Bairnardo Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Had my first confirmed shot of covid this week. Meh. It's annoying, that's for sure, and being unable to taste is a crippling blow. I need this to return before offering confirmation that covid is indeed, a bit shan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they wear masks and have a tonne of other theatre measures, so I'm sure that will stop it spreading like wildfire. Oh wait, no, it's already spreading like wildfire. There must have been a mask malfunction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Apparently China just realised, a year after it was pretty obvious to everyone, that Omicron really isn't worth worrying about and should be treated as normal flu or a cold. Bizarre that it's newsworthy to report people are '"feeling sick". I must have missed the STV news crew knocking on my door when I missed a couple of days work last week with a nasty cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I can report that Thailand is still all masked up, except me and my 2 younger kids it seems. 1st July, the government dropped the mandatory wearing, nothing changed. Then again put a statement out on 1st Nov, nothing changed. Folk are completely brainwashed. We still have people on TV wearing them, news readers for a starting point. In the studio. I was a museum the other week with my 2 wee ones. We had to sign in and get our temperature taken at the front door. Never done anything like this from July. As we started our tour someone came running up to us and asked to put a mask on. I told them we don't have, she just walked away....about 30sec later a security officer started following us for the rest of the tour...at the end I turned run and asked him 'Was that fun?' There was no other people in the museum apart from me and the 2 kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My d-i-l caught it in June 2020, taste still not back. And she's had it another twice since then. I got it at the beginning of October for the first time, tbh it wasn't as bad as some colds I've had before now. Rough nose/throat and really tired for a couple of days but that was it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 I am completely recovered from Covid, was just really tired for a few days, had a fever for less than a day. One thing that has lingered is that I keep getting the smell of cigarette smoke, like when someone smoking walks past you in the street. It's really odd and apparently has been reported in people who have had Covid. What a strange thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Quite incredibly, my dentist still has the waiting room closed, and won't let you in the building without standing at the door and phoning them. Ideal when it's winter, your appointment is at 2, they have lunch 1-2, and the reception is unmanned as a result. It's so out of kilter with everywhere else, including the doctor's I was in yesterday which was functioning 100% normally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also noticed that more often than not it is an asian person who is the occasional mask wearer in public over here A question for the P&Bers in Asia, are people there that much more worried about getting sick or is it more a case of collective societal pressure and no one wanting to be “ that “ person who doesn’t wear their mask? or something else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
