International News Covid-19 .....

I know you missed it...................... Been away for a while in the wilds of Dorset!

Back to the grindstone....
Local City numbers:
20,901 tests in the last 7 days
1,000 positive cases in the last 7 days.
100 positive patients admitted in the last 7 days.
164 positive inpatients.
4 deaths in the last 7 days within 28 days of a positive test.

Certainly not gone away by any stretch.
In other news the community testing sites are being wound down and we are probably looking at "Test & Trace" as we currently know it being gone by May but still existing in some form.

Most PCR testing sites around these parts will be gone by Thursday.

Get your LFT`s ordered while they are still free.

Might need to do that.
Found out today I’ve tested positive. Looks like I got it from the Greengrocer at the Tuesday market.
symptoms were feeling cold, then hot. Coughing a lot. Headaches many times.
My best man had similar symptoms but said they were gone in a few days.
Taste and smell seem unchanged though

Meanwhile mum/sister to son/brother at the other end of the A420.....

That’s pretty definite about the Greengrocer, what were you doing with him/her then?


Hope you’re ok, lots of people I know have it at the mo and all relatively mild.

I know many who have had it recently. I am doing OK…just hope my wife doesn’t get it as she has had a recent stroke.
Strange when you wake up in the morning and feel like you have wet yourself, not that I have had much sleep recently.
Hoping to make the Doncaster game. I’m determined to

Is that allowed?

Doesn't work anyway. Wifey's NHS and she's been unable to order them on a number of occasions.

 

[Essexyellows]

Ordered yesterday - delivered today.

Its not illegal....

Its not illegal....

Although it might deprive NHS workers of much needed test kits, but who gives a f**k eh.

For many these kits have not been available for a couple of weeks in practice.

Ever wondered why the NHS is short of cash?

Men asked by some hospital trusts if they are pregnant before having scans

Some hospital trusts are asking men if they are pregnant before undergoing scans, it has been reported.

It does sound stupid but it is part of the gender v sex debate that is a bloody minefield that I don't profess to understand. However, that aside, how does this waste money of any meaningful amounts?

Finally caught it after two years. Stag do coming back from Krakow, all but one of us got it. Just a mild cold, can still taste and smell. Just a bit tired.
