I thought you sounded better. Hopefully you will soon. Have you sought treatment?Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 5:36 pmIt's been a week since I tested positive. Still have quite strong symptoms and also still tested positive this morning - which means I'm still infectious. Also the 5G isn't coming through very strong atm.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
My ILS worker tested positive for Covid, but I haven't seen her in 8 days. But my voice was coarse and raspy for a couple of days this week. Was this a mild case of Covid or a latent desire to play Brenda Vaccaro in an upcoming biopic?

Welcome to the Great Reinfection
A repeat encounter with Covid used to be a rarity. But now that Omicron has changed the game, expect reinfections to be the new normal.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
I haven't yet been infected, but I'm hoping that if (or when) I do, the 4 jabs will mean that it is relatively mild...

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Still waiting for my fourth jab here. Perhaps my recent dose will afford some immunity, though the reinfection rate is creeping up.

I've read that a combination of the immunity from a recent infection plus vaccinations is particularly good...Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 8:10 amStill waiting for my fourth jab here. Perhaps my recent dose will afford some immunity, though the reinfection rate is creeping up.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
I've read that too, but the reinfection rate is still climbing here. As I tested positive I have to wait 12 weeks before I'm eligible for another booster.

Omicron subvariant drives spike in cases and deaths in Portgual
A spike of Covid-19 cases and deaths in Portugal driven by the Omicron BA.5 subvariant in spite of warm temperatures is causing capitals across Europe to once again consider measures against a pandemic that has started to fade into public memory.
Portugal confirmed 26,848 new cases and recorded 47 Covid deaths on Wednesday – the highest daily death toll since 17 February, when 51 deaths from the disease were reported.
The trend contrasts with the pandemic situation in France, Germany, the UK and neighbouring Spain, where case rates have been declining for the last two months.
According to figures from the Portuguese health ministry, 1,455 people died from Covid as the country entered its sixth wave of the pandemic in April and May....

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
I really meant that the combination should be good for preventing serious illness, but it still seems to allow a fair chance of re-infection. Good for the individual, but re-infections, even with mild symptoms, help to keep the virus circulating in the population. In fact, if such infections are mild to the point of not being noticed, such cases will be spreading the virus in the community unknowingly...Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 10:36 amI've read that too, but the reinfection rate is still climbing here.
