Edit - I think these day's, Anti-Vax just means Anti Covid Vaccinations, not in general , all vaccinations etc

Also, someone needs to have a word with Trudeau, he's losing the plot..

At least you've made a sensible backtrack on this.

There's the rub. Anti THIS Vax isn't the same thing, and that's my point.

Really ???

I was contacted by test and trace (off the back of my Passenger Locator Form) due to a close contact on the plane back from Germany and was told to just LFT for a week. No Isolation needed unless I started to develop symptoms.

The GP has basically left me in the hands of the Chesterfield based Long Covid clinic. GP is updated every month with whats going on and then sorts my limited hours sick note. I've had blood tests , chest xrays, heart traces and oxygen levels taken so far - all passed over to LC clinic. They have now assessed me and are requesting I'm passed over to Respiratory clinic for further investigation.

I'll give that article a read thanks GG _ much appreciated. I struggle to retain info though which is strange. I concentrate and pay attention but cannot keep new info in my head. But ask me about my late Dads numberplate from 1985 and it's there ( B979CWF) Random. Although I wonder if this because of the low oxygen levels I record ?

Theres no backtracking dude. At this current moment covid isnt serious. On the skiing group chat one of the lads has now been contacted by test and trace and told to isolate for 10 days. Thats the issue here - utter shite like that for nothing more than a cold. No wonder people are holding off travelling.

When I previously talked about previous strains being nasty, you called them "hyped up propaganda".

Thought i'd give an update as I know you're all losing sleep
Yesterday, 13 months since I caught that Covid thing I got discharged from hospital. After having lots of tests / MRi scans / lung function tests and finally heart scans the chest clinic have said I'm free to go. Pretty much "normal" life now, not been breathless for a good while so Long Covid appears to be over. ( Well apart from the unknown heart issues they've now discovered ! ) The chest clinic doctor thinks that it may have been a combination of factors that made Covid attack my body the way it did. Being generally run down from working long hours for weeks I had developed a slight cold ( this may have been the 1st warning sign of Covid attacking me, he wasn't sure ), then after that it went through my body attacking those areas that had been weakened previously. It's fascinating how it had attacked some areas and not others.
As I've said before I'm one of the lucky ones I guess. Previously fit and healthy ( no marathon runner but 25k steps a day in the Peak District fresh air is pretty healthy) and yet out of all the family it attacked me the most. It's left very little scaring on my body and from what we can see I'm over it.

One of my best mates was super fit and was training for ultra-marathons etc.. caught covid, was ill for just one day, then has barely been able to run since and had to get an inhaler because his childhood asthma came back.

davecG60 wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 2:19 pm Cheers for the replies folks, I'm glad to be over it. Hopefully the heart issue is nothing serious as I'm now stranded in front of the TV with plantar fasciitis ( basically foots buggered after 25 k steps a day for 16 years !)

Ah well, never rains .............
