Covid again

Yes my daughter and one grandchild have had it twice, I know quite a few people who have, not for some time though, hope you recover soon.

I've been flattened with it for over a week ,much worse than the last bout and I cant shift the cough.The only places I've been in the lead up to it were the supermarket where I still keep a distance and the GP surgery for an ongoing issue.I think thats where I caught it,no masks now in medical facilities s the GP could well have been treating someone who was incubating it or who had it but didn't let on .

Lots of people have had it twice, my youngest and three of my grandchildren have had it twice and one of my grandkids has had it three times Just like ordinary flu you can get it more than once
However I was with four relatives for a whole weekend they all went down with it and I didn’t so only can presume the latest spring vaccine kept me free
Get well soon

DD had covid twice last autumn, both times after travelling for work. Strange how people start getting it after being fully vaccinated when managing to avoid it previously.
SIL and I are the only ones not to have had it at all.

DS has had it four times over the past few years. He's in a very public facing job so probably unavoidable.
I came down with a feverish cold this week and tested myself. It's been so long since I last tested that I had to read the instructions again. Tested negative so just a cold but the first one since before Covid.

I had it twice with no symptoms, but now wonder if I suffer with long Covid because of aching legs and pins and needles all over albeit not painful but irritating 🤔

I've just come out of my second bout of covid. I agree with Paddyanne, this time it was much more severe than the first time. I am fully vaccinated.
As well as the usual flu symptoms I also had sickness and upset stomach, and the cough was worse than the first time.
No idea where it came from. I hardly go out and never to the shops, but it was me that caught it as my husband followed on a few days later.

Since the start of Covid OH has had it 3 times and myself twice, some co workers have been off work recently too.
Covid is still around, mild for most so keep up the vaccination.

Unfortunately I am not fully vaccinated. I had an anaphylactic shock after the second vaccination of Astra zeneca so just wondering how bad this bout is going to go.

My daughter has had it 3 times despite being fully vaccinated, but she is a teacher facing a class of 30 students, many of them coughing. Twice she has been very ill, the 3rd time not quite so bad.

It's next to nothing now - and was never worth the unbelievable fuss made over it.

Ha CatsCatsCats - tell that to my friend who's in hospital, and to my daughter's ex boyfriend and his family. The boyfriend plus both his parents died.

It’s easy to be complacent if you haven’t been seriously affected by Covid but many giving evidence to the Covid enquiry have, and many including children are still suffering from long covid. I saw that Covid hospital admissions, which is a good barometer of circulating covid, has gone up this last week.
It will be interesting when winter sets in to see if there will be a major increase. At least we’re better protected now.

Sorry for every who has Covid and had it and suffering long Covid.

I have been exposed to Covid a number of times but so far haven't had it. Because of my health I have to do a Lateral flow test every week plus if I feel unwell not related to health problems. I am full vaccinated and will have the booster when it's offered. No idea why I haven't had it as my daughter says I am a prime candidate for it. 😂. She and my grandson's had it once and my son in law twice.

But no doubt my luck will run out one day. But that's life.

Sparkle fizz - your comment is not only entirely inaccurate but extremely irresponsible.

SARS Covid is a serious (that's what the first ‘s’ stands for) respiratory disease that can cause serious neurological and vascular damage. It can also permanently damage the immune system.
Even ignoring the deaths due to Covid recorded currently (which are similar to earlier in the pandemic, just not reported widely) the number of excess deaths is still high.

The vaccinations received by most people in the UK were so long ago that they’re no longer offering any protection and the so called herd immunity has never happened due to the constant mutation of the virus.

Worldwide over the last 2 - 3 years the figures for life expectancy have fallen, for the first time in more than 50 years. There has been an increase in the incidence of cancers, childhood diabetes, children's deaths……the list goes on. I wonder what on earth could be causing this?

Yes, and I've lost a son-in-law and two friends and am probably going to lose my Mum to cancer - all cases were not picked up during, and because of, the Covid hysteria.

Both my dds have had it twice and some friend have had it three times. It seems to me that there’s been a bit of an upsurge in the past month or so. I hadn’t heard of anyone with Covid since earlier in the spring but it’s suddenly reappeared amongst friends and family in the past month.

My dd is a medic working in A&E and her hospital trust said she could come into work even though she had Covid so long as she wasn’t running a temperature. As it was, she didn’t feel well enough to go in but I was quite shocked at that.

Suedonim, that is because so many have it and sparkle fizz is almost right, it is a becoming just a nuisance now ……. Unless you are suffering a lot it seems it’s a matter of put a mask on ( maybe) and carry on. What my belief is, is that we all have to beware everyone else and continue to practice good hygiene because it’s contagious and continuing to mutate hopefully diluting.

I find it shocking SueD that your dd was advised to work with covid. There may be several vulnerable people visiting A&E. If they are so short staffed that they require staff with Covid to work then it disgraceful and can’t be ethical.

I don’t think it’s just a nuisance for those who are being admitted daily to hospital who are very ill with covid dogsmother. My belief is that we should try and be mindful of others, not just ourselves.

Goodness, that's awful Sparklefizz - the whole family dead from the virus. It must have been very upsetting for your daughter.

As for that comment - I usually completely ignore those type of dismissive, sweeping generalisations about Covid (or anything else for that matter).

Hope your friend is soon able to leave hospital - she must've been poorly to be admitted as they prefer you to recuperate at home.

Read her post again - I think you have your wires crossed.

Cats cats cats , my husband and I have just had it, both of us are vaccinated but both were extremely poorly with a horrible cough which 5 weeks in my husband still has and I am constantly exhausted . We were due to go on holiday but delayed it . What concerns me is the Covid line is telling people to not worry and go about your daily life 🤬

Cats how remarkably insensitive and untrue. I can only think you were being deliberately provocative..

BeverleyJB I think you owe me an apology for your wrongful accusation.
