Covid 19

I have upmost respect for you.

We have an 85 year old in our house who has a number of underlying health conditions and covid could have been detrimental to him. Both myself and the Mrs work with the general public so we got vaccinated and had no side effects. The kids wore masks in school and were positive about their reasons for doing it.

But like many people that age, our senior household member is impressionable comparable to a child. Before Christmas I brought him to the local vaccination clinic and there was a protest there. I had to wheel him 100 meters from the car to the door and the abuse that both he and I took from the protestors was sick. They told him that he was commiting suicide by going for the vaccine, held up pictures of people on ventilators, stuffed flyers into his wheelchair that contained lies and they video recorded us. By the time we got inside, he was so distressed that he was in no condition for getting a vaccine and we had to leave again and face the barrage of verbal abuse from the protestors outside again. He ended up having to get it from his gp the following week.
Those people were totally wrong.
I don’t mean to be flippant but a few mates and myself have come to the conclusion that most of the general public have something that no vaccine can protect and it is a terminal condition.
It’s called stupid.
If you have it your taking it to the grave
 
I got the covid vaccines and got covid Christmas last year. Like a mild dose of "man flu" couple of days all good.
Last Thursday I got a distress call from an elderly neighbour who had been poorly and fell. I had to assist until the ambulance arrived.
In hospital now with a few injuries and covid.
On Sunday evening I was stuck down with the
"man flu " starting to pull out of it this evening.
Haven't tested
I noticed my son 17 with a noticeable cough today.
Isn't it a hoor of a thing to spread.
 
Im still convinced i had covid the december before it was officially discovered. Was fierce shook for a few days. Nearly passed out one day on the tractor and yardscraper with a coughing fit. Cousin gave a week in hospital that time too with a mystery virus.

Got all the vaccines so far and dont think i got it since

I'm convinced I had it the February before too. Mega mega pain in my head and severe sweating, went to work got my laptop and somehow drove home that evening and ended up getting up during the night to change my bed sheets again. Absolutely zonked for most of a month but no one else got it.

Looking back now so many had similar around here and some ended up going to hospital that I wouldn't be surprised if Covid mutated from it like we see with all the variants.

Funny enough, I had some sort of a similar dose in December 2019 too. What stood out from a regular cold or flu was the night sweats. Dripping.

Paracetamol and Nurofen were great at helping relieve the sweats when I had that bast*rd of a dose. I wasn't bad with it and there was only one day I wasn't able to do the foddering. It was the tiredness for a few weeks afterwards that I found far worse.
 
It hasn't gone away. A few locals who never got covid and had health issues in hospital with it atm. One very seriously ill. There was a senior citizens trip away for a few days 2 weeks ago and a good few positives after it.
 
Bit of it around here too lately,I had something like It myself a few days ago,runny nose and felt tired/shook but nothing serious

Plenty of kids in school have it too, they don't have to stay at home for any more than a day or so either.
 
Sister in-law tested positive a few weeks back,she’s a nurse so still testing,got something similar run through the family this last week,sore throat coughing and tiredness,oh was googling pneumonia she felt so bad.
 
There's a serious chest infection doing the rounds. My own mother was hospitalised with it. It doesn't test positive for covid. All the neighbours around had it. One neighbour died very recently from it in hospital.

Back a few weeks ago I just mentioned my mother was in hospital at the ag store and a neighbouring farmer remarked it was from all the vaccines. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and all that. But the folks got their notice for a repeat covid jab. They feel they've had enough of the covid vaccine at this stage. Thinking is they've been well jabbed from it and are mixing with people to still have some immunity.
 
I wonder what percentage of parents had their kids vaccinated? , presumably it was relatively low ? as by the time those under fifteen were encouraged to go for it, the pandemic was on its last legs

I know nobody who brought their children for it

We didn't but they all had covid by the time the vaccine was available to them.

Ours all did by their own choice, at the time 3 under 15 and 1 over
 
I got the first 2 primarily to allow me to socialise, you needed it to get in anywhere during the table service/€9 pizza nonsense. We had no one particularly susceptible in our house, my grand aunts, uncles and grand parents are all deceased.

I decided against the boosters due to getting COVID after the first two and the vaccine having took a lot more out of me than the virus did. My parents got 1/2 boosters I believe. I was flattened for 2 days after taking the second shot. Had a tickly cough for a few days when I had COVID. On day 8 after testing positive, I ran 5k out on the backroads and was fine.

Are they still offering boosters to people now? I haven't heard of anyone getting it lately.
