Glad to hear its just some lergy. Although would say if feel worse over next day or so consider getting tested again, incase they did the wrong nostril or tonsil ?

Also more reports of re infection:

Note though both had low immune response first time (low antibodies). As mentioned previously vaccines tend to generate stronger and more consistent antibody responses (well that is one of points of phase 3 trials to make sure it does for majority)

Failing that maybe everyone over 30 should join carousel so the kids can party and dance ?
(I'm defo over 30 so rather not!)

Much better today pal, I’d say back to 80%. Back in work too which is a bonus!!!
 
Second wave!
Re-infections!
Travel-bans!
Increase of new cases!

Meanwhile hospitals here are empty...just as in a lot of countries in Europe. Over half of the people that get tested positive have not noticed they had symptoms, not even a cough. Currently more people die from traffic accidents or falling down the stairs than from Covid.
But.... the fear porn must go on...because everyone must get a vaccin.
Let's just get this over with, let all the scared people put a needle in their arm so the governments can say: look at us, we solved this!

Citation needed. (ideally not from Russian propaganda or Right Wing news sources)

In the UK there is only around 1000 deaths a year from falling down the stairs, or 2200 in 'transport' accidents.
 
The number of patients in intensive care is rising slowly but surely in France, and the number of new contaminations is exploding ...

Well if you wanna get picky on that sentence and forget about the whole message that's fine by me. The thing with people in camp-fear is...every alternative view gets sliced down as: "Russian propaganda or Conspiracy theory"

This comes from a dutch newspaper: In 2018 in Holland 4628 people died from falling (stairs, streets, whatever). That's an average of 13 fatal falls a day. We have now 32 Covid deaths in this week here.

But hasn't the Netherlands had 6000~ deaths for COVID in 5 months or so? So it is more fatal so far and will likely be for the rest of the year so it is a nonsense argument / stat. Unless you use a single day / weekly rate to make your point but I'm not sure it works like that
 
My aim wasn't to spread "fear porn" ?

Govs may be over reacting due to low hospitalization numbers, but perhaps their scientists are saying keep spread low, reduce risk of serious mutations as possible until we have some better tools in the tool box for it.?‍♂️

The original wuhan outbreak actually appears to be from 2 or more clades. (Clades are mutations but the virus behaves the same. Strains are mutations where it behaves differently)

Which means it been out there for longer than thought, then picked up a mutation that made it much more infectious strain (eg see D614G mutation of protein spike that made it x10+ better able to infect mammal cells) and kicked off this madness.

Can we just restore 2019 backup over 2020 please? Feels like a bad update this year ??

it's the elderly and weak that, sadly, covid's taken, By that token, if an elderly or weak person falls down some steps, that will more likely kill them than if they were young and fit. Example, I fell off a ladder during covid, just a bruised foot and ego, but if I'd have been 80 that could have seen me off.
