At the height of the previous strain, I had to have a scan for kidney stones. Not one member of staff in the imaging dept. was masked up.No surprise. Infection control in the NHS has been dire for 30 years.
Of course it would. And as I say, despite nearly half the country having omicron in the last month, we are seeing only 1/3rd the daily flu deaths as we experienced in the winter of 17/18 when no fucker cared a jot about the flu, cared not how many were hospitalised and cared not how many came down with it every day.I wonder how many people would be admitted to hospital with a cold every winter if everyone was tested for one every time they stepped into a hospital, and the results uploaded to a government dashboard.
I suspect it might look something like the above.
Sounds bad, when you’ve had flu you know about it, makes me piss when people dodge work with a cold and call it flu :-)I had swine flu back in 2010 that was awful, I couldn’t get out of bed for 3 weeks, couldn’t eat, high temperature and waking up with sweats. I don’t think I’ve ever been as ill as that. Had covid back in September didn’t feel anything near like swine flu did, the Astra Zeneca jabs did what they were supposed to do.
“Full of flu” as they stand there sniffling.Sounds bad, when you’ve had flu you know about it, makes me piss when people dodge work with a cold and call it flu :-)
I had proper flu once a few years back and it was easily the most ill I've ever felt in my life. Was shivering, sweating, couldn't move, was delirious, absolutely horrendous.Sounds bad, when you’ve had flu you know about it, makes me piss when people dodge work with a cold and call it flu :-)
I’d forgotten about the delirium, bouts of short mad dreams when still awake, horrendousI had proper flu once a few years back and it was easily the most ill I've ever felt in my life. Was shivering, sweating, couldn't move, was delirious, absolutely horrendous.
I was single at the time and living on my own as well - I remember it taking all the energy I had in my body to drag myself to heat up some soup.

I had it in 1997. I lived alone. I thought I was going to die. I ran out of food and walked to the corner shop in slippers and a dressing gown to get a tin of Heinz tomato soup. Only a 6 week bout of pneumonia has ever topped it. Then not only did I think I was going to die, I actually didn’t care.I had proper flu once a few years back and it was easily the most ill I've ever felt in my life.

good news.Mancheser hospitals have just reported that the situation declared last week as becoming critical has eased this week. Patient numbers not rapidly escalating. ICUs not being stretched. And staff levels are back up after many off last week due to having Covid or isolating.
Morecambe area that last week declared critical status has stepped that down today too,
Suggests the falling numbers are real and not just fewer test related. Though that has not been very evident in the daily test numbers anyway.

Its pretty clear that at this point most people not vaccinated wont listen to science and data.This is the type of the data we should be using to get people to get themselves vaccinated. Not threats or coercion, not “you‘ll lose your job or you’ll kill your granny”, but real information like this.
