alta-pete Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I’ve had Covid four times. First time it buggered up a birthday trip to Fuerteventura which still grates on me. Some (minor) strange things going on with my heart, digestive and respiratory systems now that I think may be covid related but the doctors put down as more lifestyle/ageing related. (ie stop drinking ya fat mess). Definitely not going out as much, entertaining friends at home most weekends. Lacking motivation at work and self destructively piling more stress on myself for not getting shit done. Need to break that cycle sharpish but fear it could now be the New Year before I’ll action it. Went for my flu/covid jabs yesterday but someone had taken not well in the health centre; it was queued out the door so mission aborted and to be rearranged. On the plus side, moved house to a more rural position, the dog is getting his legs walked off him and my 6-month average step count is about to break the 10k/day barrier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Had Covid twice, first time wasn’t too bad second time felt horrendous and was ill for 3/4 days. Everyone else in the family came through pretty much unscathed, my nephew was born in the middle of the first lockdown so was brutal not getting to see him for a while. Moved out of my parents house and bought my own flat in May last year. Lockdowns and pubs being shut helped the savings to achieve this Got no motivation at work whatsoever, been actively looking for another role but nothing excites me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During Covid we were getting double time overtime, plenty of time to work since I had nowhere to go and nothing to do and no money getting spent down the pub every weekend finally got me enough money to buy a flat so in that sense it worked out well for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like the experience has permanently changed people's views of work though. I thought it might all go back to complete normal but it's pretty clear that hasn't happened with companies and organisations all struggling to get people back into the office again. Public services are particularly struggling in this regard although England seems to be much more affected than Scotland. Glad to see the masking nonsense seems to be pretty much gone - even in hospitals. My old opticians is still indulging in OCD behaviour, forcing everyone to use hand gel at the door.....for an airborne virus.... Other than that though, things are thankfully back to almost normal for me. It's beginning to look like mass restrictions and masking mandates are going to be a thing of the last now. Governments now know that it might be piss easy to introduce restrictions and scare the shite out of the public but the reality is that recovering from that is the hard bit. Next time they'll think twice about making the same mistakes. You must frequent the tiniest bubble imaginable if you don't know anyone who has contracted Covid. Either that or you are a liar, or at the trolling. Possibly both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The number of people that claim to not know a single person who has ever caught Covid must be absolutely minuscule.

There are some days when I'm truly struggling and finding it hard to adapt and emotional. Then others when I'm ok to good. I am taking it upon myself to avoid watching the news on TV, but looking at news stories for a few minutes on the internet. I'm lucky that I've just been promoted at work so I have some work to do from home (not much but it's something, and colleagues are coming to me for advice). This gives me purpose and routine to my day. I'm also going out for walks to the local park to combat Cabin fever. For anyone struggling. Please keep strong WOW! 2 and a half years on. I got through it. Caught COVID once at the start of this year and was off for 10 days. It didn't effect me it particularly bad. But Mrs atfccfc got a tougher bout of it. As soon as we could get to football again I went to as many games as possible last season and have gone on two holidays as soon as it was possible to easily do, without all the testing etc. Still ignore the news and pick and choose what stories I read about. It has definitely helped with my mental health. Life is ok to middling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who tells me in recent times that they’ve had it , my first response is ‘How did you find out it was Covid? I usually find out that they have a massive stockpile of Covid kits from earlier times. Pathetic!! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still vulnerable people about - not everyone is able to be vaccinated, I know a woman who isn't allowed to have it - and if we have a GP/hospital appointment we always take a test. Luckily we've a stockpile of test kits... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'd shut this thread to be honest as it's almost certain to turn into an exact replica of the Covid thread with the same people pushing their agendas. It's why I and the vast majority of folk stopped posting in that bin fire a long time ago.This isn't a thread for pushing a C19 agenda or opinion, keep that to the thread already running. This is purely about how folk are feeling now that things are returning to normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is purely about how folk are feeling now that things are returning to normal. Trouble is that things aren’t returning to normal. So many undiagnosed serious diseases are now coming out of the woodwork showing that the so-called cure was worse than the disease. As I recall you were an apologist for the repressive policies meted out by the UK and SG’s. I can well understand why you are keen to dismiss the terrible damage which was done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
