Genie Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I had a good run but it finally got me. Just landed back and had a cold since yesterday. Really didn’t think it was covid as no sore throat as other have mentioned. Just feel really tired. Hopefully it gets no worse and the vaccines are keeping the symptoms mild. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just got me for first time too. Felt more and more crap as day went on Thursday, so thought I should test. Feeling a bit better today. Head is a bit fuzzy but not sure if that's the humidity. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I feel awful having travelled home but there really isn’t anything else to do. I 100% didn’t think covid as I just had a blocked nose and tiredness. No cough or sore throat, no loss of smell or taste. The rest of the family are clear for now. They all had it last summer and I managed to escape it. Hopefully they have some immunity from having it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Last Sunday I did a test and it was immediately positive, like a light switch. All week i’ve had the cold/flu type symptoms. Did a test this morning and it’s negative, however i’m still feeling a bit like I have a cold. Is that normal for the lateral flow to go negative when some symptoms still remain?

That was my expectation, the positive tests would hang around for a bit. It’s been a week since I first felt like I wasn’t 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was certainly my experience. Lat flow was positive for five days, symptoms for at least two weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woman at work tested negative 2 days after her negative test but was in bed for the rest of the week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted August 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2022 Langya: New virus infects 35 people in eastern China Scientists are tracking a new, animal-derived virus in eastern China that has infected at least several dozen people. The novel Langya henipavirus (LayV) was found in 35 patients in the Shandong and Henan provinces. Many had symptoms such as fever, fatigue and a cough. They are thought to have contracted the virus from animals. There is no evidence so far LayV can transmit among humans. BBC News Didn't they initially think COVID couldn't possibly be transmitting human to human? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2022 I think these kind of stories are the kind of thing we used to see all the time and pay no attention to. Covid has just put everyone on edge and made this stuff more newsworthy. A virus effecting the world like Covid did is a once in a lifetime (if that) occurrence so I imagine the chances of another one coming along so soon is pretty low. Obviously I have zero scientific basis for this assumption 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 At this stage in world history, I’m kind of reliant on the facts as set out in the film World War Z, where the only safe place to land the last plane was Cardiff Airport. I could walk there in about 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn’t need to factor in surviving a plane crash into your plan to save the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 It’s ironic really that a seriously significant virus that wipes out, say 30-40% of the worlds population is the only thing that can probably save the species and planet from mass extinction, go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
