New Covid strain spreading across the UK that's less likely to cause symptoms

[Mitz]

All i know is I'm just over 5 weeks from testing positive and 6 weeks from the actual contact and i still feel like shite.
I have been taking B12 and Vitamin D for over a year and a half too, has it helped? No idea, maybe i would have been worse. Who knows?
After just 6 days i was put on antibiotics by my dr to stop it turning into pneumonia, i had a chest infection with it and the first lot of Antibiotics helped but needed a different type after a week to knock it on the head. Thank god i called her, she has been amazing.
Whilst i don't have the main covid cold, flu type symptoms anymore, I'm shattered all the time, brain fog, very low mood, increased headaches and now on a course of antibiotics for a kidney infection. FML but still thank fuck i had both vaccines cause i may have died if i hadn't.

Its no joke this covid, as Andi said it attacks weakness, for me it was my chest, head and mental health, for my hubby it was his back and joints. My dad who is 78 had a minor cold and aches thats it for about 8 days. My sister in law felt similar to my brother proper flu and cough symptoms but she has bad nausea. Its a fucked up virus. We all caught the same one.
Im even more careful now than b4, my booster will be delayed as my immunity is high so not point having it till Jan time but i will have it 100%

I didn't fully appreciate how much it sucked till i got it myself. But at least I'm alive!
So over it now tbh, its draining.

Sorry that you're still suffering from the after effects, Dee, but glad you're over the main infection and still here to talk about it.

I haven't even had it but know full well that it's a truly toxic chunt of a virus. Sure, most will just shake it off but there are many, many people who won't. Without even getting in to the dead; long Covid; organ damage; CNS damage; peripheral nerve damage; crossing the blood/brain barrier and brain damage.

We're going to be picking up the pieces for a very long time to come, imho.

Depending on the amount of D3 you are taking, you really should be taking vitimin K2 as well to stop calcium build up in your arteries.

Not sure I'll be up for taking a "vaccine " every 3 month's. It's bad enough the flu vaccine has to be taken once a year (if you want it). The many vaccines I had as a child haven't needed to be topped up so why this one ! [emoji848]

That's not too high. I take 4000iu over the winter so take K2 . I have Familial hypercholesterolemia so may have problems with clogging arteries anyway so take k2 just incase.

Honestly don't know mate.

Starting to think about moving to the Antarctic.

I think we've been incredibly spoilt for our lifetime. Not that far back to WW2, WW1, Spanish flu, colonial wars, plague, pre- antibiotics, etc. Think we're just getting a slap in the face with reality. Abuse and screw with nature and don't be surprised if nature bites back.

Was really interested to learn from Zou that the current flu is a variant of Spanish flu. Climate change, antibiotic resistance, viruses, human nature in general - I don't see a bright future for mankind and I'm glad I won't be around to see the shnitz show I forsee on mankind's horizon. Can delay it, but the piper always needs paying in the end.

Yeah, I'd choose alaska over the south pole [emoji23]
I'm just glad I'm old enough to perhaps only have 20 year's left in me. [emoji6]

Kid's a step. I'm so disgusted I'm even taking my seed with me.

Mankind can have at it.
