Don’t imagine we’ll ever see another lockdown. We don’t have the funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobyBrno Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Finally succumbed to it. Got back from Prague last Thursday. Bit of a cough on Friday, then cold/flu like symptoms. I’ve had worse but I took a test everyday and only confirmed positive on Wednesday. Lots of reports of similar symptoms. If I was a betting man, I’d say that masks will be mandatory again soon. We have to take a test before flying in a weeks time so hopefully, all will be clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you feel better soon, be thankful you have the very mild version 😊 That said, you could have covid plus a cold or flu or an.other bug, there is that much going round at the moment. I have to say, come the end of autumn it would make sense to make masks recommended in places like supermarkets where old folk are most likely to mix.

After 4 vacs and a flu jab, it may have been worse. 🤷♂️ To be honest, if it wasn’t for this forthcoming trip, I wouldn’t have bothered taking a test. I suspect many others have the symptoms but just put it down to seasonal flu which is pretty much what it has now become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Flew to Spain Sunday, was rough before I left, congested lungs all week, headache, etc, never tested but just felt rough, still lungs are congested but better as I’m taking medication, breathing not as good as it should be but just starting to improve and feel better. Hopefully couple more days chilling and the sun and I’ll be back to 100%.🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Omicron and its similar varieties are now much less deadly than flu. It was because Covid was a novel and nasty virus thatit caused so much harm at for so long. At least I think so from what I have read, I am no expert by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll get even worse out there in a few weeks time, once they start moving around for Chinese New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV bloke the other day was saying how trade flows had largely got back to normal now, with containers back where they should be etc. It's the production that is the main limiting factor now then? Just got to hope they get this wave over with and then they gradually get to a situation like the rest if us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have a cold, I have a cold. Why would I test to see if my cold is Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a RAT confirming Covid. We all have a responsibility to try and limit transmission IMO so currently isolating as best I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
