Coronavirus.

Yeah the cough was awful, especially if you have the sore throat. It stayed with me for about a month but I think my symptoms are all gone now.

Sorry to hear you're both down with it, hopefully the worst of the symptoms have peaked or will peak soon. Usually around day 3 or 4 if you're lucky.
It was round about that length of time for me, youngest said he felt much better after 2 days, seems really weird to me, seeing how he hasn't had any jabs.
A friend kept an irritating cough after first dose and they caught it again and the cough disappeared.
Due to the nature of my job, we struggle to keep patients in their bedrooms, a lot refuse to believe Covid exists, I've seen a couple of them deliberately cough right in the faces of staff.
I'm not over this bout and I'm terrified of catching it again.

I had a cough for a couple of years, which after numerous xrays and tests the docs were baffled as to why my upper respiratory system (or whatever it was they called it) was so bad. Then I had the 1st Pfizer and it magically went. Started to come back just before the 2nd jab , when it went again.

Need another booster now , I'm sure it'll cure this latest illness which has lasted 3 weeks ! Lat flow tests have been coming up negative , even today , but I've been feeling so ill. According to a mobile jab van at the bottom of our road last week , I'm due to be offered one from September. Pity they couldn't have just whacked one in then, as they were sitting there waiting for takers.

People accusing people of being conspiracy theorists are people who also deny that the story has changed over the last 2 years.
People who make jokes about tin foil increasingly look stupid and disrespectful as the story unfurls. They are that caught up in their own arrogance that nothing else exists! There are thousands more medical professionals that have different views now than they did in 2020, but you probably don't want to hear that. :xd:
Unless you haven't noticed -
Vaccines no longer save everybody by giving them 95% protection, though they probably never did! People wnat to just believing the original plan. Why else would you wear masks in an open field, or in a car on your own?
The level of damage caused is gradually getting closer to the level of damage caused by covid illness,but they are increasingly keeping it under wraps.
Possibly the biggest illness - people who claim to be scientifically knowledgeable and talking down to anybody who questions what they are still force fed by those still forcing anything backed by big pharma solutions.
No point Gilbert (as you know) as all you are doing is speaking to a brick wall, they will simply refuse to question what they are told as they soak up another dose each day via their chosen Beano or Dandy.
Things that stare them straight in the face as clearly odd in the extreme will not shake them from what they are told & again as you know they will always attack the messenger.

Day 8. I'm sure they expected me back at work after 5 or 6. The ward Sister reckoned I wouldn't be off for long. It affects everyone differently.
Did you feel sick at all (tummy upset) ? I've not been feeling well at all all day again today, but holding off testing till tomorrow as I'm not going anywhere.

Hell yeah! I was throwing up like it's going out of fashion. Didn't slow down my appetite though. I've been ravenous all the time.

Considering the cost of tests nowadays that seems wise, not much value in knowing if it wouldn't change your plans anyway and you're not ready for an ambulance yet.

Loads better thank you x
Still got the cough, can't see it going anytime soon.
Rang work earlier, had tell them i'm ready go back tomorrow. I honestly don't want go, I don't know if that's cos I'm terrified of being re-infected, or because I'm starting to hate the job.
Well, I love the job, always have, but there's never enough staff, and there's never any end to it.
