Being sequenced/discovered does not mean it originated from there. A literal case of "he who smelt it, dealt it"
The same happened to me, except I haven't tested positive which is confusing. It started with a sore throat last Wednesday, a runny nose, cough and general fatigue which I'm still feeling, plus I still have cold like symptoms.
I've been testing twice daily with LFT's.

Have we had sight of the Govt. "Living with Covid Plan"?
Have I missed it? Or is it, do nothing? Or just "boosters"?

Maybe you have a cold?
Haven't had a cold now in nearly 3 years! do not miss them.
That's lovely but the other poster seems to be suffering one.
Even this thread goes days without posts sometimes and when people do post its just to report cold-like symptoms.
Mask use has fallen off a cliff too..
It comes and goes around here - a month ago people were dropping like flies with it and mask use was tentatively coming back, now it seems to have almost vanished and likewise the masks. Right now you wouldn't know there was a pandemic around here.
Ah, don't worry, here's your next dose of doomerism:

Explains a fair bit with some people!
Severe cases of COVID causing cognitive impairment equivalent to ageing 20 years, new study finds
"It is very possible that some of these individuals will never fully recover," a Cambridge professor has warned, with around 400,000 people in the UK who may be impacted.

I think the problem with that sort of studies looking at severe cases is that cause and effect may be reversed. It's been well known since very early in the pandemic that those worst effected and dying from covid have very short telomeres in their DNA (indicative of physical decline), even young people who were dying were found to be "old" at a celluar level, so it's likely when they look at other indicators of "age" that they appear a lot older than their calendar age would suggest.Ah, don't worry, here's your next dose of doomerism:

Either that, or I've now got the brain of a 93 year old

Nobody picked up on the pfizer document dump today? People screaming on Twitter that documents prove Pfizer had only a 12% efficacy rate rather than 95%, also apparently it hadn't been tested on pregnant women either!
Are they talking all cause mortality? I could well believe it, give it a few weeks whilst proper staticians analysis, but similar analysis of the mRNA trial data seemed to indicate that the there was very little net benefit to overall mortality with the Pfizer/Moderna vaccines.

Anti-vaxxers are going to have a feild day with this, I like many was pro vaccine but if there is any truth to this....
Well, at least the trial data for AZ indicated a net positive benefit for most people, but hey ho, politics and all that *cough* Pfizer "media" funding.

What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth? About six months or in this case insert correct amount of time.
So Omicron is milder then?
AFAIK the 12% comes from the decreased efficacy for young children vs Omicron. I don't have time to go into it now but lots of wrong takes on it in Twitter and an obvious bot army pushing a message with the same key words. However the data tends to back up what I've been saying all along :s

All I can briefly find is lots of people ranting about the vaccine having never been tested on pregnant women, just rats and that it wasn't reccommended for pregnant people or breast feeders
I'd say it's odd media outlets aren't reporting on it but it's an 80,000 page drop so I guess the people who are actual journalists have to read through it all
