COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

No idea what you are talking about now. Sorry I started your trolling off in the thread again though. Another one for the ignore list.

what do you mean?

Look around the EU a 'recovered from Covid' status it will suffice instead of a vaccination or booster status to allow entry to virtually any country especially if it was some kind of PCR test

It's not a PCR test but shows whether you have T-cells and/or antibodies.

You must have misread Uther's post as it shows a negative result for infection-induced antibodies. Even if it was positive, the notes accompanying the results say that it isn't conclusive that there has been a prior SARS-Cov-2 infection.
 
Everyone seems to have it all of a sudden - my grandad tested positive today, loads off at work, one of my colleagues was saying all their brothers and sisters and their families all have it, etc.
 

Isn't this obvious, though? The virus is surging again. Of course there are going to be more people in hospital "with" it.

The point is that it's become much more transmissible but clearly less dangerous.

Natural immunity (I'm currently topping up my own) and immunisations mean that we're in a position to "move on" to the next stage in the UK.

People are learning to get on with life and applying their own personal measures where and if they see fit. This is the natural progression.

I can't see the point of this thread other than people posting about having their 5th, 6th, 7th etc boosters getting worked up about imaginary people becoming complacent.
 
Well the data seems to shows different but I guess there will always be anecdotal evidence that disprove it. It's a moving thing either way.

Although Scotland still has restrictions their numbers are going up as well as UK. So to me it's fairly clear that restrictions aren't really needed anymore. But that's my opinion. :)
No one is following the restrictions here though. As soon as England relaxed, so did the population at large here in Scotland.

Yeah, my wife has it. Although weirdly i don't and still don't think i ever have.

As mentioned above, i think we've just hit the point where it's considerably less dangerous. I do worry about my wife long term as she already has M.E and so a very weakened immune system as it is.

My wife has had COVID for the past few days, amazed that I am still testing negative for it. Been testing once a day.

Although i think i've cursed myself, i've just been on the phone to a mate and after hanging up my throat is a little sore after having talked for a while. Unsure if it's me coming down with something or just from running in the cold last night.

I've also had achey shoulders for around a week, but again hard to know the cause, i'd assumed it's from being hunched on a flight last week (6'3 and cheap economy Easyjet doesn't mix well!) and then mixing cement at the weekend.
 
(6'3 and cheap economy Easyjet doesn't mix well!)
before covid you'd just assume it was a sore throat, or you slept funny.

easyjet seats are fine for me at 6"4, just used to sit with a knee into the aisle, but never tried a window seat.

I stopped paying for extra leg room after the first few flights

Yeah, that's all i've put it down to up till now, might do a test to be sure but not sure there's much point. Not like i've got plans until the weekend.

I'm generally in the middle and give my wife the window seat. We found a while ago that me having an aisle and her in the middle meant she felt restricted if the person on the other side of her spread out too much and with her disability she can become unwell if she doesn't have much space/air.
Sadly it also means we can't get the extra leg room as she's not allowed to sit in them. Luckily we don't fly too often and only going to Spain means it's a short flight.
