I’m telling you, covid 20. Get ready for lockdown 2024 and a new vaccine drive 😂

 

i jest but don’t 

They can fark off with any vaccine after being carted off to hospital with a suspected stroke after the last one! Was put on medical records as “unexplained” as they won’t admit there is anything wrong with the vaccine 🤐

I’ve had the cough for weeks, probably closer to Two months. Had two lots of blood tests, nothing showing up. 

I spoke to a old doctor ( his 80 ) last year after I had something which blood tests showed nothing, his reply was they want find it if they aren't testing for it, I thought about what he said and he maybe right because 8 years ago under went test to find another problem and they took 8 fills of blood out of me but the test last year they only took 3.

I went to the doctor, he sent me to the nurse for bloods, went back to see the doctor on his request, another appointment to see the nurse for more bloods, high iron in my blood, shocking considering I drink most evenings! Apart from that nothing to report. Winter flu bug about?

Christ I wouldn't say no to all those grants/cheap loans/lack of traffic(50mph along the Embankment in a Discovery 3 on the way home from a job,  yes please)/massive busyness,  I could do with a new digger please! 😆 🤣 😂 

 

(Tongue firmly in cheek (kind of) before anyone who lost someone or genuinely had a hard time of it gets their knickers in a twist or gets upset)

Whole family has now been ill for 5 weeks with a relentless cough that won’t quit. Everyone I speak to locally says people round them are dropping like flies. I remember similar happened tail end of 2019 and we all know what happened next.

 

covid-20 coming to a city near you early 2024, you heard it here first!

 

I had that, covid in the November before they invented it. I don't usually suffer from such things but that one knocked me about. As far as I know I have never actually had covid.

 

I've got the cough now, had it for a 10 days or so. Not ill, still working but coughing til I can't breathe at times. Was a bit worried at first following the radiotherapy on my throat earlier in the year but seems much more like a cold now so nothing abnormal for the time of year etc.

Had a routine visit to the consultant on Monday. Cancelled because she was "not feeling very well", said it was OK because nor am I.

Since I started with Wrightbus, which firm is shipping in Filipions by the planeload, I have been afflicted by the Philipino flu"(or so I christened it) about 3 times, sneezing my head off and a bit snottery/chesty, I was not off work, though I slept a lot at home. There was chat about Covid, and I was pleased to note any comments I heard were to the effect, "meh, Covid, tis the new flu" so live wi it.

Just to comment, despite getting up at 04:00, to travel significently furthur, to physically work longer hours, for less pay, and fewer benefits.

I am enjoying working on a private sector shop floor, MUCH more than I ever enjoyed working to the Council. Due to the entirely different attitude of the workers.

Sad but true.

Indeed but I don’t think they will manage to fool the population like that again tho.

Some they will sadly. Some are still going for their boosters
