Who's even still anti-vacc??? How stupid can you be?

 

[Chief]

Considerable spread for what was previously a very rare virus. Something isn't adding up. A new mutated form that spreads more easily and is airborne? Weakened immune systems making people more susceptible to infection and showing symptoms?

Look at the HIV virus. SARS. MERS. Viruses come from somewhere. More people on the planet, moving further and faster to help spread it.

It appears most the cases have been linked back to 2 events. And sexual intercourse was involved.

If she isolates and so on you have a chance that it stops there.

4 from 4 in our house at present. I dont know whats worse, covid or putting up with a 5yo and a 3yo non stop for 7 days.

 

[faible]

putting up with a 5yo and a 3yo non stop for 7 days.

Surely this is an easy winner.

Truly feel for the parents and kids who have to isolate, especially those in townhouses etc.

Me, wife and baby were stuck in an 8th floor apartment. Fortunately there was some overlap in our isolation periods so there was only four days where we were all stuck.

 

[MrKK]

So people are concerned about one week isolation yet supported lockdowns that put millions through that situation for months at a time?

You're comparing pre and post vaccine rollout.

Also I don't recall when people were unable to leave their house for months at a time.

Meh. Finally tested positive. Not surprising given two others in house have it.

Symptoms?

 

[Billy ray]

Yeh.

I was sick sunday afternoon with a general malaise and fatigue. Then at night i Woke up sweating on two occasions and had sore throat and headache. Then by the morning at like 7am it was just sore throat and headache but I was negative on a rat. But I knew then i had it even tho test said negative.

And then last night i again had sweats and throat sorer but no headache. Tested this morning and rat positive. I feel relatively ok. Just resting on couch all day. Headaches under control with paracetamol.
Throat im just having lozenges atm. No major coughing or anything. Just every now and then I’ll have a coughing fit and then ok for hours. Really tired tho.

Is there any point to taking a test if you “know” you’ve got it? You’re sick.
Paracetamol, lozenges, lemon and honey drinks, rest. With or without a test.

You wouldn’t want to have surgery if you’re sick with anything though, would you? Anyway, hope you feel better soon .

Not a bad thing to track whether you’ve had it or not really.

I have a cold currently. Being winter, there's a fair chance it's a coronavirus of some description.

Being winter wouldnt there be a much higher chance of it being something other than Coronavirus than there was in summer?
