Jonesy7211 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Had the Pfizer booster yesterday. Feel so much worse today than I did after having the two AZ jabs earlier in the year. Glad it's done though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 A few ‘firsts’ today. Taking the train, watching the football in a pub with old mates, going to a live game after with no capacity restrictions. Rain is absolutely p*ssing down, and if the Villa lose today without a fight, a very urgent sense of pre-covid normalcy will surely hit me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you 6 months after the last jab? That's what they said but that would be 1st December for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Anyone else had a situation where household all have covid but you have avoided it? My 15 year old daughter tested positive on Tuesday and up until that point me and my wife had been interacting with her as normal. Both me and my wife had some symptoms so had PCR tests on Wednesday both negative. Been taking lat flows since and my wife has tested positive today (done 3 lat flow tests) and has just been and had a PCR test. She has symptoms though so is almost certainly positive. I felt under the weather 3 or 4 days ago but feel okay now and am still testing negative (lat flows). Have been interacting with my wife as normal last few days. What are the chances of me not getting it? Edited October 3, 2021 by markavfc40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is, her second jab was back in February, so it’s actually just days over 8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still didn’t catch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think the tests are quite unreliable - having had a similar experience to what you outline - I'd say if you had similar symptoms to family members, at or near the same time, then you'd had it too in some shape or form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt fatigued Tuesday/Wednesday then been pretty much fine since. Daughter tested positive Wednesday so I had my PCR Wednesday and got result late Thursday. Been doing lat flows every day since Tuesday. My wife was feeling a bit rough Tuesday/Wednesday then fine (like me negative lat flows and PCR) but started feeling really ill late Friday and has tested positive today (3 lat flows) and is awaiting result of PCR she took this afternoon. If I have had it then I only had pretty mild symptoms for 2 days and have had about 6 negative lat flows and a negative PCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Can anyone recommend day 2 PCR test suppliers please? The government have said they will be scrapping them “before the end of October” but not the exact date (they’re good like that). Were coming back on the 22nd so possibly before changes come into effect. I’ll wait as long as I can before ordering but wondered if anyone could recommend a cheap supplier of this pointless test?

I went with Expresstest when arriving back from Gibraltar. They have a drive-thru at Birmingham Airport or you can get the test kits sent to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used expert medicals mate a few weeks ago when we came back from Corfu. £28 each inc postage. Ordered a few days before we came home (just to make sure rules hadn't changed/no longer needed) received code needed to put on PLF form straight away, tests were waiting when we got home. Did tests and had results back within 3-4 days. Edited October 4, 2021 by markavfc40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
