Personally I'm hacked off that people coming in from China now aren't required to be tested.
It may all be fine as you seem to think, but it just seems a no-brainier that this should be seen as a potential threat.
Italy, the US and several Asian countries seem to agree with me.
This is 'where we came in' in the Covid movie if you recall.
It’s everywhere already, and as already proven lockdowns/closing borders/testing/Covid passports etc have no impact on the spread unless they are draconian which is an economic disaster, something we couldn’t afford last time and certainly can’t afford again. Just forget it, live your life and ignore the media. It may all be fine as you seem to think, but it just seems a no-brainier that this should be seen as a potential threat.

As for the US, they are still preventing people from entering based on their jab history, which has had zero impact on their Covid outcome, yet they still continue with their selective entry policy. Insane behaviour which is now being extrapolated based on the BS scaremongering we’re being fed by the media again. Give it a couple of weeks and it will be net zero, the weather, cost of living, or something else that media will be scaremongering us with.
It’s time more people opened their eyes and ears, and saw through some of the BS we’ve been fed for the past few years.
Happy 2023!

+1. Sweden was criticised for not locking down, letting the nation take personal responsibility and they’ve done alright?Somebody said:

k up. A few of them spent their lockdown grants on new kitchens and extensions etc so they did very nicely out of it.I even met one friend who spent days posting about the benefits of the local lockdowns in London in December 2020. He was supposed to be in central London but he pretended to be working and was out shopping 300 miles North with his wife., he hasn't spoken about it since.
A few of my medical professional friends backed up a lot of my claims and got reprimanded by their health bosses. One heard a colleague on the radio say the ward in the local hospital was full of unvaccinated Covid patients in there 20's and 30's. That week 90% were vaccinated and over 75% were over 80 and in hospital for other things and caught Covid.
When he phoned up to set them straight and call out the misinformation he was the one that got in trouble.

Well my father in law who's fully jabbed up has been in hospital for three weeks now.
He went in for an infection, caught Covid then pneumonia . Due to age they wouldn't ventilate him but he managed to survive despite us being called down to say our goodbyes. His lungs are shot and they just can't get his oxygen levels up, he's a complete wreck. We also caught it in the process of visiting, I was fine but the missus suffered quite badly. The second time around for both of us.

I'm sorry to hear of your situation and hope you can all get clear of it soon.He went in for an infection, caught Covid then pneumonia .

In case it is worth considering as a treatment option, some research analysis has indicated that improved vitamin D levels may improve outcomes for those with Covid (although I note that he may be past Covid and just dealing with pneumonia now):

I tested positive yesterday after feeling like having a bad cold since Friday.
I’m pretty lethargic and congested, and cough up a lot at night with a bit of tightness to the chest.
To be honest it’s much worse than the first time I caught it, despite having my 4th booster in November!
Is this a “new variant” doing the rounds?

You seem surprised to have caught it again. Haven’t you worked out yet that the jab doesn’t prevent you catching it? So why keep having the jab over and over again, especially since it’s now being reported that their is no gain to the jab and potential risks, once you have natural antibodies?

I've been feeling not 100% for the last 10 days or so, cough, blocked up, sore throat.
Last week I then got the brain fog at work, so I came home and went to bed. I slept for the next 18 out of 20 hours. I then cycled through all the covid symptoms but the tests showed negative.
The brain fog is something that I've only ever had with covid, yet the tests said no.
It was like a Covid-lite that only affected me for 48 hrs.

My late father was the same, had 5 or 6 jabs including flu jabs, never left Devon until I took him to family at Christmas. 4 days into visit he started acting odd, restless etc, nephew took him home just before NYE, 999 next day, passed away from respiratory failure helped along by covid on 13th January.

With the jabs I think if you are in the high risk group which was initially talked about then they are a good idea on balance - My Mum now 82 has had the jabs but myself and my family have not as im more confident in natural immunity and dont like the possible bad reactions to the vax. risk/reward.
but for the high risk groups - if you have had the jabs and also covid then having more jabs adds no benefit no matter what age but only adds risks.

My 87 year old mother is in care home. She had 3 jabs then caught covid last summer, recovering well. I didn’t learn until recently that the local doctors gave her and many others in the home both another covid jab and flu shot in different arms at the same time. Apparently many people were ill for days afterwards. No recognition that she had recovered from Covid, had natural immunity and it is now recommended not to have more jabs once recovered from Covid. And so it continues……superlightr said:

It’s a good question. She is of reasonably sound mind but is no longer good at making decisions or considering detail. She doesn’t read any longer and cannot look after her finances. Or are the home administering injections without either their patients or the relatives' awareness??
To provide context I had discussed the potential of a 4th jab with her beforehand and she agreed she didn’t need another having previously recovered. Unfortunately she is of the generation/mindset that you do what doctors tell you to do and doesn’t like confrontation. So when this event occurred, without my notice, she went along with it as did the majority if not all the others in the care home I suspect. To be fair it’s the doctors doing this and taking their extra jabbing fees not the care home.
We’re going to be putting in place a medical LPA soon and I’ll be informing her doctors not to give her any more jabs.

I've tested positive for Covid. This is the second time. The first was rather mild, and I didn't feel too bad. Wind forward a bit over a year, and I feel as if I've been beaten up. Not sure why the difference in the experience.
Don't like it. It's been a week, and I still have headache, joint pain and lethargy.
Not recommended.
