Just a very mild headache.
Great to hear. I suggest a better class of whisky

@mikethesnow maybe it’s a product of suppressing the immune system by our behavior over the past year or so.

Dammit, after carefully avoiding the deadly plague for 20 months, I have now tested positive for Covid on a lateral flow test. Have had a follow-up PCR test and should get the results of that tomorrow. No real symptoms apart from fatigue. In isolation for a wee bit.
How you travelling Sparks?

@sparky sorry to hear that, hope you sail through it no worries. I'd recommend getting one of those finger oxygen monitors from amazon, if you go below 90 that's the sign to seek medical help.
Apple Watch has blood oxygen too if you have a later one.

@booboo Only mild symptoms. Headache and joint pain. Vaccines looking after me I guess.
I was going to around thousands of other people this weekend at Bonfire, Remembrance and Rugby events so I'm grateful for swift testing once I realised I'd been in very close contact with someone who had the virus.
Instead it is a weekend of rest, watching the tests and posting some ramblings on here.

Just had my rescheduled (by me) booster jab.
I continue to be impressed - 4 minutes from rocking up to getting the jab. Insanely efficient. Only problem is having to wait 15 minutes as it's Pfizer which means a rush back for the Italy game

If we need any further evidence that the politicians have no fucking clue what they're doing but are shocked that the general public can't follow the 'rules', I present Exhibit A
My missus and I went to the Wales v NZ match two weekends ago.
Pre requisite for entry was a digital copy of the NHS Covid Pass
She's just arrived in Llandrindod Wells, Powys for a 'Visit Wales' run tourism conference only to be told by the organisers 'Visit Wales' (Welsh Government) that the digital NHS Covid Pass will not be accepted and she will not be allowed entry until she shows the paper card given to each person when they receive the vaccine(s)
It's in a drawer at home for safe keeping and I've had to take photos of it and send them to her.
What a complete fucking farce.
If the Welsh Government thinks the Welsh public will go back into a Winter Lockdown quietly they are very much mistaken.

Drakeford and his crew appear to be so intent on being seen to be doing something, anything and can’t see past that. I feel sorry for you guys over the river that have to put up with this third rate shambles. Must be maddening.

Almost 12,000 deaths in NHS facilities with people contracting COVID
That's almost 10% of UK deaths

That highlights one of the big problems with hospitals. They’re always full of sick people.

@majorrage said in Coronavirus - UK:
Couple of cases of this new variant in the UK already.
Amazing how much fear has been speculated given that we literally know nothing about this new variant yet. Nothing.
I fear for the end of my folks trip next April.
I'd trust Chris Whitty.

@victor-meldrew Yep, just heard a South African epidemiologist on the radio saying it has much milder symptoms than the strains we’ve had so far. There was some suggestion it would be preferable if that strain became dominant.
