Conjunctivitis is a side affect of a virus at the end of the day, don't think it makes Covid unique. It's often found with cold / flu.

Has anyone had this lately and found themselves struggling afterwards, I went out to the kitchen earlier did a bit of tidying and ran out of puff really quick.

Yeah but that's because I keep most of my cannabis in the attic

Got a mate who got it for the second time a couple of months ago. First time round wasn't too bad, this time round still not recovered. Late 30s, super healthy and now can't go to work or do basic tasks
Doctors say there's nothing they can do as there's no treatment, just got to wait and see if it goes on its own

That's not good, hopefully he will improve soon.

Dodged the 'vid for 3 years even though Mrs WM has had it 3 times (fully vaccinated).
But it's caught up with me and I've finally tested positive. Not sure where I caught it from but feel like shit.
Still about then.

Course it is, it's that time of year it ramps up. Will be new dangerous variants etc etc.

Even better now because they’re pulling the free vaccines and you have to pay for them…..

There isn’t a time of year. It’s a cycle of enough people’s immunity wains enough either from their last vaccine or infection or a combination of both enough to start spreading it again so the number of people with it increases again until enough people have gained fresh immunity meaning the spread calms down again. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat etc etc etc.
This isn’t a seasonal virus.

The story seems to be that you won't get them unless you're one of the most high risk groups (ie: the ones who got the spring boosters).
I'm in the high risk group and was contacted by my doctor to have a joint flu / covid appointment at the same time of year I'd normally have my flu jab. Then they got told that flu jabs were to be delayed as there was uncertainty with what was happening with covid jabs.
Few days later, after a lot of GPs complained they'd already booked people in based on the normal schedule, the flu appointments got reinstated but no covid jabs. Then it changed to you can have the covid booster if you paid for it, and my Dads care home were very strongly in favour of regular visitors getting boosters. Then the manufacturers said its far too late to arrange that for this year, the earliest for paid boosters will be next winter.

Couple of people I know here in Kent suggest they have it. Just checked out Government website which suggests slight increase since July in cases and hospitalisations but not deaths. To be expected there will be peaks and troughs but let's hope Richie has a plan up his sleeve just in case.
Remember when you were convinced that new variants would be used to justify new lockdown measures forever and ever? Whatever happened to that?

Couple of people at work had it. Said it was much worse than when they've had it before but only lasted 48 hours.

London had a huge increase in cases but hospitalisations are low apparently.

Its literally endemic now. Like Norovirus, Flu, Cold etc. its here to stay will never go away and people should just crack on as per normal like we have for the last 2 years or so.
If you feel ropey don't go near anyone. Why they still feel the need to report 'peaks' etc is beyond me

I use a co-working space in Portsmouth and messaged folks on a WhatsApp group we have to let them know that I had it but was coming in yesterday. Just out of respect.
It was maybe quieter than I expected (but could be for a number of reasons tbf) but there were a few in who weren't bothered.
I said to them that I'm getting on with things and treating it like a cold (which in effect, is what it feels like). That said, I feel a bit more sluggish today so am working from home as both kids are in nursery.

This is how people should be with it i feel. Probably dead on how youire approaching it
People either just like to catastrophise or be 'scared' by what is now a bad cold
