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.

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

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.
 
My wife and I have it, she is a PSW in a nursing home and caught it there. So far it feels like a really bad cold, but we're both vaccinated so that helps a bit.

Not really. Pretty much everyone is now going in this direction and the virus is clearly nothing like what it was even 12 months ago. Time to move on.

Yep, I imagine we'll be having the same conversation here about it in the next few months.

It's all about impact and risk vs reward. If the impact of covid is no more than a common cold (not saying it necessarily is now but once it gets to that stage) then why have more stringent rules than we had in the past. We never tested people like this and it's likely that doctors and nurses have been working with rhinoviruses and other coronaviruses for years. If they feel so unwell as to have to call in sick that's a control.

If a covid positive doctor treats people but the impact is small, how does that compare with the loss of functionality of the health service of having these staff off? If we'd have stopped them coming in for 7 days for common colds in 2019 everyone would have thought we'd lost our minds.
