hippo Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Today I tested negative on day 6. Got off pretty lightly. Went out to clean my bike - my nose went mad reacting to the cold - thought nothing of it. All degreaser, sprays, lubricants, seem to irritate my nose - all normal allergy stuff. Got inside - bit of a headache. Bit of time on my hands - feck it lets do a test (had tested negative 2 days earlier) - wallop - came back positive - very quickly - couldn't feckin believe it.......I had a holiday booked in Lanzarote the very next day. 2 more tests and PCR confirmed it. Holiday cancelled.(ouch). Bunkered down in the bed room - drank gallons of plain water - loads of rest - kept warm by doing 10 mins spin - but no real exertion. 2 days of symptoms - just a runny nose and shivers for me. Not being Macho but I have had worse colds. Pre covid - would have gone to work + gym. It's rampant here in the black country - if this mutates into something more severe the consequences don't bear thinking about. No idea where I picked it up - didn't do anything high risk in the previous week. Take care folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Finally a day of feeling somewhat human! Rejoice! Still a little bit snotty, still a few coughs here and there and a slight headache but I’m feeling a lot better today. The good news is that my first lft after 5 days isolation was still positive so no work on Thursday. If I can still test positive tomorrow then I won’t be back in until Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Good luck if you need to go to A&E at the moment. Mother in Law was told it was a 12 hour wait to see a doctor 2 nights ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother in Law was told it was a 12 hour wait to see a doctor 2 nights ago. It’s shocking. The hospitals have joined GP surgeries in being completely broken. It’s not in news either as there’s too many scandals to handle at the moment. Covid at record levels / war in Ukraine / Brexit chaos / Ferries sacking hundreds of people / Lockdown parties / Chancellors wife dodging tax / cost of home energy / cost of fuel / cost of food / increased taxes etc etc. The collapse of the NHS barely gets a mention. Boris and his personal deliberate campaign of creating or fuelling a crisis a day is working out well for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I can’t believe the strategy that China are adopting. As soon as they dare reopen it’ll recirculate and it’ll all be for nothing. Now is the time to take it on the chin and put time and resource into those that get seriously ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've not just eaten a Yorkie bar have you?! I had a chest infection a few years back and was always amazed at the rich palette of colours I could cough up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2022 It's definitely on the retreat. For every day over the last 2 weeks the number of new cases has fallen much further as a percentage than the fall in tests reported. Following today's figures for example number of tests undertaken in the last 7 days is down 25% but new cases are down 38%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Figures all over the place and pretty much meaningless with testing no longer free of charge. But 651 deaths in a day - today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think deaths and the ONS random sample are the only meaningful stats right now. And neither look great tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And neither look great tbh. Deaths lag the current situation by 2 - 3 weeks. So the current numbers reflect the peak from a few weeks ago and they will plummet in 2 or 3 weeks from now. The ONS figures from last week suggested it was leveling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
