Covid again! Anyone else?
« on: July 31, 2023, 12:48:50 PM »

We both tested positive for COVID again this morning. Just wondered how many others on here have got it? I still test twice a week as we socialise in our local pubs and also music venues plus I visit a neighbour in a care home so it seems a sensible thing to do. I realise that we don't have to test anymore.

My friend's daughter has tested positive 8 times since the outset of this disease.  Most times she has felt very ill.

Obviously there are carriers out there for all Germs/Bugs, with this we are more aware of who to protect.  How do U both feel?

Thanks CLKD. I feel like a flu type cold the same as last time and OH has no symptoms. Last time it took ages before I felt better including a trip to A&E so fingers crossed this time

Oh Taz so sorry to hear you have Covid again! I have not tested since my husband and I had it a year ago (for the first and so far only time) but also fortunately haven't been ill since then, and in fact haven't given it a thought. Probably there will be many more people who have it then know they have it now, because most do not test I don't think. Well done for doing so!

I do hope you don't suffer this time and get better soon :)

Thank you friends. My temperature is slowly climbing so that means the invaders have been recognised and the soldiers have been unleashed  :valkyrie:

I hope they soon recover. Do they know where they got it?

DIL has recently returned from Brazil, we think that's where she got it. But have heard that COVID is on the rise again and people not reporting it this time.

There is no way of reporting it as that service was closed down. The advice is still to test before events such as theatre or music and to say away from people for five days following a positive result. Since we now have to pay for tests many people dont bother. Where my OH works nobody on the shop floor gets paid for sick leave so nobody tests and they just work on through it.  The Zoe app is still live though.

There is a new Omicron strain I believe. Cases have been rising over the past few weeks.

These viruses mutate which means that people will continue to get caught out.  Don't know what the answer is  :-\

Hope you get well soon, hopefully the previous vaccines plus immunity from when ypu last had covid will stand you in good stead.

If you get respiratory stuff, the best supplement we found is NAC, works same day to reduce mucous and make breathing easier xx
