Glasseye Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Sorry to burst all the bubbles, but.... It's mutating and surging back, big (Worldwide). There's not much in the news yet. But I would predict within a couple weeks or so we will begin to start seeing more and more reports about it. I hope they get a handle on it, but I'm realistic. Buckle up guys.

Derek Dangleberries Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I was thinking the same when I heard that a few Olympic competitors were hit by it .. Let's hope we are just left for our bodies to deal with things as and when it happens without Lockdowns.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood13 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Reported a few days ago in Sacramento: "COVID wastewater levels are at their highest ever summer mark, and just a hair below winter peaks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazle Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I wonder how many people are prepared to have another Covid mRNA jab? I, for one, won't be having it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 It has ripped through our Town a month or so ago. Pretty sure I had it and passed it on to my Welsh mate whilst fishing together for a week or so. He started to get the sniffles the last couple of days. Went home and progressively got worse until it put him in bed with bad flu conditions. He tested positive. I tested negative, but assumed I was over it. Whether I gave it to him or not, I must of had it having spent so long together. I got covid in the Phuket sand box just after receiving my 3rd jab. All I had was a slight cough, but tested positive. So for me, I believe the vaccine has done its job. I am fully jabbed up for flu and covid and will do the same this year when offered. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 For sure I won't be buying a flight ticket 6 months in advance anymore but waiting until a few weeks before I fly.. Not necessarily if it gets cancelled, but bugger if I'm getting on a plane with a mask on and with no wine service ... 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really knocked me out with few symptoms but a cough. I will check up on combined covid/flu shots and take if available annually. I don't have any fear of hospitalisation through either of these viruses but i would be confident that a reputable vaccine would be a nett positive action.

fygjam Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 The third vaccine to complete the trifecta is RSV. RSV, another respiratory infection, it can have severe consequences for the very young and the more mature adult (60yo+). One of those consequences is death. A RSV vaccine (Arexvy) became available in Australia this year, it may have been available elsewhere earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Given the new UK Labour Govt was the one mad keen to have longer and harsher lockdowns, nothing would surprise me. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 I go for an update booster next week. Begin wearing a mask in crowded places or avoid all together. Easy action. Just wait it out again. And if I get isolate, treat and take care of myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
