Butch Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Spreading like wildfire in the UK. 3 ppl I know have tested + for the China virus already this month. NHS currently overwhelmed, many NHS trusts are on Black alerts with Zero capacity. Edited January 22 by Butch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Over new year’s in the village seemed like everyone had cold/flu of some sort or other. Not seen Mrs smiler so ill for a long time, certainly worse then when we all had covid. TBH I’m still not over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Had a flu shot last week. Late, but better late than never. Just now starting to feel back to "normal". In another month or so, heading back for another covid update. I really don't like the idea of being on my back for a week or more sweating, aching and miserable. --------------- That is why I have pretty much indoctrinated general covid habits (most of them were instilled long before covid). Avoidance of large crowds in closed in areas primarily, wearing of mask when can't be avioded (such as tranportation), updates on covid/flu shots. Generally has worked pretty much for me. And I don't miss the crowded venues whatsoever anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear through the jungle grapevine quite a few have Covid, it just doesn't make the headlines like it once did. Which is good thing, IMHO. Doing a news search I did find this article from yesterday. COVID-19 hospital admissions increase 12.9% during the past week COVID-19 infections in Thailand are on the rise, with 718 patients being admitted to hospitals between January 14th and20th. Of these, 11 have died, compared to four a week earlier, according to the Department of Disease Control. An average of 102 admissions were reported each day during the past week, an increase of 12.9%. Of the 718 admissions, 209 were suffering from serious lung infections and 149 required ventilators. ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis the cold/flu season, plus there's increase in people catching the latest variant of Covid. I'm still out walking and biking and the air quality hasn't really affected me. But then my respiratory system is in great shape after years of sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That crap is still floating around out there and mutating. I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing. And give myself a good kick once in a while to remind myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports are that while the virus is very infectious, it has mutated into a variant that has relatively mild symptoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. I guess similar to having a slight shart as opposed to a gut wrenching three day case of "the shits". 😗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as when I was there in December/early January. And I was coughing along with them. I still reckon the (main) cause is the air pollution.

People always coughed in an antisocial way, but we didn't really think how far those droplets could fly or how easily transfer could be made from hands to surfaces to us. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also made us more aware of how easily viruses can be picked up within the close confines of the bars and nightclubs we like to frequent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember us sitting in that bar in BKK, Soi 4. You were telling me you were feeling like shit. Bar was jammed. We were talking about how it seemed like a lot of people were coughing. I was there for 3 nights then went back to Patts. The next day I started getting sick. Ended up with pneumonia, sick as f**k for two weeks. Two months later is when all the reports about covid came out. **** that was meant for @boydeste Edited February 6 by Glasseye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
