i dont believe I've had it. We were all paranoid early 2020 where the least sniffle or tickle in the throat meant we could have covid

The infection mechanism isn't as simple as it appears. My brother got covid oct/nov last year, his wife didn't. Then his wife got omicron just before new year and he didn't get it .... work that one out if you can

Not so far but I’m ultra careful and triple jabbed plus flu jab

Our daughter has had it twice

Only in London .. everywhere else it’s up on last week apparently

yes, london is about a week or so ahead of the rest of the country. We know nothing for certain, but it looks like the infections/hospitalisations will peak over the next week and then it "should" be over the worst and fall pretty rapidly from there

And our herd immunity should be stellar

Thankyou Omicron

The testimony of my friends who have had the new covid, have all said being locked on the bedroom is the worst part of the experience.

I’ve seen quite a few medical boffs claiming the NEW symptoms of Omicron are a bad headache , runny nose and fatigue ..

I’ve no idea why the NHS etc are still banging on about a flaming cough and loss of taste/smell .,

I work in a huge high school as you may know and I can’t even remember the last cough I heard..

He says that we are all gonna get Covid ... makes me wonder how many of us have already had it ... it would be interested to get volunteers who haven’t had it to give a blood sample to see what % have had it without knowing .

All that said .. with all these damn variants I guess it doesn’t even matter if you’ve had an old variant as you can still get a new one

I had a bit of a cough when I had it but was more of a tickle, most of my friends had headaches but I never got that really although did have a sore throat and some fatigue for a couple of days

Agree that the NHS 3 original symptoms criteria is looking a bit dated now

not everyone is going to get covid, that is just not true. If herd immunity truly kicks in, then a good proportion of the community just wont get covid because the virus has no place to go, so your chance of infection drops to near enough zero even if you havent had covid before. That's how herd immunity works

To be fair if it starts to head towards "common cold territory" then ALMOST everyone will have had it eventually... how many people do you know who don't catch a cold every now and then? It obviously scales with how much you're in public though. I had colds all the time when I was in a public-facing job, really have only had a few minor sniffles since I became an office/WFH recluse.
