Donathan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I know a couple of people who have the so-called long covid What it means in practice is that some people feel a bit tired for a few weeks after testing positive or take a couple of months to get their taste and smell back. Absolute nonsense to suggest that this justifies restrictions on the population. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Managed to get a cold over Christmas, no big deal. Some people are utterly hysteric over a wee sniffle as if it's aids.It was probably Covid. That's how pathetic this new strain is. Not that the SG want you to believe that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 We no longer have a slight divergence between ScotGov and WM. It's a chasm. The media are starting to turn from "Give us more restrictions" to "get back to normal" Not a chance Scotland has restrictions until April whilst England does absolutely nothing. Something has to give. The challenge for the SG is how to save face and try to retain a sliver of credibility. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not comparing it to the flu , just saying that the reality of some folk taking longer to recover from viral infections has been around as long as viral infections .

Probably any major changes would be announced on Tuesday 11th once Parliament is back" Not addressing anything this week (with particular emphasis on their findings from "interrogating the data") would only cement the belief that they are deliberately withholding the detail that does not support their actions. Putting the boot into football, events, and the hospitality sector over their most profitable period of the year, failing to come up with the promised support package in a timely manner, then essentially running away from the matter is completely unacceptable. They would react with complete indignation if WM behaved like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the NHS are having these very discussions right now, old man. 1 hour ago, MP_MFC said: Scottish numbers: 3 January 2022 Summary 20,217 new cases of COVID-19 reported* 65,860 new tests for COVID-19 that reported results* 34.9% of these were positive 38 people were in intensive care yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 1,031 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 4,383,212 people have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination, 4,017,051 have received their second dose, and 2,992,583 have received a third dose or booster I assume this covers the last 3 days? Bit of a jump again in hospitalisations but still no breakdown. I'd be very confident in saying ~40% of those hospitalisations are incidental, given what we know. As has also been stated, ICU numbers are still remarkably stable given the explosion of 'cases'. This is truly descending into an utter farce. Get these restrictions turfed into the bin once the 'three weeks' are up (I'd do it now) and get all remaining nonsense theatre in the bin by Easter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense to suggest that this justifies restrictions on the population. I don't consider myself to have long covid, but to suggest that it's "feeling a bit tired" is a bit of an over simplification. My resting heart rate is still significantly higher than it was pre-covid, some months after having it. I can't do the level of excercise I am used to. In fact, I was happy to do a 40mile loop on the bike today as that's the longest I've managed since, when pre-virus a bike ride would normally be 70-90 miles. Given how differently the virus plays out in people, it's not a stretch to think that the lasting effects will to. Certainly for some, it goes beyond "a bit tired for a few weeks". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Covid in 2020 and it took me about 2 months to feel better, constantly tired with no sense of smell, I now have a very strange sense of smell with a lot of things smelling "sour" if I can phrase it that way, otherwise I'm absolutely fit and well with no tiredness . Of course my age may be hindering my sense of smell returning that or I've smelled to may funky things over the years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone when it is clear from everywhere they have been implemented that they're fucking pointless.
