Re: Covid Vacs
Back to serious,
My son took me to Hospital last Friday, I was absolutely stuffed, as it was shift change and the previous shift had cleared the ward I was pounced on by the nurses, tested nil for Covid, had x-ray's, blood tests, put on a drip, Dr said I had very little liquid in my body plus a small amount of Pneumonia in one lung. Gave me five tablets in a box $70 a box so he said I had better take them, one a day. I have been sick as a dog and cramping up, but now starting to recover. My son has been brilliant looking after us.

Re: Covid Vacs
Wearing masks for weeks prior to going overseas.
Masks all the way on aircraft there and back.
Sailing morning Terri said she did not feel so good, we had negative test prior to leaving, said she felt her nose was stuffed.
Took some serious nasal spray and I did a Covid test on her.
Came up with two lines, not possible, she is not pregnant.
Went to breakfast and two hours later did a second test which showed negative, think the nose spray effected the result of the first.
But we did hear there is a virus going around the UK which the medical profession are still not sure about.
Still wearing masks here in shopping centers etc as number appear to be high.
Only country that is as far as I am aware posting daily numbers.
But where are they coming from, 9500 today?
All testing stations here in Victoria are now closed!!
Overseas in Norway, Iceland, Ireland and London very few wearing masks and no one talking about the virus, not even on the media.
From my perspective here in Oz we are going over the top with it all.
Tested again today, negative.
But with tests now costing as much as $27.5 each do not think many will use them now.


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