On the other hand I tested positive this morning so am now on my second Dose of COVID 19. Symptoms were cough, stuffed up nose, some difficulties focussing and tiredness. It’s still out there. That was good of you to attend the 1877 club and the match on Sunday to share among our support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but you got that wrong. Firstly I wasn’t in the 1877 club. Secondly. I tested negative that day before travelling (I tested as I would be sharing the car with others) and thirdly , to err on the safe side , I wore a mask during the drive and at the game apart from when I ate my steak pie and drank my Diet Coke. Oh - and to have a photograph taken with one of my granddaughters who was attending her first game at the age of 20. Couldn’t miss that opportunity.

Apologies. I was certain I recognised you in the club. Perhaps my eyesight needs testing. Either that or you have a twin brother.

I also checked the current advice in Scotland before going on Sunday to make sure I was acting responsibly cos that’s the kind of guy that I am and followed that guidance.

antrin Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 I’ve had 2 vaccinations and 2 boosters. on my recent holiday, we were tested before being allowed on board ship. All clear. during the journey, we were temperature-tested prior to every meal - several fellow punters vanished to their cabins, for a protracted period. Covid was obviously aboard, I came home via Heathrow. Had a slightly rough throat and a bit of a runny nose. Intended to join pals for a usual few Saturday pints, but tested just in case. Wow! The result was immediately very brightly positive. My partner then also checked, despite no symptoms. Also positive. I've since spent every day in my neglected, parched allotments, digging up spuds, beetroot etc from clay baked like concrete, lugging gallons of water about. No physical problems other than the (now-gone) sore throat and snotters. I seem to have got off very lightly, considering alternatives that I’ve read about. Proof, for me, that the jags DO work. I’ll keep accepting ALL that our glorious NHS offer. Will probably test again tomorrow… out of interest.

Hope you (both) get no worse than you are now and test negative soon -Remember - Your Allotment Needs You! PS. I hope to be able to use a hose (luxury or luxuries) to water our many pots, flowers and grass today. Much more mild this second time around for me at least.

faraway saint Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Everyone, well, most people, will be happy the cases have fallen AGAIN this week, down 29%. Good news all round, hospitalisations down 17% and ICU down 32% to only 17. The next booster, is that due around September? Roll up, roll up, choose life, not hiding away.

Over 50s will start in December That seems to have been changed..............................from the Gov.Uk website...............I'm assuming Scotland will follow this? Everyone aged 50 and over will be among those offered a COVID-19 booster and a flu jab this autumn under plans to increase protection against respiratory viruses ahead of winter. On coronavirus (COVID-19) boosters, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has now published its final recommendations for this autumn’s programme. Under the advice, those eligible for a further dose will be: all adults aged 50 years and over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
