At least the rise in hospital numbers got me a bed in a Bupa care home, might as well look on the bright side :-)The above are the only meaningful figures worth watching nowadays.
So unless told not to do I will post them every Thursday until this wave is cleary over or this thread disappears again.
But whilst it is here it is worth a weekly one off status report on where we are heading. To give context to your thoughts,
Anyone else struggle with concentration after having it? I'm constantly losing my chain of thought, not remembering things, not finishing jobs then starting another one. I've been like this since I had it 2 months ago. I'm physically fine but feel like my brains gone to mush. I probably have the mental capacity, especially when tired of Maguire.
Even so, what's the reinfection rate for the various variants?
A play date will be expected of me within a week of being better, and i know that family mix with everyone, and it has always worried me so i'd never been yet lo and behold i test positive within 7 days of the first time i'd been at theirs!
I'm on day 9 of positive tests now, i've past the shivers and fever, but my throats still a cheese grater and i can#t stop coughing (and that taste of sick in my mouth..)
Yep, me too.Anyone else struggle with concentration after having it? I'm constantly losing my chain of thought, not remembering things, not finishing jobs then starting another one.

The vaccine doesn’t stop you getting it.Just back off a cruise and two of our party came back then tested positive for Covid.. the first with symptoms while we were away coughed all over us for the last three days of the trip and now, 7 days after we left them we’re still clear so either the vaccine works or we got lucky

Especially with the current variants doing the rounds.
Not tested but got all the symptoms, feel rough as a badger
theres a lot of it going about . Chesty cough and cold which sits heavy on the chest so affects sleep so will be tired. coughing up chesty Flem.
we have all had it ,in our house we all tested negative
Wife just had it, tested positive for over a week. I had exactly the same in terms of the symptoms etc though never tested positive. The experts opinion is that if a bodies immune system can get to work soon enough and suppress the viral load, a lateral flow test will show as negative - I tried two different types of test over the course of the the week along side the missus tests, hers going positive in a matter of seconds, mine staying negative.Had a stonking headache since Sunday, that only solpadine will shift and even then for 3 hours max, along with sore throat, watery eyes, slight cough and runny nose.
Tested and not covid surprisingly, so still not had it to my knowledge. Tis the season for many a virus though, at least if it sees me off I won't have to worry about the energy bill.
In other news my employer has not officially cancelled the annual flu vouchers in a cost cutting exercise, but is severely dragging their heels to ensure that we won't get them this side of Christmas in the hope we'll get fed up and book the jab ourselves independently, or make use of flexible working to log on from home whilst ill.
