Admittedly not many but strange seeing it on social media as soon as there is a wee jump. Haven’t seen a single person saying that. Funny how people are taking precautions over a couple of hot days but can’t take any simple steps to reduce the Covid risk though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 https://www.currentaffairs.org/2022/08/why-the-chair-of-the-lancets-covid-19-commission-thinks-the-us-government-is-preventing-a-real-investigation-into-the-pandemic “I chaired the commission for the Lancet for two years on COVID. I’m pretty convinced it came out of U.S. lab biotechnology, not out of nature, just to mention. After two years of intensive work on this. So it’s a blunder in my view of biotech, not an accident of a natural spillover. We don’t know for sure, I should be absolutely clear. But there’s enough evidence that it should be looked into. And it’s not being investigated, not in the United States, not anywhere. And I think for real reasons that they don’t want to look underneath the rug, the statement.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Dont know about anyone else but last Sunday my young cousin came round and brought her 2 year old girl Isla Isla hadnt been well for about 3 weeks before this but was "much better" On Tuesday morning i knew something wasnt quite right but tried to ignore it Come Tuesday night i was absolutely fucked - shivers, headache, sharp intakes of breath and painless exhales - all night and right through to the next day So tired all i wanted was to sleep but as soon as i hit the pillow my mind started racing and REM sleep was impossible - does anybody know how brutal that is ? I have been the very same every night since then and i stink even after coming out the shower I have never been as unwell for such a long time - tested negative 3 times Was actually hoping it was Covid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I've just got it for the first time after my hospital check up in Thurs. I've been out and worked throughout the whole thing and been totally fine, raging that it's come from a check up at the hosp, although not surprised. Wonder if having been stuck in for 7 weeks with my injury if my immunity has dropped a bit too, just a theory. Anyway, sickness, the runs, shivering but sweating and the sore throat and cough. Had a really rough 24/36 hours and now just a bit shivery and tired with the throat and cough. .some laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 3rd birthday for my niece the other week, most folk ended up getting Covid. I never but i've had it a couple of times. Worst symptoms were those you state above and that was my dad who's in late 60s. All fully vaxxed. Seems to be the norm with anyone i've heard having it in last few months and that certainly wasn't the case last year. Hopefully that's the case going into the winter.

Yeah wouldn't even say it's as bad as the flu, usually with the flu I'm totally bed ridden at its worse. I'm not feeling amazing but still moving about a bit at least. Just annoyed ive avoided it so long and got hit with it from a hospital appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Yeah anyone who has read the trial literally 2 years ago knows this. It was tested against symptomatic infection not neutralising infection. I think I've got a half dozen posts over the last 2 years in this thread making the same point.

phart Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 In fact we were having the same discussion on 25th October last year about this on the vaccine passport thread. Now I have no idea what politicians etc were saying but all the scientists in the field who I listened to informed me about it not being tested for neutralising infection, so it's only a surprise to the ill-informed. Or those pandering to a demographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Had my 2nd booster yesterday, the latest double action Pfizer one, along with a flu jab. Asked for them both in the same arm and that looks like a good move as I've only got one sore arm. Feel a bit shit but was feeling fairly shit before i got the jags anyway. That's me immortal for the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's me immortal for the next few months. I had my second booster last week (the Pfizer one as well). Felt really shitty the day after, especially if I started to try and move around; felt fine by the day after that other than a bit of fatigue. Yet to have the flu jag, as I went to a Covid walk-in centre to have the booster and they weren't doing them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Moderna bivalent for me and also the Quadrivalent flu vaccine. I'm sure they normally have it set for the most common strains can't recall if it's ever been explicitly called that on the leaflet though. Maybe cause I've seen bivalent for covid it's suddenly made me look at the flu one more closely.

Maybe cause I've seen bivalent for covid it's suddenly made me look at the flu one more closely. Baader-Meinhof style It varies from year to year based on what has been circulating in other parts of the world. I think it's been mostly trivalent in recent years but it's a while since I've paid much attention to it. Flu viruses are classified into 3 broad groups A, B and C. It's usually the A and B classes that cause severe disease. There has been a wee bit of concern about a Novel A flu virus passed from pigs to humans in the US this year, but we won't be getting vaccinated for that one yet.

kumnio Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Several Asian countries are restricting entry to Chinese, looks like Yanks will be doing the same. The UK will most likely do fuck all. Wonder how many hundreds of thousands have died over the last few weeks in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
