joints? I now have pain and numbness in my fingers, wrists, elbows and feet that feels almost like Raynaud’s disease and I can’t walk very far without losing feeling in my feet. I was chopping onions last week and took the tip of my finger clean off because the joints just don’t seem to do what I want them to do. Really weird stuff this Covid and the lung problems are just a small part of it.
Talking to a retired senior nursing academic yesterday about how when isolating with Covid (minimal symptoms) I twisted a knee in bed and he mentioned "Covid knee". I'm just putting it down to age as I seem to pull a back muscle very easily.

It could be the vaccine of course...
 
I’ve not been able to exercise since having Covid. I’m knackered in minutes, I get pins’n’needles in my feet when I walk, every morning when I wake up I feel DOMS as if I’ve done a heavy weights workout the day before but I’ve not even exercised.

Going to the Spurs game the other week was proper hard work. It’s not like I walked or cycled there. I walked about 200m to the Met stop, got to Town and had a few pints, jumped on the Met to the Etihad, watched the game and got on the Met home. Hardly a day of big exertion!

I’ve not had this (yet) but hair loss is another symptom of long Covid.
I'm not sure "a few pints" is the best therapy for lack of fitness.
 
Impending financial doom? The economy is up 7.5% in the last year, back to levels just 2% below where they were before the pandemic started. We are currently experiencing the fastest economic growth we’ve had since the end of World War 2.

We’ve never been in a lockdown at any point during the pandemic, and the more strict restrictions that were coined a “lockdown” ended 11 months ago (almost 12, as it was 5th March 2021).

How's that GDP looking? Presume you're sitting back lapping up all the extra cash that's floating around these days
 
I had covid for the first time end of January, and ever since I had it, I have had nothing but a dull or painful ache in my lower and upper back, or across my chest.

Has anyone else experienced this?
I had similar back issues including cramping across the back. It lasted, on and off, for around 6 weeks.
 
Rail companies reporting sickness levels still causing staff shortages. Tests gone from 1000 a day to 60 a day, so people are going to work asympomatic and spreading it to colleagues who go off with symptoms (tested or otherwise). But they're guessing to some extent without testing.
 
Just being lazy. But do you need to be triple vaccinated to go abroad at the moment ? Or is double jabbed ok ?

Im going Denmark and Greece soon

Depends where you're going, when you had your 2nd jab, if you've had covid in the last x days. You need to stop being lazy and see what the rules are for Denmark and Greece ;)

I went Denmark a few weeks ago with two jabs, and a recorded LFT as my third basically. They didn't even check though. They've dropped all restrictions.
