Borris says no

[Alf]

I've tested positive.

I felt at deaths door yesterday and still not too good today but better than yesterday. I decided to do a test and the two red lines came up within a minute.

I was pretty sure it was Covid, that's why I did a test. My symptoms was a pounding headache and cold shivers but no bunged up nose.

I think I'm over the worst.

I am a little baffled by people still testing when all isolation rules have gone out of the window tbh, especially now we have to pay for tests. Even though isolation only went out of the window because Boris wanted covid to go away due to his own rulebreaking

Hope you feel better soon alf. And anyone else ill. With or without covid.

Well Boris might not give a damn ,but some people still want to make sure they're COVID free ... Especially if they're working with vulnerable people or socialising alot.

Yes we're now told to "live with COVID" , and restrictions are lifted but this pandemic is still a pain in the neck. Even though we know we have to just get on with things.

Also some people are still trying to isolate ,for atleast a few days if they've tested positive.

I took the test and I'm actually positive now , been coughing and everything. If I was UNvaccinated I think my symptoms would have been ALOT WORSE.

EDIT .. And it's ridiculous how the tests cost money now, so yeah less and less people will do them as they won't want to pay.

I feel much better now. Basically a days headache was all that Covid was. We stopped the World and destroyed lives for that.

I trusted my immune system and it didn't fail me. Better than any vaccine.

Thing is Alf you're not that old and (I assume) in good health. My daughter is unvaxxed also but she's 12 so she basically had a very mild headache for half a day and then a week of complaining that she couldn't see her pals. Can also officially say at this point (5+ days since she tested negative) that neither me nor my wife caught it from her, despite living with her and not really making her isolate in her room at all ... we just carried on as normal. And she also accidentally spat in my wife's mouth whilst positive. That was a whole thing. The whole story is, they were stood close together face to face and my daughter burst out laughing about something, sending spittle directly into my wife's face. Still no Covid )

My dad on the other hand, is 67 and not in the best health, he had it in February and was very unwell (developed mild pneumonia). He got over it but he's still looking extremely thin, a bit worrying really. Also, when his sister had it (pre-vax back in 2020 - and yes I know that was an "old variant") she legitimately nearly died, was in ICU for 3+ weeks and still isn't right, 18 months later.

On the other hand, my wife's grandma who is nearly 90, very frail, deaf and almost blind has had it something like 3 times and only been mildly ill each time.

There's an element of pot luck it seems.

My brother also has it now and he's feeling worse than I am and he's fully vaxed and boostered. He also keeps himself fit by going to the gym regularly and eats healthier than I do. I'm a heavy smoker who eats crappy food and besides a walk every now and then I do no exercise.

Very interesting and informative !

It was the sheer randomness and the fear of the unknown that was the worst for me for the first two years of Covid

Now symptoms are milder , PLUS we are triple vaxed PLUS we’ve both had it just recently ( Jan 2022) I don’t give it a second thought .


We just have to hope that a crazy new nastier variant doesn’t appear .

There are some crazy accounts around

That popular online Doctor occasionally has a guest from the US ( I think ) who looks about 25 and he’s a champion mountain biker so he WAS uber- fit . He has had one vaccination but was dreadfully ill ( not Covid) - I can’t recall all the issues he’s experiencing but they are my numerous and life changing - his problems started immediately after the jab and still persist many , many months later ..

Scary

I was gonna say that infections were well down but hardly anyone is testing so it’s all irrelevant, I guess

Nicola Sturgeon has been reported to police after being filmed apparently breaching Scotland's face mask rules.

Footage on social media shows the first minister without a mask in an East Kilbride barber shop, which she had visited on the election campaign trail.

She posted footage of the visit on her own Instagram account with her mask on.

The SNP said Ms Sturgeon realised she was not wearing a mask "within a few seconds" of entering the shop.

It is legally required for people to wear face coverings in many indoor settings in Scotland until Monday, when the law becomes guidance.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We can confirm that we have received a complaint which is currently being assessed."

During the visit to the barber shop on Saturday, Ms Sturgeon shaved a man's beard while journalists took photographs.

The SNP leader later posted footage on her own social media feeds, describing it as "surreal" but one of the best and "scariest" things she had done on the campaign trail.

However, further footage was later posted online showing her interacting with people without her mask on.

A SNP spokesperson said: "The first minister was invited into the barbers during an outdoor visit on the street.

"Within a few seconds, she realised she hadn't put her mask back on and immediately put it on."

n December 2020 Ms Sturgeon apologised for breaching Covid-19 restrictions when she briefly removed her mask at a funeral.

The Scottish Conservatives have condemned the latest apparent breach of the rules as "blatant hypocrisy".

The party's health spokesman Dr Sandesh Gulhane MSP said: "The video clearly shows Nicola Sturgeon isn't practicing what she preaches on facemasks.

"She's happy virtue signalling for official photos but behind closed doors it's clear she doesn't believe in her own rules so why should anyone else.

"The public, who have been under these legal Covid restrictions for over two years, deserve an apology for this rule break."

A Scot Liberal Democrat spokesperson added: "It's incumbent on all politicians to set a good example. It looks like Nicola Sturgeon has lost track of what her own rules are."

The BBC has contacted Scottish Labour and the Scottish Greens for comment.

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak recently rejected calls to resign, despite being fined by police for breaking lockdown rules in Downing Street in June 2020.
