Saw this today and thought it was worth resurrecting the thread for. Some interesting, and slightly worrying, data on health outcomes following recovery from covid.
The growing evidence that Covid-19 is leaving people sicker
The potential impact on heart and brain disease poses challenges to healthcare systems globallywww.ft.com
Forget covid, well most people seem to have forgotten it exists, polio is making a comeback!
Polio found in UK for first time since 1984 as Government declares national incident
Parents of children who are not up to date with their polio vaccine course are urged to make an appointment with their GP as soon as possible, but the UKHSA says the risk to the wider population is lowinews.co.uk
Don't understand China
The whole world has proven zero covid doesn't work as a strategy
The rest of the world opened up and dealt with it and now were back with life as normal.
Wierd

It's mostly because the vaccine they've got is not as effective as any of the western ones, the west opened up with a highly-vaccinated population
Bizarre that they couldn't produce a decent vaccine…especially after creating the virus in the first place
Yeah i think that's probably true. Fermented sheep bollock will keep the rona awayThat’s what I’ve read as well. I also heard that a lot of elderly Chinese prefer traditional Chinese medicine so refused the vaccine. I don’t know if that’s true or not but if so, it’s a dangerous combination.
Anyone had their booster? Mines just been cancelled due to a shortage of vaccines so now I'm waiting for a call back from my Dads care home to see if I'll still be classed as up to date on vaccinations and allowed to visit.
Just wondering if there genuinely is a national shortage as my doctor claims or if they've fucked up somehow.
we're heading towards it joining the winter flu jab in the standard medical checklist kind of thing
But not seasonal like old fashioned flu so in some respects more dangerous as you can easily catch it any time of the year. We’ll definitely be offered annual jab’s. The danger is complacency, when we have a spike in cases and the NHS starts feeling the strain the dynamics has changed and most of the people ending up in hospital are the unvaccinated.Yep.....it'll become a standard offering alongside (or possibly integrated into) the flu jab.....
.......although since Omicron became dominant, covid is actually far less dangerous than a dose of old fashioned flu.
Mine was supposed to be both at the same time, one in each arm, so presumably in future years when they actually remember to order the vaccines that will be the plan.If they can do a 2 for 1 each year even better
Nope
Didn't even have the 3rd one
Caught Covid boxing day last year and other than being a bit tired I wouldn't have known I had it.
Like to think with 2 jabs and an infection my immunity should be decent enough
Get well soon, i've just got over it myself.Got back from the uk on Tuesday and in airport had a scratchy throat and you guessed it covid +, 3 days later my gf also has tested +.
Never had it, don't know anyone who's had it. And will stay that way I have no doubt
How is Antarctica at this time of year?
Do you test for it if you feel rough ?Never had it, don't know anyone who's had it. And will stay that way I have no doubt
I've finally got it. Absolutely wasted me first 2 weeks. Still not right.Got back from the uk on Tuesday and in airport had a scratchy throat and you guessed it covid +, 3 days later my gf also has tested +.
Wasted me for 2 weeks too. Wasn’t even that ill really. Had a couple of days oh headache, high temperature and aches. No cough, sore throat or breathing problems (I have asthma so was worried about breathing) but then for 2 weeks I had no strength whatsoever, even walking up the stairs was a chore.I've finally got it. Absolutely wasted me first 2 weeks. Still not right.

Know someone with a similar experience. They had it in the initial wave. They’ve been getting treatment using a hyperbaric chamber and had good results, took them ages to get the referral though.Snap. Total muscle fatigue. Everything was an effort and still hard now to do much now.
Got a good friend here whose a team leader with police special forces here. 6'4 , built like a tank. Still gets days months after COVID when he literally can't get out of bed.
