Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 My wife just had it for the 3rd time. I've only had it once bizarrely, despite sharing a bed with her and getting my last booster more than a year ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to FUCK OFF! After already having a week off I had to ring today to say I’ll be off for at least another. Still testing positive on day 8 and not sure whether it’s because I’m a first-timer but fucking hell man, it’s knocked me sideways. Constant dizziness at the moment. I’m just wandering round the house like a zombie half-heartedly doing jobs that can’t wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44872 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I got the flu one last week. No after effects which was canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 One of the bar managers at my local went there last night knowingly with Covid and infected at least half a dozen people. I think I've probably got immunity seeing as I only had it 3 weeks ago and have tested negativity, but he cannot understand why I've called him an irresponsible selfish prick. One of the blokes who's picked it up is a self-employed floorer and won't be working until it's cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreymag 71 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have had another jab today that’s my 4th. Oh well better to be safe than sorry I show I look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30610 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 So it looks like one of Toontastic’s last invincibles may be wounded, perhaps fatally. I felt a bit rough yesterday, sore all over and no energy. The wife said she was the same. Both tested and both negative. Now the wife has tested positive this morning and I’m still negative but giving the way I feel I’d say it’s only a matter of time before I’m getting two lines up.

Dr Gloom 21921 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I had old school flu this week. Was much worse than covid. I had an actual old school fever for the first time in about 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44872 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I've been ropey this week but turned up a negative test yesterday on the last remaining one we have in the house. Think it's just a cold. I never used to get colds, I reckon all the lockdown and wfh has damaged my once invincible immune system. I made the mistake of going on the work Christmas night out and here I am fucked now. My lass can't get tests from school anymore btw cos the school doesn't want people testing positive and taking time off. Don't know if that's govt policy or just the stupid cunt head of her school.

Assuming you're jabbed up, otherwise tough luck. Christ, it's nearly a year since I got it. Feels like a ot longer ago than that. Just recovering from a non-covid virus now and will concur it's been worse than what covid threw at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think our immune systems are pretty goosed, see also uptick in Scarlet fever cases in kids. Mrs Rents was really ill last month, took a week off work, she's never previously taken a day off even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 298 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm still testing positive with the same faint line I got on 8th October 😕 Feeling better other than my thinking is a bit slower, mental arithmetic and struggling with some things at work that I'd usually storm through.

ewerk 30610 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I paid for the flu jab this year because I was worried about a big wave of it. I’d have paid for the covid one too if it were offered but apparently this Marxist government doesn’t believe in the free market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you tests all from the same batch? My mate had that until someone suggested it might be a faulty batch. Got a test from elsewhere and it was negative; tried another from the same batch and positive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
