    Covid - Summer of 24

    Going by the examples on site, it looks like not too many people are taking it seriously but a lot of those infected have had/are having a bad time of it.
    I'm pretty sure my wife and I had it. And our daughter. Probably infected from her pupils at the school where she teachers. Not many symptoms but suddenly very fatigued for about a week.

      Hmm... The weather's turned nice and the Tories are heading for a big election loss.


      Time for a national lock-down to protect the public. Better suspend the voting too as it would put too much pressure on the NHS.

        I felt fine out on a walk Friday, within an hour I was repeatedly vomiting clear liquid, very dizzy and sweating. Went straight to A&E, first class service no waiting, put on a drip and they ran blood tests and a covid test.

        I am fully vaccinated hence I was shocked the covid test came back positive.

          It's not going away any time soon. Like flu it will keep popping up in various iterations. Just something else to live with.
          Blog? What blog...?

            Vaccination won't prevent you from catching Covid - it's only supposed to help prevent it from killing you - as is clearly documented.

              You really shouldn't have drunk that half-pint of knock-off vodka before setting out.

                It's to help reduce the severity of the symptoms - therefore reducing deaths, hospitalisations, feeling unwell and a tad under the weather, can't really put my finger on it.

                  Aye. Once the Chinese have done their gain of function thing on their nice new Ebola-lite virus it'll probably kill us all.

                  I caught some variety of the Chinese plague back in January with a curious set of symptoms.

                  It either returned or I caught another less vile version in March/April.

                  And at the beginning of June I went down with yet another version with a particularly unpleasant cough.
                  When the fun stops, STOP.

                    Teachering is a risky occupation
