Re: Masks (Covid)
there was a short clip on the TV a couple of nights ago, where the reporter walked through the ward, with the Doctor. As they went round with the Doctor, he pointed, unvaccinated, unvaccinated etc, for at least 6 patients in that hospital, and very ill with covid. Apparently a lot of these patients are from the middle east, and are very suspicious of vaccination, but when they are in bed and very ill, their suspicion vanishes, and they will take any treatment on offer. I suppose when these people go back home, unlike us if you visit say india, they don't have to have hepatitis , typhoid etc vaccination.

Saw the clip, and the patients all mentioned 'Thanks be to God I survived' no thanks to the Doctors, nurses, other medical staff who worked tirelessly for days also putting themselves in danger. No thanks to the public who funded the NHS to which the recipients laying in bed thanking their god in most likelyhood never contributed to. You see so many of these clips with people of a certain ilk being saved medically, fire or some other tragedy always thanked their god for saving them, no mention or thanks to the experts and volunteers who risked their lives to save the ungrateful recipient. Doubt it will ever change

Re: Masks (Covid)
John.
When I was four years old I had double Pneumonia, all from crashing! my tin boats and falling in the river too many times, I was seriously ill, since then I have had every jab available to humans, and have been lucky to avoid any disease, so your wife can take it from me I'm probably still here because of them.

Re: Masks (Covid)
The wife and I are both boosted. Even so, I tested positive for Covid and came out of it a week ago. One day of a high temp, and then it was mild and lasted ten days. Like having a cold, but it did not keep me in bed - I was writing most days. All the while this went on my wife tested negative and still does.
I'm left with a rattly cough, but have got the onion bed nicely planted up - apart from one wobbly row.
Where did I catch it? The only places that come to mind are the queue at the bank, or Scarborough hospital where I went for an eye examination - I rested my chin on the bar of three different eye testing devices. Somebody with covid might have preceded me.

Re: Masks (Covid)
It is hard to know where nay one gets it.
My brother got it even after two shots, works on his own for much of the time due to the nature of his job as a sparkie.
His daughter, our youngest niece got it without symptoms and only discovered when her boss, she works for a land rat, told all the staff they must be tested.
How many A symptomatic are out there maybe spreading it without knowing?
Latest figures here in Oz, 96% now had at least one dose, but still the number of daily cases goes on.
Hospital rates are on the downward spiral s are deaths.
But we will have to live with this in the same manner as the flu each year.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

#112 On a lighter note John, I hope it never gets so far as some excuses as of other diseases , of catching it off the toilet seat. JS

With apologies to the ladies, that would mean you would be farting not coughing.
