COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Pince]

I'm still suffering quite a bit mate, not slept for six nights and temps still up and down, which is just energy sapping.

I'm 12 days in and must continue to self isolate until symptoms have gone for 48 hours.

My coughing is a lot better but the Codeine Linctus the docs recommended makes me right off and unsteady on my feet.

I feel like I have aged 20 years in two weeks but I'm 46, not 48 ;)

Thanks to everyone for their kind messages.

I have literally turned my phone off for days.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend, TH, we’ve all been worrying about you. Stay strong and look after yourself and your family.
All the best for 2021, fingers crossed things will improve .

Glad to hear from you as a lot were posting on here.

Sorry about the age thing, don't know if it was my memory or sausage finger typing that caused it.

I can empathise with the energy sapping cough and temperature, it takes over everything you do. The side effect for me was drinking a lot of fluid meant I needed (as the yanks say) the bathroom a lot, trying to get a good nights sleep is virtually impossible.

Hopefully you are at the start of the end as generally two weeks is the worst period, as a crumb of comfort after 16 days my only symptoms were fatigue at the end of a working day (quite sedentary work).

Wishing you and your family an infinitely happier 2021 than last year, same goes for everyone on here.

Take care fella, we'll get there, best wishes.

Have been reading about Iceland (relatively small population, relatively wealthy country, and with a relatively decent health care system) and how it is already cautioning its citizens that there will not be herd immunity on the island until the summer. It has the necessary orders in place, but its authorities acknowledge that there are inevitably going to be supply problems and that restrictions will be in place for some time.

I'm no fan of the govt at all. They've consistently got pretty much everything wrong in my view but deploying millions of vaccines isn't easy.

Firstly the vaccines have to be shipped to the medical centres. Maybe certain types of transport are needed and how to do load 1 million bottles onto trucks - you need space to physically hold the trucks and people. Next I assume there will be some training given, then the NHS have to call people to get them to come in. People have to accept the invitation. We also need to make sure there's the transport infrastructure in place as well as the space to keep people socially distanced. Plus what about disposing 1 million bottles, 1 million needles and the PPE?

It's not that easy.

I think the transport issue is the easy one to sort really - starting with using the military resources. If there isn't a plan to distribute that holds up, then that is a complete failure by someone.

The slow part is likely that there would be no good reason to fill all the bottles before authorisation to use, as it would render all the bottles unuseable. Also, they would need chilling too when filled, and it's much easier to keep a big tank of vaccine soup cold. Once filled, the doses need quality checking, and then the clock can start ticking on using it.

Sorry to hear you have been blighted by this virus. Hope things improve quickly now for you.

Wasting your time on these wankers, they are to think to take it in.
