Covid
After managing to avoid it all this time without catching covid this morning tested positive. Really bad headache, annoying dry cough, high temperature and feel like ****. Very annoying since I was due to go to Lanzerotte in September and Mrs CM is on the vulnerable list.

Re: Covid
Rest up mate, it's a bugger and still very much around! My Mum's just come down with it for the third time (tested on Lateral Flow) she works in a care home where it's currently going round.
Hopefully you'll be well enough in time to go away! And hope the Mrs stays free from it.

Re: Covid
You should be good for September, sleep in different rooms and open the windows to let the air flow through and fingers crossed Mrs CM will be ok. I had it 3 weeks ago bur the other 3 in my house managed to stay healthy. Plenty of water, fresh fruit and vitamin k.Cirrus_Minor wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 5:49 pmAfter managing to avoid it all this time without catching covid this morning tested positive.

Re: Covid
I wish I were to get it now with the current version rather then that which was around in March 2021. I too “breezed” through the symptoms but the long term impact has turned me from a 90+ percentile fitness for my age into a drug-dependent old manVegas Claret wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 5:53 pmit'll pass, I'm incredibly vulnerable and I've had it twice, had far worse colds tbh.

Re: Covid
I think some of the symptoms are very similar to hayfever so unless you tested yourself you wouldn’t really know & you would just pass it off as that.
Re: Covid
I avoided it until the latest version which is more catchable. I felt rough for a few days but it affects people very differently. Nobody wearing masks and people coughing at you in supermarkets doesn’t help of course.

Re: Covid
I jest mate, but the point is, even if you mean the series wasn't made 100 years ago, it was out longer than when Covid started, so talking about Peaky Blinders in 2022 and Covid-19 in 2022 is effectively the same thing, they are both still going.ArthurShelby wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 6:48 pmI don’t get your point ?

Re: Covid
WHO are less than impressed with the downplaying of Covid the Government has been practicing this last twelve months. They have tried to issue several warnings and now believe there is every chance Britain will be among the first countries to suffer ‘super Covid,’ strains immune to current vaccinations as a result of the policy.
Re: Covid
The only two things that have ever had any effect on controlling the spread were a full lockdown and use of vaccines.elwaclaret wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 7:05 pmWHO are less than impressed with the downplaying of Covid the Government has been practicing this last twelve months.

We simply cannot afford to lockdown ever again, and using vaccines will by their nature naturally encourage resistant strains if they just so happen to mutate in such a way.
I’m not sure what the WHO suggest we do.

Re: Covid
I mean in general - some people on this forum will have covid & hayfever even a common cold without knowing if they have covid if it’s mild you don’t really bother testing no need to, you assume it is because you don’t care it only becomes an issue if you are around vulnerable people, nobody really cares anymore not like when it first broke out.

Re: Covid
Very hard to put a date on it as the historical Peaky Blinders were not a major gang when most of the action takes place. Many of the events are based on real gangland events, but very few were by ‘the Peaky blinders.’ There were far bigger organisations, in all the major cities. The first recorded from the 1840’s (I think) in Manchester/ Salford - The ‘Salford Boys,’ opened one of the first Boxing gyms to stop their kids going down the same route and is why Boxing clubs tended to be known as ‘Boys clubs’ up to recent liberal times, (when it was forgotten ‘Boys’ had nothing to do with gender).ClaretAndJew wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 6:28 pmFunny, from someone who's name is based off a character from a series that took place 100 years ago.

I predict that history will tell us lockdown was the worst government policy in living memory.
If they bring masks back l will refuse to wear one.

If the mask causes you any sort of discomfort then you are exempt. Not that I have to prove it. I just won't be wearing one. I refuse to be controlled by this useless government any longer.

To give you a very famous example, Joe Biden, who never seemed to have his mask off in public, managed to catch it twice in a week!

Just accept that everyone is different. Some people will sail through Omicron, while others will be poorly, some very poorly for quite a few weeks too. All this is based on my family, friends and colleagues.

Re: Covid
Oh, and I'm not saying bring masks back, but to state, that they don't have an impact is just silly and doesn't stack up with the mountains of evidence. Oh, and don't bother quoting because I won't respond. It's not going to change anyone's mind if they are against mask evidence.
Re: Covid
I was very poorly in May with COVID, which led to the 2nd cancellation of my shoulder replacement surgery. I was re scheduled to have the 4 hour Op in the morning. I'd a pre Op COVID test on Monday and received a call from the hospital ward earlier today, telling me, they'd been advised my COVID test was positive. I was gutted, as I've no symptoms. I've another 7 weeks before I can be considered for the Op. Hopefully now during the World Cup period.

Re: Covid
Avoided it for two years then tested positive in late April this year. Felt a bit "fluey" for two or three days but took 14 days to register a Negative test!
Ever since I wake up every morning with virtually every joint aching and feeling lethargic despite my orthopaedic mattress!
Playing havoc with my golf handicap!

Wore a mask for 2 years in shops even before they were recommended. Doesn’t really bother me if it helps. Stopped wearing one completely about 2 months ago and caught Covid. Of course they help stop the spread of the virus. They are not an excuse to stop social distancing though. Many people don’t care and will openly walk around coughing without covering their mouth. Its going to spread but there’s a good chance you won’t die from it this time around.

I am 78 in October and wear masks on buses and in shops .
Have had a total of 4 vaccinations and should be able to have a 5 th in October
I am lucky to never have had covid and am hoping to carry on with wearing masks to avoid it.
When outside it is easy to avoid people when walking even in Lincoln City Center.
I walk about 12 km a day from 8 am to 12 and never go out in afternoon unless I need to this hot weather.
