Remember when you were convinced that new variants would be used to justify new lockdown measures forever and ever? Whatever happened to that?
I use a co-working space in Portsmouth and messaged folks on a WhatsApp group we have to let them know that I had it but was coming in yesterday. Just out of respect.well the plan should be common sense and no action

It was maybe quieter than I expected (but could be for a number of reasons tbf) but there were a few in who weren't bothered.
I said to them that I'm getting on with things and treating it like a cold (which in effect, is what it feels like). That said, I feel a bit more sluggish today so am working from home as both kids are in nursery.
Agreed.This is how people should be with it i feel. Probably dead on how youire approaching it
People either just like to catastrophise or be 'scared' by what is now a bad cold
Agreed.
I've told people out of respect. I've got one friend in there who's going to Victorious this weekend so didn't want to be ill. I guess it would be the same with a cold - wouldn't want to get it before a festival at the weekend.
Kids gone to nursery, wife still working and generally just getting on with it.
The problem is for those who can’t work from home, you either go in ill or lose wages.Thing is a lot of the general population are thick and dont think that way.
It will either be 'fuck it I'm not gonna say anything and carry on as normal into the office etc' or the other end of the scale of 'oh noooo im gonna die going to have to lock myself in my room and isolate for 2 weeks'
To be fair they impact the health service so from that point of view the reporting is important but not sure it's that useful for the general publicIts literally endemic now. Like Norovirus, Flu, Cold etc. its here to stay will never go away and people should just crack on as per normal like we have for the last 2 years or so.
If you feel ropey don't go near anyone. Why they still feel the need to report 'peaks' etc is beyond me

It’s almost like the media aren’t actually capable of browbeating the government into new lockdowns like you used to bang on about!I didn't say forever and ever did I? I said they would be used to justify it which they were the first time.
Thankfully since then it's been more realistic (despite the clickbait scare stories you lot in the media seem to love).
I had it for the 4th time the other week. Felt pretty rough to be fair. Only tested when I went to pick my lad up from school as his mum was worried about it as they were about to go abroad. Assumed I didn’t have it but I did.

It's weird some people just seem to be more susceptible to it, it's always been the case from the start. People who were exposed to it didn't get it. Not sure what the explanation is if anyYour immune system is proper League 2 aint it

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten my strength 100% back, it’s been over a year since I first caught it. Not so bad it’s stopping me do anything just certain things I was doing on a daily basis at work without breaking a sweat before I had it now seem to take a lot more effort.A mate of mine’s wife caught it back in March 2020 and is still debilitated by it and can’t even walk for more than a minute or two…she’s only mid-30s as well.
I view the Covid boosters the same way you see the flu jab - would much rather get one of those when it’s available than take my chances with Covid, even if my last two cases have been pretty mild.Its no more jabs for me
I had the original 2, Feb 2021 and May 2021. This booster malarky ive never done. Dont want too. Had Covid, just felt a bit more tired and tomato sauce tasted like eating metal.
Flu jab I get annually though no problem, I've had Flu before and my lord its horrible, don't want to get that again
They are good on no action when it suits them..... much less so on common sense..... hence the need for the Covid Inquiry and learning from mistakes!well the plan should be common sense and no action
It’s mad because I was never ill before this bollocks.
Wasn’t there some sort of ethnicity link with it or something?
Agreed.

That lasted well, didn't it? Thanks to @Sky Blue Pete for laughing at that, 3 1/2 years late!! No-one would believe i'm a biosafety specialist, would they?!Short answer ... no.
Next!
Enjoy...I love it but haven't been for a few years because of the nippers. Lots of friends going though!On a totally different note,I’m also off to Victorious to see Jamiroquai Friday
