Why are you testing?

COVID was 4 years ago FFS

My parents had it so just to be on the safe side we did a test

If you are outdoors and away from other people I dont see the issue, we have not been required to stay home for Covid for over 3 years, its just another flu now so no need to worry

….ahhhhh, I hope that you feel better soon, Kev…and on a positive, when you do get to the beach…?…it’ll be so much quieter and a much nicer experience, which is always the better plan…..

My mum was telling me she had quite a persistent bad cold for weeks and weeks. She sounds a lot better now but it took a lot of persuading for her to get the antibiotics she should’ve been prescribed from the off. GPs can be like that. Gatekeeping resources more than they help.

…with a cold virus that your mom may have had…?… antibiotics wouldn’t have been prescribed as they wouldn’t obviously have been effective on a virus…but I’m presuming that her virus developed into an infection, which they would then have been prescribed…I’m glad that she’s sounding and feeling better and probiotics are good to take as well to strengthen her immune again for everything the anti’s weaken…

What I meant by “telling me she had a cold” was that that’s what she thought it started off (at-least as far as she could tell) but eventually developed into something more severe, an infection of sorts (bordering on pneumonia). At that point, it became glaring that she desperately needed the antibiotics her GP was hesitant to prescribe her at-first.

…even getting an appointment to be able to see someone to prescribe the antibiotics is not at all easy atm for many so I’m glad she now has the medication to enable her recovery…

I don’t think it’s always ever really been that easy to get antibiotics, really, tbh, but yeah. Appointment-scheduling being notoriously bad these days doesn’t help. But yeah. She’s on the mend now and she’s good.

A cold does not require antibiotics

It ended up being a bit more than a cold, though, Cherie. It was bordering on pneumonia at one point.

What's the point in living in Portugal if you still get the flu all the time?
