Yeah that's been my opinion for over a year now, bought some tests just in case, but actually getting a PCR confirmation now seems impossible, but I suspect as we head into winter that may have to change.
It’s all we’ve ever been able to do. Hopefully the new variants continue to be less intrusive on the lungs.
We've had 3 from a team of 7 come down with it in the last 7 days (all tested +ve), none of them seem connected either, as mostly worked from home, or been on leave. I work in a mixed office, where we have military, and civilian together in a not particularly good environment with low ceilings, and no natural ventilation just air conditioning, the miltary side of the office are basically being told to "not test", and not isolate.
I'm letting myself panic a little, I'm not the strongest person health wise at the best of times, live with my 6 year old son and 52 year old fella, in a small flat, where he works at home all day. And my 79 year old mum, who has copd and can also barely walk was with me at the derby :(
Think it used to be 28 days after having had Covid (28 days from symptoms ending rather than starting I think) but not sure if that's still the case
I think the advice is still wait 4 weeks after symptoms started if you are over 18, if it's a youngster it's 12 weeks from what I remember with one of my lads. Hope you're feeling better soon.
I’ve just spent some time in hospital and they’re in fucking melt down, had 2 days in A &E they found me a bed on a ward for a couple of days then shipped me off to a care home, I’ll believe my eyes more than your graphs thanks
Obviously I don't know your underlying health but (and I know it's easy for me to say) try and remember that unless you have quite specific issues the odds are very much in your favour of feeling rough for a few more days and then getting back on your feet. Also we've come such a long way in terms of our understanding of it and what to do about it since those early very frightening days. I'm one of those people who always thinks the worst is going to happen, I think it's just the way some of us are wired, but it's rare that it actually does. Hang on in there mate and best to you and yours.
That will not be because of covid but a lack of funding. Go and take it up with your MP
I was taking to the doctors instead they’re saying COVID is having a huge impact, funding etc are obviously other factors but I’m hearing this now from people on the ground, enjoy your graphs.
I thought you saw it with your own eyes? now you're saying it's 3rd party information. Which is it?
I’m in bed with a broken shoulder and broken leg I’ll leave you to it.
