My household finally succumbed to Covid. All four of us, catching it for the first time in the space of 6 days.

Inevitable we would catch it, fortunately symptoms very mild, only me displaying runny nose and sneezing.

I get the isolation but the fact I can't go outside is a bit weird.

Glad I listened to you lot on here when vaccines were first mooted. I was hesitant but with your experiences, links to facts etc I'm sat on my couch bored shitless with the wife and kids. Better that than ICU.

Cheers all.

If/when I catch it there’s absolutely not a cat in hell’s chance I am locking myself in the house for a week.

Just fuck it off and use a bit of common sense.

Going for a walk on your own round the block etc is doing absolutely nobody any harm.
 
I tested positive for covid last Monday but I’m still positive today but I thought most people are negative after 7 days . What’s the longest anyone in here as been positive for ?

I have isolated for 10 days now. Came out of isolation to go to work. Thought I’d still do a test as daughter is pregnant. I’m still showing positive after 10 days, don’t know if that means I can pass it on, but keeping away from her until negative. Also wearing a mask in shops and visiting other workplaces.

The latest guidelines suggest you can go outside to exercise as long as you are on your own

I don't mind anyone having a go. Nor do I mnd anyone moaning if I post too much data.

I have cut this well down in response and to wean myself off doing this and now just post the bare minimum as you see by these threads having been off the first page a lot. Especially the data thread which has been seeing fewer and fewer posts. Which is what I had hoped.

But it seemed sensible to point out why deaths seemed to have risen today but tomorrow they will fall. For those who will likely only catch the numbers in the paper or on TV.

I had to check my log to see what was the cause as I had half forgotten a week had zipped by already. And it was good news because the increase was artificial.

Of course it does not lessen the sadness of every one of these deaths. And it is not wrong of Kaz to remind me that these are people not numbers. That was not what I was doing but it was something we should never forget. And it is easy to do so when you post lots of statistics.

has the cheek to call me a troll/wum when i on the very rare occasion pull her up - already been banned, starts a argument every day with someone, constantly picking on heald stats and told us all the high deaths recently was because we celebrated Christmas. Hopefully has another ban as she spoils a constructive and informative thread.

I remember that Christmas post. Proper weird.
 
I caught the end of an important programme on the BBC last night by the treatment of the AZ vaccine. A key themes was that the “not for profit” offer had backfired in a world of corporate greed and media manipulation of gullible populations. AZ made mistakes too (eg on PR) and there were the blood clots affecting a very small minority of people.

I think this thread is pretty messed up (with notable exceptions including Healdplace’s great work) when people advocating going to mass events with Covid go unchallenged but it’s a sin to empathise with 314 dead people.

Of course it is, but why do you keep saying this as if I am trying to minimise that fact? When I am not. I have lost family to Covid like most people. So I know not to trivialise them.

Every death every day matters. But it was important to explain why the numbers are not quite what they seem to be today. That has nothing to do with the tragedy of any specific death. It just makes the difference between today seeming to be getting worse when in fact it is on track and getting better.

That is all.

Do as 90% of us do, just ignore her.

Please do point out where anyone has said it’s a “sin to empathise with 314 dead people”.

What irked me - and others - was a clear attempt to pick a scrap by one poster on another purely for stating a fact, and not for the first time. Or even the 100th time.

The same person a month ago was trying to guilt trip people by saying they are responsible for deaths for having Christmas dinner with their families.

I hope you also picked them up on that disgusting comment back then.

I’m all for l getting on with life but I missed Christmas dinner because a mate who I went to the Newcastle game tested positive for Covid. When I got my PCR test back negative, we treated Boxing Day like Christmas Day (around the City game that is) with family including my elderly mum. I don’t remember Christmas dinner posts on here and I’m not sure I read them. I might have though I just do t remember them.

I hardly come on here because I don’t read up on research papers / stats anymore so I don’t have much to add. That said, If it was some “hero” going to work with flu and infecting colleagues I would call them out and it’s the same with Covid.

Im afraid I didn’t recognise this attempt to pick a scrap
So I might be a bit ignorant if that or you might be a tad too sensitive.

That's a bit depressing. I'm up to day 6 now and still banging in positive results. We were meant to be going away this weekend so I had thought I'd be well clear and able to go but starting to look doubtful now.
Actually, quick question for those who have been through this daily testing and isolation thing. Does the strength of the line on the LFT fade as you go through the process or is it not that clever and it's simply a case of there on one days test and then not there the next?
