Coronavirus

Now people are getting it for the 3rd or 4th time, the experience really is: that might be a cold or hay fever flaring up, oh wait, its gone.
 
Sucks to be scottish

The Scottish cabinet meets later to decide whether all remaining Covid restrictions can be lifted as planned amid a backdrop of surging case numbers.

Under the government's strategic framework for managing the disease, measures such as mask wearing in shops and on public transport will cease to be a legal requirement from 21 March.

But with some data suggesting that Covid is more widespread than ever and many hospitals full, might the lifting of the final restrictions be paused?

It will be interesting to see what she does, everything is turning to brick up here and the natives are getting restless, can she afford more bad news, will that be the tipping point? With just about everywhere dropping restrictions the justification is shaky, but she does love telling people what to do so who knows.
As a populace that prides itself on being obstinate and not willing to take it from "the man" i can't believe how supine we have become, its not that long ago there would have been at least wilful disobedience or protests.
SNP have done a proper job on us.

Maybe because the English are doing it the opposite way and most jocks I have met would rather die then admit the English have got anything right, magnified when the is a tory government.

Without being cheeky i think that could be "jocks" reflecting back your attitude.
In the same we that we have the indy English hating idiots, there are English people who do look down on "jocks, paddies and Taff's".
Most of us couldn't give a fudge, and almost all English that i know have very positive attitude to scots.
I have freinds all over England, in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield, we're all different, but we're all the same.
The anti tory thing up here really does hold us back though.

I don't look down my nose at any of the jocks, the ones from Edinburgh who have an accent I can understand I don't mind at all. The Irish well I married one of them, the worst one from her family actually. The rest of the family are lovely.

As for the Welsh. Well I visited last year for the first time and loved it. Don't agree with the whole sheep snagging thing though.

Edinburghers aren't really Scottish, they're all weirdos.
 
Having had close contact with a number of people who subsequently tested positive last week I have had almost every symptom of omicron over the past seven days (starting with sore throat and headache; then sneezing and blocked nose; then a hacking cough; all with a dose of real fatigue which has lasted for over a week, and a loss of appetite. I’m a Type 1 diabetic and my blood sugars have been doing crazy things) but have not tested positive. I’ve taken LFTs each day and did a PCR at home last Sunday.

I’m never off work but have had to take a whole week - getting dressed has felt like an achievement on some days.

Maybe just an old-fashioned virus? Seems hugely coincidental, though - I was in a meeting with three people who tested positive a couple of days later, and was also in relatively close contact with a few pupils at the school I work at who have also returned positive tests.

Sure you are going deep enough on the tests?

How is your taste/smell? I think it is possible you just have a nasty flu? Glad you took the time off and rested. Smart.

Hope you feel better soon.
There is a flu type thing going around at the moment as well.

I think I had that over the weekend. Almost paralysis in the limbs, bit of a fever, came and went in just over 12 hours.

I'm not sure about Mickey though - that doesn't sound like specifically like flu (flu isn't usually nose and throat, and tends to break and then go rapidly). Maybe some other virus. Even hayfever has quite a few cross-overs with a lot of those symptoms and it's prime tree pollen season at the moment.

Cheers. Back at work and feeling better, bar the fatigue. Pretty sure it’s not covid after a second PCR came back negative.

Had to speak to my doctor online to sort out a (my first ever!) sick line. She says the flu season has been delayed this year due to the mitigations we were implementing in the winter; there’s a fair bit of it about and she thinks it was a bout of that.
