I am so sick of Covid

[Nick]

Surprised to see you describe it as 'the flu' then.  Omicron had some similarities I guess but its predecessors were really nasty.  3 years after nearly dying of Covid one of my friends still isn't right and my brother took 18 months to get back to near normal.  And of course for too many it was lethal.

I had it, coughed half a dozen times and that was it, my wife had to crawl upstairs to bed on her hands and knees. Two of my girls lost their smell and taste, one got them back six months later, one said everything tasted of onions. My son had never contracted it, it's many things to many people.

It must be SW's Supremacy in handling the effects of the virus that's captured your attention. Or perhaps you were reading an account of Lincolnshire towns when you realised his achievement...

No, my attention was captured by his bottle and good humour.

The board has had a secret meeting and decided that SW has bourne the Covid with courage and good humour and should therefore be allowed to moan as much as he likes.

Everyone else is free to get fucked

Well I dont go on about it unless asked and I guess in a way your asking with the bait of the OP

3 years 3 months and 28 days since I got the covid Ive just spent the last week sitting as still as possible trying not to breath . Im not trying to off myself just stop the pain as the airbags crash against the rib cage and dont even ask about when I cough . It will ease over the next few days ,I know as get these symtoms every couple of months or so . The Asthma is ongoing as is the Arthritis but thankfully the post viral soriasis has cleared up . Ive still got an enlarged heart and the Kidney is detereating . The GP's say there is nothing wrong with me . My guess is that they dont know

Todays another day , Naproxen has taken the edge off it this morning and Im going to get the clubs out of the shed and give it a go . As you say Borky no point in being depressed about it and a few beers after will sort me right out , till later when the old woman will be saying ''i told you not to go to golf '' as I cough and double over in pain once more .

Just another day in the Long covid world many of us have ended up in , but there is nothing wrong with me .onwards and upwards ........FORE!

Pun intended.

But after years of it l folk are still whingeing.. You have a touch of the flu ? Fine. Ring in sick, take plenty of fluids, brandy, aspirin, bedrest and self pity and there you are.

But for F@@@'s sake stop going on about it.

But didn't the vaccine protect them?

You do know that prior to April 2021 most people in the UK hadn't been vaccinated don't you.

[Scott777]

Lots of people are suffering from long covid - I know one such person, who was active and 'never ill' before they got covid and now they struggle to get through the day.

[Borchester]

Have you ever had Covid?

Yes

[HDQQ]

Right now, covid levels are low in UK, most people are vaccinated and recent variants of the virus are said to be milder, although more infectious. 
Most people have been vaccinated and treatment for those who need it has improved because of the steep learning curve during the pandemic.

But people are still getting ill and a few are getting seriously ill. Lots of people are suffering from long covid - I know one such person, who was active and 'never ill' before they got covid and now they struggle to get through the day.

One of the top covid science experts has said that while the pandemic seems like it's over, nobody knows what mutations could occur to the virus and what effects they might have.

Even flu can be dangerous and fatal for the elderly and those with weak or compromised immune systems. Everyone needs to be aware of this — especially those who could be carriers and/or the most directly affected.

I remember stating in a strategy proposal a while ago something like: Frequent incidental references to the brand (in this case Covid and flu) alongside official publicity acts as nudge influencing, which helps official messaging. Combined subtle and direct prompts can make a choice or decision feel more natural for the buyer.

I still think it's a valid argument...
