The General Covid19 Thread

Mad_Cyril that was my concern, the well being of everyone within smelling distance.

Learned of three people who all died of COVID today. All family and friends of work colleagues. 2 were unvaxxed and in their mid 50s and 70s. A mother and son. The third was 80 and triple jabbed. I totally get people being done with this. I know I am. However the complete denial and general annoyance of those who have either managed to dodge it or have come out of an infection unscathed is fucking revolting. The whole Omicron is less lethal argument may very well be true, but it certainly doesn’t feel accurate. This wave has hit my area so fucking hard.

zackster whole Omicron is less lethal argument

it’s only true compared to delta, it’s significantly worse than pre-delta strains.

and thank you for the perspective. i don’t care who you are, you don’t want covid. maybe you get lucky and it’s mild, maybe you don’t. as one of the unlucky lottery winners, take my word for it.

303abuser it’s only true compared to delta, it’s significantly worse than pre-delta strains.

Who knows what strain they all had, but Omicron seems a safe assumption. Based on the eye test it sure seems like we did better with Delta. As media both local and national crow about the end of this wave it just feels like things are just getting worse. Just one man’s experience, but for the past 3 weeks I’ve been getting rocked with bad COVID news, of which your own personal experience is an example.

zackster i agree with all of that. i only knew a handful of people who had covid prior to december, now i know more people who’ve had it than not. our hospitals are still overwhelmed, icu numbers are climbing daily, and our province just caved to the truckers and tossed out all restrictions and are pretending it’s over.

i’m all for being done with this and gradually removing restrictions, but it needs to be based on the health of the healthcare system. i’m really not sure what to expect from the next few months.

Along_the_Wire

I know only a handful of people that haven’t had it now and our hospitalisations are falling massively. This’ll happen in Canada for sure

303abuser

i’m sure it will, but we’re close to a month behind the uk. icu rates are climbing here and we’re still using converted beds from the provincial children’s hospital (the one that provides care for major childhood illness and disease) as overflow. all non-life and limb surgeries are still on hold and we have a 2 year backlog. i think we’d do well with not removing restrictions on the unvaccinated until that’s sorted out.

Mad_Cyril Deduction - Dave is struggling to rouse ‘little Dave’.

Am I right?

Not since I ‘spoke to Frank’

303abuser I’m gonna try the magnesium glycinate for my next batch. Just to see the difference.

303abuser

rhouses always worth trying, but if it’s not bothering your stomach now, you probably won’t notice much of a difference.

Jules72 All sorts of different ways to consume melatonin now. Heard about the chews, and there are also patches that you can stick on.

Funnily enough that’s also how I got introduced to it, went through a rough break-up with my wife when we were dating, terrible insomnia, and my dad put me on them. That first time was mind blowing, how the whole body suddenly goes all warm and fuzzy, and boom you’re out.

bosstrabs

LOL @ Rhouses’ dad giving him Ket.

rhouses

bosstrabs lol. I can’t remember what I said that made him give me melatonin but it was definitely shameless. Something like “my nightly joint isn’t working for sleep anymore” or some rubbish. Bless him for putting up with all my shite.

Along_the_Wire

Melatonin’s never worked for me, just nothing.

Along_the_Wire

9 people so far have tested positive from my party on Saturday. I’ve had a right cunt of a cold to deal with, but am testing negative

whatever

Along_the_Wire

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope the 9 who tested positive recover quickly.

I suspect that the exact time of infection could be traced to when Emerald was played. There would have been some serious prog vibes pinging all over the place, which may have inadvertently assisted in spreading the virus. Known properly as Covid-19 activated prog.

Hopefully it wasn’t the Grayarea mix because with 10:42 track length, the viral load would have been beyond huge.

I’ve started getting headaches and other body aches today. Did a test this morning which was negative but think it’s in the post

zackster

Oh man

Homegrove

Well shit. I even caught it without attending!

Along_the_Wire

Old-Dutch Fuck, sorry mate - I’ve had that since Tuesday and tested negative since - starting to feel better this afternoon, so hopefully just a cold my end.
