nah, I agree with you on the lack of dataJobbo wrote: Thu Jan 27, 2022 10:08 pmNo, but you and Mike both seem to have said that catching Delta makes you more likely to catch Omicron. That’s not necessarily a correct interpretation of the data![]()

Re: Coronavirus
The latest victim of COVID? Aerosmith's world tour which had already been postponed a couple of times. Was looking forward to finally seeing the old geezers tearing the place up.
Cheers,

Re: Coronavirus
Not sure if I have it or not 
According to the lateral flow tests I'm negative, but can't smell or taste anything, have a cough, and a sore throat.
Done a proper test today so we shall see, when the wife and boy had it, their lateral flows were negative all the way through as well.
Very odd.

Re: Coronavirus
Pretty much everyone I know who has had it, had one or multiple lateral negative flow tests before having it confirmed by PCR.
Hopefully its a mild case resulting in a few days of being waited-on by the other half and some time off work to catchup on some tv.

Re: Coronavirus
Cheers, I hope it is positive so it's done and out of the way (for now at least), supposed to be going to Miami on the 20th with work, so I could do without that being cancelled!
Re: Coronavirus
It's a mild cold lads.
In many years time someone will point out we've all been done over. A few people will recognise that's what they said and were right.

Re: Coronavirus
I just had it, but I'm not sure which variant I had but assuming it was omicron.
Had a bit of a fever on the Saturday morning when I tested positive, then had headaches, general body aches and feeling a bit weak and tired for about 5 days. It then went into more cold like symptoms, and I had a really sore throat for the latter few days. I've still got a cough now that I can't seem to shake (negative on LFTs Monday and Tuesday).
Doing any exercise this week has been tough. I was going to the gym 5 days a week before this as well, so not exactly unfit. No idea if it would have been any worse if not having all the jabs.
I don't recommend having it.

Its still alien to me that healthy people test for a deadly thing that kills old people.

Re: Coronavirus
so despite me directly (many times) asking you what your thoughts are on this thread, only now (when omicron has become the main variant) have you decided to take a stance that covid isn't real.Broccers wrote: Fri Dec 17, 2021 10:37 amRich B wrote: Fri Dec 17, 2021 9:49 amok, so you're basically fine with:Broccers wrote: Fri Dec 17, 2021 9:20 am
Sorry for the slow reply. Properly ill in this household but its not covid according to the test Nic did.
I wear masks where required.
Vaccine
Masks
So what are we all being sheep about?
- Lockdowns? I don't think I'd observe another lockdown - though I have actually worked from home this week (mainly because we've had 2 cases in the office).
- Covid itself? It is real.
- The great reset?
- national ID cards?
- moon landings?
Let us know!
Lockdowns essentially. Glad you are on the same page. I've done my bit up to now and complied with everything dished out. I was a sheep, I am not now![]()
Re: Coronavirus
Yeah, if I wasn't already committed to that I'd have had time to start up a PPE supply business and retire at 30

See my first post starting this thread. Covid was never an issue to younger healthy people. The huge over reaction will damage more than the virus itself.
