I actually had to double take when I seen the supermarket post, hang on, didn't he just say he tested positive?Sounds like he’s being a selfish twat. Which is not a huge surprise.

I mean, if someone’s stuck they’re stuck. Not everyone has the support network to get them through proper isolation. But doing it because “if nobody else follows the rules, I won’t either”…I actually had to double take when I seen the supermarket post, hang on, didn't he just say he tested positive?
Zero surprises that you don’t have anyone to help you out.I went to the supermarket earlier with a face mask on. I'm not going to be the only person adhering to guidelines. feck em
As someone who has spent a week indoors with two teenagers and 9 month old dog, I can assure had you followed the guidelines you wouldn't have been the only one.I went to the supermarket earlier with a face mask on. I'm not going to be the only person adhering to guidelines. feck em
How are you feeling? I had two days where I felt like it was in a car crash.Yay, it's finally my turn. Avoided it for the entire pandemic. Left my freelancing to start a new job and within 2 weeks got it.
Extremely fatigued, achy all over. Bit grisly in my chest and nose and feel like I'm constantly on a the cusp of a fever that doesn't progress. I'm also craving salt and vinegar crisps and peanut butter on toast( separately ).How are you feeling? I had two days where I felt like it was in a car crash.
Why not?I'm not going to be the only person adhering to guidelines.
Huh? A third shot of anything seems to give a much better protection from Omicron than just 2 shots. There is some reduction in infectiousness and a big reduction in disease severity.What are we boosting against? Boosting a vaccine not built for latest variant, pointless
Its 7 months since I had my 3rd shot, covid has put me on my back for a week, rarely have I felt so dreadful in my entire life and this is the mild version. I really wonder how well we are all protected having had the booster so long ago. I wonder how different it would have been had I not been vaccinated at all. I really am surprised at how bad I felt and still need to sleep during the day.Huh? A third shot of anything seems to give a much better protection from Omicron than just 2 shots.

Surely you only need to see the death rates for proof of the effectiveness of the vaccines? You don’t think it’s likely that catching it without three shots would have been even worse for you?Its 7 months since I had my 3rd shot, covid has put me on my back for a week, rarely have I felt so dreadful in my entire life and this is the mild version.

You have mild covid, by definition. You don’t need oxygen, you’re not in hospital. The main reason to vaccinate/boost is to stop people getting severe covid. You’re an example of someone who didn’t get severe covid.Its 7 months since I had my 3rd shot, covid has put me on my back for a week, rarely have I felt so dreadful in my entire life and this is the mild version.

His point is, he knows it’s mild and he wonders how bad it much worse it would have been had he not received all his shots.You have mild covid, by definition.

That’s not his point at all. He’s trying to argue that because he’s feeling so poorly his vaccine booster didn’t work.His point is, he knows it’s mild and he wonders how bad it much worse it would have been had he not received all his shots.
I could be wrong but I think you’re reading it from another angle. He’s always been pro vaxThat’s not his point at all. He’s trying to argue that because he’s feeling so poorly his vaccine booster didn’t work.
Figures are not published as headline news anymore but I have read they are increasing dramatically. I can't say what level of protection I have after all this time. My Mrs is a nurse and was boosttered months before me, she is also in bad shape.Surely you only need to see the death rates for proof of the effectiveness of the vaccines?

Ok but this variant should be milder right? I cannot compare my symptoms to a non vaccinated person obviously as I don't know anyone that hasn't been vaccinated and subsequently caught it.You have mild covid, by definition.

And that’s why we’re managing to ride out this wave with no masks or social distancing without filling up our ICUs.Ok but this variant should be milder right?

As it is a while since your booster you probably wouldn't have a significant number of antibodies but your memory cells will have kicked in to start producing them much faster. So you will likely get protection from serious symptoms (hospitalise/ICU) but it is probable that you will still have a period of not feeling well until the memory cells do their work. 3 does seem to give far better protection against Omicron than 2 with 80% protection against severe disease. Hopefully this will get better of we get Omicron tweaked versions of vaccines for boosters.Its 7 months since I had my 3rd shot, covid has put me on my back for a week, rarely have I felt so dreadful in my entire life and this is the mild version.

https://www.northernbeachesclinical...1MBeCtShTjxdIeSGpmzT819RKX89qBiw5RrykAVPSab4AI was contacted to take part in a trial of an unnamed protein based covid vaccine (Novovax is a protein based vaccine I brlieve) that has been adapted for omicron. The study wants to look at how the new vaccine works with people who have already had 2 or 3 shots of an mRNA vaccine. I couldn't take part as my first two were AZ. Interesting though.
Don't know where he lives but Poland has no isolation anymore. If you somehow test positive for any reason (getting tested is not advised), nothing happens.Do you not have to isolate in your country anymore?
He said that the measures, such as the lockdown, brought in over a pandemic he did not believe existed had fundamentally and impermissibly breach fundamental constitutional rights that he and other citizens enjoy.
They should be put in stocks and have covid patients cough in their facesMs O’Doherty had argued that the measures were taken over a virus that was “no different to the common cold”.
Where do I sign up to do the coughing?Meanwhile in ireland

I’d imagine there will be a lengthy queueWhere do I sign up to do the coughing?
There's no specific tests as long covid is something that is a headline for a lot of symptoms but some of them can be checked. I had lung issues caused by covid which persisted for a fair while (over a year) and could be seen on scans I had. The diagnosis was specific to the problem, but goes under the banner of long covid as it was initially caused by the virus.What kind of tests can they do to see if you have long covid? Me and my wife are both healthy and active people but since we had covid in December we are more susceptible to colds / feel drained far more regularly than we usually would from exercise and activities. It feels like my body is constantly aching in one way or another.
