does everyone have covid at the moment?

I know of 18 people who have it currently, which is probably the highest tally i've ever had in my circle.  need our easter hols firebreak.  

 

maybe a cheeky lockdown?

I don’t know anyone. Why don’t you just have your own lockdown? Why do you think it will help your poor immune system to try and impose one on everyone else? 

I know one person with it (who's seriously asthmatic so susceptible to it and on her fourth dose) and one who's had it recently but it only lasted three days.  I was actually thinking just yesterday that I barely know anyone with it currently.  Jelly's friends are obviously just weak and dirty.

My mother caught it in hospital, passed it to my father who passed it to Mr G and me. I have just about got rid of it. It was second time Mr G and I have caught it and the first time for my parents.

neighbour is A&E doc and said this time (time 3) was by far the worst she's had.  Someone here who travels a LOT has it for 5th time.  His son (second time) is wiped out by it.

Some facts and stats.  Carry on Covid!  Or do  something about it! Test, try not to infect others, insist on ventilation for your kids' schools, wear a mask in hospitals and on public transport.  Canada is now describing Covid as a mass disabling event.   It's a largely preventable disease but the government doesn't care if you become disabled.

1. Around 1,000 admissions to hospital every day (so that's not helping get cancer treated, or hip ops)

2.165 children in the UK have died with Covid (but heh it's only old people who would have died anyway)

3. Up to 2 million with Long Covid, some of whom are seriously affected. So not just dying but living and suffering when they didn't have to The Research — Long Covid Learning  - take a look at https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2023-03-26/my-world-came-crashing-dow…    - SHE, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE NO UNDERLYING CONDITION

4. Nearly 500 deaths a week with Covid on the death certificate

5. ONS survey disbanded - so hard to find accurate rates of infection.

6. NHS stats on numbers in hospital, by age etc  on https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths

Are you not just a bit concerned that a primary location of transmission is hospitals?  Why no infection control in hospitals? Shocking.

Superb that I'm being blamed somehow for having colleagues, friends and neighbours who have COVID currently. It's now become a disease that only dirty people get. Really hard of thinking out today. Love to see it. 

Mine came from someone who caught it visiting a hospital. 

The problem with hospitals is that they have to let just about anyone in. You can't do infection control on people waive never taught to cough or sneeze into a tissue or how to wash their hands etc.

Suspect it will be in Kent by the end of the week. This wave hit just in time for students travelling all over the country for Easter hols to spread it evey where.

Of course I'm concerned about it, along with the hospital acquired full thickness bedsore and the two chest infections.

I'm so sorry to hear this.  Most of this was preventable inc bed sores.  Prevention is the first role of public health and should be the first role in hospitals.  It's unbelievablly shocking.  It's not difficult to put portable HEPA ventilators in hospitals wards. Guess, there's no money for it but the cost of one night in hospital is more or half of one HEPA filter (depending on whch one you get); so IMHO it is affordable.

Family all had it, nearly everyone at work had it since Jan, or has it now.

Nobody, and I mean not one of them, give a single solitary fūck. It's a cold. Most have been jabbed to the eyeballs, and life goes on. 

Immune system fatigue. As reported e.g. here.

Barry, m0, the article you linked to doesn't "report" fatigue as a fact in the way you suggest. It discusses it as a potential concern.

 

"The idea of vaccinating every four months or even more than that is novel, It is something that you haven't seen with other types of viruses   And the idea of T cell exhaustion is a reason why you might pause" 

Yes these are right wing conspiracy theories from anti-vaccers.  

The sooner it’s given the same status as flu, the better. Jab for it, research the strains and after effects properly. Move on. Just never trust the government to do anything remotely sensible or necessary, but you should know that already. 

Not sure I would put my health in your hands Eeyore hth.  My understanding is this is more than a theory and is something health professionals and scientists have taken into account for many years when administering vaccines. 

No. People test for Covid because they are at more risk, or know others who are at more risk, and to avoid hospitalisation, Long Covid or death.

NICE now estimate that there are 1.2 million people in the UK who need to do so; when you've had Covid umpteen times, you are likely to end up more at risk from it and long term consequences such as autoimmune diseases, and as someone who has one of those, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

It is largely preventable for the people who need to worry about it.

They just need to lock themselves away from society, never go out, never meet anyone ever. Wash their post and online shopping. Scream into the lonely darkness about how fūcking selfish children are for going to school and how fūcking selfish everyone else is for doing things like going to work and having a walk and stuff.

I had a sniffle a few weeks back. Could have been a bug picked up from school but it could be because of the 4 jabs. 

Never had a runny nose before covid jabs.

Facts.
