The inevitable impact of Covid19

[southendkid]

So then why were we repeatedly told by people in government and the media that getting vaccinated would protect those around us? Why did Joe Biden tell Americans last year that "You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations"? Fauci, Gates, they all said it, when they knew it wasn't true - or at least didn't have the proof to back it up.

Liz Truss the other week had to have it explained to her that the £2500 energy cap doesn't mean households can't pay more than £2500 on their bills, and it's her policy. If the scientists are saying it then it's bad, if a politician says it then it's probably because they don't understand what they're talking about.

I first tested positive last Friday and still positive today - feeling much better but still coughing a bit. Hope you are ok.

I tested positive for a week. Once i tested negative I still felt rough. Even now, I'm still using a nasal spray as I'm bunged up a lot, have a cough and still short of breath/energy at times

People have had false positives long after they are covid clear, you may be one more.

Indeed they have and lots of COVID around at the moment.
10 days is the rule of thumb.

Headache, arm ache, arse ache. Let's hope you get none of those, but paracetamol works wonders if needed.

So far none of the above (apart from arse ache, that's a given) Seems a bit strange considering most of the feedback on here. Not that I'm complaining.

Anyone on here used the drop in covid jab centre at the civic centre? Are appointments the only way or can walk ups get jabbed?

I think for boosters it is booked appointments but can easily check in the morning for you

Thanks @Tinks,.
I was told some " funny" stories by a helper down there.
Man walked in just before Christmas, stated he was anti vac, but would get it done as he was going clubbing that night and needed proof of jab to get admitted, he didn't have a scooby about the vaccine but was self declared anti!
And a woman walked in for jab, and booster, at same time as she had holiday for following week in USA booked and needed proof of jabs, another anti, she was most put out when told the impossibility of that happening!
No cure for stupid yet.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Booked for Thursday, then flu jab Friday!
Oops hopefully 100% for Saturday and The BIG match.

I've heard nothing about my booster @Tinks Is this something we have to book ourselves without being prompted by the usual text eg?

I have had a few of these - especially with the younger ones who only had the vaccine so they could go on holiday
