Re: Covid Vacs
John the test they carry out is to see if there are any traces of covid not just temperature, I have a gadget that takes your temperature and she is fine and does not seem to have any symptons of covid, today have received through the post another test kit which has to be sent to lab to be tested and will receive a reply to say whether pos or neg within 72hrs by email or text. so will have to wait and see.

Hi Lewis.
That Yahoo news is the biggest load of old Bolex I have ever read, it comes up after I have been on my email, today Victoria has had 1,700 Covid cases overnight, all their stories are outlandish rubbish.

Re: Covid Vacs
Lewis, here in Victoria we are still getting about 1100 cases a day, but hospital numbers including those in ICU are falling fast.
NSW is doing about 250 a day.
But here is one for you.
Good friend of my niece in London, a lady of just 64 but with very bad diabetes was taken into hospital in an effort to reduce some swelling caused by fluid retention.
She was told you can go home in the morning.
But that night she was taken bad, had while in the hospital contracted Covid.
Within two days she was dead.
It was not the virus that did her directly, rather the fact that the fluid situation was so bad the virus was able to take over her lungs to the point that for her last day she could not speak.
This lady had been double jabbed before hospitalization.
But it goes to show that even if vaccinated there is still danger if you have serious underlying health issues.


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

Re: Covid Vacs
My experience with our hospital Cappy, is they are very good, they have security at the door, no visitors, no entry for patients until just before your appointed time. The problem as i see it , is its the outside of hospitals that is the cause of the problem, ie people not being sensible, masks, hand gell, mixing with others etc. The hard work comes when she comes home, cos its me cooking , washing etc, dusting, jesus i,m knackered just thinking of it, lol
