There's a lot of issues as to why, but hospitals have been a state for awhile. An absolute myth that things were just business as normal. I've said multiple times, but anyone who has been to A&E or required an ambulance in recent months would know the state the NHS has been in. Now is not the time to get ill. I work for a hospital. And yes I would agree you're prognosis. My point was that around a week ago a large hospital trust reported no growth in covid admissions. A further point though waiting to see such a rise may be to late. A % of this week's infections will be admissions and deaths come late Jan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far just feels like a cold. Was working out the other day and was struggling to breathe properly and thought “oh here we go”, got tested and sure enough. Breathing is ok now when resting just got a runny nose, a cough and just cannot clear my chest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like one person brought it in with them but didn’t test positive until the 7th day they were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robtaylor200 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) So I have joined the Covid club this morning, positive on lateral flow, just been to the local PCR drive in (wow feel like a leper, but understand the staff have to protect themselves) So far no lack of taste or smell, no temp, just blocked nose, sinus and normal heavy cold symptoms. Need a good win to cheer me up Edited January 3, 2022 by Robtaylor200 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a good win to cheer me up Kind of how I feel. Woke up this morning just feeling really exhausted. Slept for well over 8 hours and could easily do another 3, but need to watch the Villa game (9am my time). Just feel really fatigued now. Wouldn’t recommend this to a friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonesy7211 Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 One of my best and oldest friends, tested positive on boxing day. Since the 28th he's been in ICU and on a ventilator being helped to breathe as his lungs aren't doing their job. He's 40, no underlying conditions. Double jabbed. This new variant is still dangerous. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
