foreveryoung Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Since this virus it's made me think, how many viruses are there. Like you may feel rough 1 day but just think it's a bit of fatigue, when really you might have some sort of virus. I guess if this virus didn't kill 1000's and just had very mild symptoms, it possibly wouldn't really be known about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Viruses are good to a degree . They have built up the immune system for centuries. When the common cold first struck many years ago I’d imagine it made people very ill . Fast forward to now and it’s nothing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will also be outliers in that, but if you are between 20-60 and have been double jabbed, then you're probably going to be ok. You may get it, but it might just be like a bad cold/flu. I'll be honest, I'm not massively concerned by it at all now. About a month's worth of collected data now for Ontario, for anybody curious on vaxxed vs unvaxxed vs partially vaxxed numbers. I noticed people mentioned a few pages back that they didn't have such numbers for the UK. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Covid passports required in Wales from 11th October for indoor events of 500 plus people and outdoor events of 4000 plus people. Barry Town games thought to be unaffected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My children have 2 weeks off in October, the first of the 2 being the less common week among other schools. We’re due to go away that week, hopefully firebreak is the week after 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed people mentioned a few pages back that they didn't have such numbers for the UK. Also to put this graph into perspective, someone on Reddit crunched the numbers (unvaxxed vs fully vaxxed): Quote Based on running average (since Aug 10): 85.0% or 6.7x less likely to get Covid-19 90.5% or 10.5x less likely to be hospitalized 96.0% or 25.0x less likely to be ICU’d I think the vaccine has been a resounding success so far, especially considering we've been dealing with the much tougher Delta variant for the past couple of months (99% of cases yesterday were the Delta variant for example). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are the last 2 weeks but the last week is the main one. It means we get some bargains. They used for have 2 in Feb also which was great but they’ve gone back to 1 now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 My 9 year old lad has tested positive. Caught from school, as they have 12 confirmed cases in his year group. Confirmed cases started last week and just kept climbing. He’s now scared and thinks he’s done something wrong. Can’t believe his year group and school are carrying on as normal? My 6 year old daughter now has a cough so I am taking her for a test this morning. Not nice seeing both kids upset/crying. We’ve been very fortunate as a family avoiding any COVID issues at all, but now this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were only mildly poorly for 1 day then absolutely fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
