Covid-19 Pandemic - Alright everyone, back to The Pile

[Cold]

If you look at what’s unfolding in China, the business case for the Pfizer vaccine is pretty good. I’m not sure I can really believe the carnage that is unfolding in China tbh. Hopefully we don’t get to experience the same.

I heard an add on the radio last night where they were speaking about what to do if you have symptoms etc and at the end it said brought to you by Pfizer.

I've never bought into the conspiracy element of it all but there sure is a lot of money in those vaccines.

Good to hear you got through it El Kabong!.

I know it can be very easy to get dehydrated,especially when your feeling off you just dont want to drink etc,which usually ends up making you feeling worse.

Hopefully with some rest and taking it easy you will get over it fairly quickly.

As a side note,I've noticed a lot more people wearing masks again when they are out and about.
It seemed for the last while,you never seen anyone wearing them.

[El Kabong!]

I got Covid for the first time, that I know of, the week before Christmas. Flu symptoms and queezy for a week. Was dehydrated and lost weight. Was fine on Xmas eve and Xmas morning but went downhill and on St Stephens day was diagnosed with a kidney infection. Just feeling a bit better today now.

Be great, if that turns out to be true.

Just let the bodies immune system do its work, maybe just boosting people who haven't had
Covid yet.

Wasn’t there an alternative booster being tested in Israel, sorry I’m no medic, I’m there’s a more clinical term for it...

[Titan]

I think the big fear again,is new variants emerging.
Well new ones will always emerge.

Its probably more so whether the current vaccines are good enough to keep on top of the situation is the big headache I'd imagine.

I have also had the impression for the last while that a lot of people haven't really bothered getting another vaccine dose,that sentiment might turn around pretty quickly if they have been watching the headlines over the last few days as well.

Both myself and Mrs Dubal have had a dreaded cold&flu with one day of strep throat, no sleep for us for 2 nights and fever, coughing and runny noses, Both tested negative for Covid
i''d put it down to not having good immunity as I,m not the type to get a bad dose

[Cold]

I’m assuming there was some selection bias but about half of tested passengers from China arriving in Italy were found to be Covid-19 positive. Which is not a good look. Whether it really matters when it’s completely out in the open anyhow who knows.

Just got Covid for the first time on the lead up to Christmas. Slept for nearly 2 days straight. No one else in the house got it, out of solitary confinement on Stephens day and now straight into a cold. I need a hug😭

Sorry for your troubles lad, a virtual hug will have to do!

[deltona]

Yeah, looking like it's best to monitor requirements for travel again unfortunately, just in case controls and restrictions might change. Hopefully with a combo of immunity from natural infection and vaccination in many countries things won't get out of hand.

[Titan]

Yeah it seems the fact China is about to fully open its doors,and let its people travel freely again has now spooked a good few countries.

[Cold]

Oh goodie, travel restrictions are starting to come back in the US and other countries. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...eads-rcna63435
