Throat shouldn't be that sore from a virus, you might have secondary strep LT. Have a look at your throat in the mirror with a torch, if it looks like it has a white coating/patches then you probably need antibiotics (strep is bacterial).

I had a bad strep infection a few years back (about 8 years now actually) and I **** you not, it felt like swallowing broken glass every 10-15 seconds. Actual torture.

Covid cases have continued to rise in the UK, with an estimated one in every 20 people infected, figures from the Office for National Statistic suggest.

All age groups are affected, including the 75s and over, who are due a spring booster jab to top up protection.

Hospital cases are also rising, but vaccines are still helping to stop many severe cases, say experts.

An easily spread sub-variant of Omicron, called BA.2, is now causing most cases.

Recent easing of restrictions and waning immunity from the vaccines could be factors behind the rise too.

The ONS infection survey, which tests thousands of people randomly in households across the UK, estimates that 3.3 million people would have tested positive in the week ending 12 March - up from 2.6 million the previous week.

Scotland has seen infection levels rise for seven weeks in a row. They have now reached a new record high, with 376,300 people estimated to have had Covid last week, or one in 14.

Infection rates across the nations were:

England: 4.9%, up from 3.8% last week - approximately one in 25 people
Wales: 4.1%, up from 3.2% last week - approximately one in 25 people
Northern Ireland: 7.1% , down from 7.8% last week - approximately one in 14 people
Scotland: 7.15% up from 5.7% last week - approximately one in 14 people

It comes as the UK continues to lift previous Covid restrictions. As of Friday, people arriving in the UK will no longer need to take a Covid test, even if they haven't been vaccinated.

Thats why LT and lewis have now caught it

From those stats, you are nearly twice as likely to get covid if you live in scotland compared to england

Do you think those of us that have had Omicron can get the BA2 sub variant ?

it's a mutation of the main omicron strain, so its very unlikely you would be infected from it having caught it already

That is an interesting point actually .. especially as schools/colleges/ unis aren’t even testing.


Slight tangent.. one of my colleagues tested positive on 24th Jan ( presumably Omicron as it was rife by then ) anyways she’s tested positive again yesterday ... exactly TWO calendar months apart !!!
