last month i had the corona for the second time and didn't even realize it until it was nearly over. Its peak pollen season here so i just thought it was my stupid neighbor refusing to cut his hay that was bugging me.

I was told a family member i had contact with had it so i tested and was positive and 2 days later tested negative . Really disappointing that I didn't get to obsess over symptoms for a full week like most people.
joking aside it was very different than my july 2020 bout with the alpha I knew i was sick that time. Scratchy throat runny nose meh , if you haven't had it yet avoid these pathetic 5th and further sequels and request the original version so you can enjoy your isolation. Nothing worse than having to avoid doing things for days when you aren't even sick.

My 80 year old mother got it at the same time and had no symptoms and was going thru chemo at the time. She had 3 moderna shots but no previous infection , I have no shots but was infected almost exactly 2 years ago.

Every damn fool I know with 3 or 4 shots has caught it in the last few months seems pointless to get any further boosters . Some of them quite a bit sicker than me symptom wise and one of them for sure gave it to me .

The shots do nothing

Well I'm one of those damn fools that has had all the boosters and so far not have had Covid so I guess the shots do good after all; so don't underestimate the booster shots.

Happy for you, but you’re a clever guy and know that you’ve just been lucky so far. Stay safe.

Luck has nothing to do with it...this isn't TattsLotto.

Unless you have some new credible information to share we are not going down this road again regarding vaccinations.

We've all had our say on this matter... over and over and over again.

Move on.

I don't get the flu ( not recently ), nor do I get flu shots so why would I risk my life for a covid vaccine? To make people like you feel better about themselves? Ain't gonna happen.

Brains have been washed more than hands.

Been following this thread awhile To sum up nobody gives a **** wether you get the flu/get a flu shot/get a covid shot/die of covid blah blah,you obviously have made a choice which is wonderful,theres no need to defend that choice nor have a crack at others re there choice.Walk away from the keyboard boil the jug and have a cuppa.

It's much the same as the old saying about people with tattoos.
"The only difference between vaccinated people and unvaccinated people is vaccinated people don't care that you are unvaccinated"

I have had covid for a few days now... wifey is slowly coming good as well , i still cannot smell or taste food ( seems like a week now ) but it hasnt stopped me working around the house and staying active.

I even had a nurse from my company call this morning checking up on my welfare and ready to organise anything i may need personally.

Even though they may be just keeping tabs on me i thought it was a nice gesture

[zilo]

Just got my 5th vaccination and the flu shot.

(AZ,AZ,PFz,Covid,MOD)

I am invincible...

Me too, but it was AFTER the initial week of covid. Reckon I lost 30% of my taste buds for a good 4-5 days, but it was mainly salt and bitterness that I couldn't taste. I've got 90% of it back now. My cousin lost all his taste buds for 3 months. Crazy. Of all the symptoms experienced, that would be the one that would drive me insane.

If it wasnt for my lack of smell i wouldn't have taken my RAT test 3 days early...

[martyal44]

As I mentioned missus and I got Covid on a PO ship and I think some people had it and just carried on knowingly or unknowingly; it's stricter now on subsequent cruises but we and over 200 others got it on the last 3-4 days and were confined to cabins (we were lucky with a balcony) almost completely well now and we are triple vaxed. Only advice is to social distance and wear a mask when appropriate.

And the weird thing moving forward is i have been given immunity from RAT self testing for the next month?
How does that help anyone or stop the spread, i'm not immune from carrying it so i really don't understand some of these directions that i have been given over the last few day's.
I would say more much, except my most confusing email has "Highly Confidential" printed all over it.

If you have recovered you are immune from carrying it. Your immune system has overwhelmed the virus, and for the next month will continue to do so. At first this was believed to last 3 months, now due to the virus's cleverness they are saying one month.

Any medical info for an individual is highly confidential, nothing weird there.

[martyal44]

To clarify, when we got on the cruise ship all passengers had to declare on an electronic form they had tested negative in the last 24 hrs via PCR or RAT which we had done: had photos, SMS results so a hand on heart approach which is obviously full of holes so by the end of the 9 days there was 200 or more cases, full disinfecting going on and a new notice posted around "must show a negative RAT to disembark" again which can be faked or in error. The RATs we got had the wrong instruction leaflet for the brand of cassettes given, not a huge deal but more 'scrambling to fix' actions, I think.
In short though for us, we hadn't caught Covid in over 2 years although being exposed a number of times and 1st cruise whammo.
