Coronavirus (2022) thread

I’m still positive (most unlike me) after 7 days so no benefit to me. I’d imagine it will only be completely asymptomatic contacts who will test negative at day 5, if anyone.

I tested negative this morning, this is Day 6, This would be good news if I also felt significantly better, problem is I don't. I still feel incredibly tired. Wiped out would be a good description.

Keep safe pal. Hydrate, painkillers and rest. That wiped out feeling is horrible. I'd rather have the headache etc than being absolutely shattered just going for a piss.

People with high levels of T cells from common colds are less likely to catch COVID, according to a new peer-reviewed study.

Imperial College London research said the high levels of T cells and the role in fighting COVID is an "important discovery" - but warned "no one should rely on this alone" and insisted people should still get vaccinated as the "best way" to protect against COVID.

T cells and B cells? Who knew? That made you a science denier 12 months ago!

Keep falling asleep, especially in the afternoons.
I feel like I’ve been ‘unplugged’ and not in an acoustic way….

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called on European officials to consider moving to a flu-like monitoring system for COVID given falling death rates.

He said the change would mean treating COVID-19 like an "endemic" as opposed to a pandemic.

Spanish health authorities are drafting a system in which every new infection would not need to be recorded and people with symptoms would not necessarily be tested but they will continue to receive treatment.

Same here headaches are gone, but just no energy and very tired. 3 days ago I wasn't feeling this bad.

Covid-19: Common cold may give some protection, study suggests

Researchers say immune cells made to defend the body against some colds could help stave off Covid.

Not unusual, took me 8 weeks to get over the lethargy, few pints in the Bleeding Wolf will sort you out :-)

Spanish health authorities are drafting a system in which every new infection would not need to be recorded and people with symptoms would not necessarily be tested but they will continue to receive treatment.

One of the issues with this sort of approach is that it negates the new antivirals, which require almost immediate dosing for effectiveness.

If you don't test people with symptoms immediately, you either dose everyone immediately on getting symptoms consistent with covid (probably impractical) or essentially lose those treatments as an option.

I'm not saying it's the wrong way forward, just that there are down sides.
