Coronavirus (2022) thread

[grunge]

The number of deaths in the last 7 days where Covid is mentioned on the Death Certificate is now only 54% the last 7 days total of deaths within 28 days of a test.
The published government stats on deaths are broken.

there is an upto 11 day lag for death certificates figure so can’t do a like for like over the last 7 days.

Sounds like our bunch of jokers could learn a thing or two from these South African scientists, who would have thought it.

British scientists came up with one of the first ever Covid vaccines and likely saved 10’s, if not 100’s of thousands of lives here.

Sounds like BM could could learn a thing or two from any scientist anywhere, who would have thought it.

I’m on day 10 now since my symptoms started (29th December). PCR was positive on 4th January.

LF test this morning is still positive. I feel a bit under the weather rather than “ill”.

Few queries please Blues

1. Given it’s day 10 can I now just crack on as of tomorrow?

2. I’m supposed to be starting a new job on Monday. Safe to crack on with that?

Ta :)

Yes, crack on. You’re not infectious.

I’ve had it for 12 months, trust me it’s real.

You misunderstood me, I'm not for one moment saying it's not real, just that sometimes it takes months to shake off the effects of flu fully too

Ta mate :)

You can still test positive for weeks after getting it but that doesn’t mean you can infect others.

The reduced 7 day window is there so those that are testing negative can get out early, if you’ve done your 10 days it doesn’t matter if you’re still testing positive, you can go out :-)

I don't think you should if you are still testing positive. That line at T is a virus antibody reaction that produces a coloured response. You still have virus in your airways and therefore you are infectious.

Hopefully you will be well by Monday.
