Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Yes but had you stuck in during your statistics classes you would have been able to construct a model to accurately predict how many would show up for training on a rainy Wednesday evening when Fulham v West Ham is on the telly.

Don't need a statistics class to tell you no one is going to watch that through choice :oops:

I understand, if you are protected( I.e it's had time to take effect , like Ethan says above)!then, like the flu vaccine, the virus enters the body but the body's antibodies reject it and you hardly know it's happened?

It stops most from getting symptomatic Covid, and seems to reduce severity in those who get it (after it kicks in). The question of transmissibility is unanswered and difficult to answer, but it would seem likely that if it reduces propagation of the virus in people, it must have an effect on the amount of virus available to pass on.
 
60 Cases in Alness a tiny village in Rosshshire and 180 in Inverness yesterday. complacency and the ignoring of rules by some, we hadn't had a case since April in the Highlands

Fingers crossed she’s ok and only has mild symptoms Smiffy.

Naturally, it’s a worry when one of your loved ones has it.

Cheers Stuart. She seems "okay" and doesn't seem too worried about it. She's an NHS worker (Ambulance crew).
I've asked her to keep me posted. As you say, fingers crossed.
 
Really high here in numbers , small village and seems to have got to 112 people. Taking the average to 1100/100000 , wife’s result came back negative this morning and she has been fine since having no taste. We are staying completely in till it passes over, even if the golf course opens , I will not go out until we are a lot lower in the area.

Thats good news.

Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time I suppose with the job she does. Has she been offered the Vaccination yet?

So it appears that since the vaccination, and during the 10-14 days it takes for it to take effect, she has been infected?
I think that this aspect of vaccination has to be really hard publicised so that people take extra care.
In your daughters case though, that was almost impossible due to her job.
We really should appreciate these front line workers. Apart from the physical, tiring, aspect of the job, the stress must be hard.
Hope she is soon well.

She will get a hybrid natural/vaccine immunity then. It would be interesting to see if she has a mild case as the combined forces of her natural immune response and the vaccine reinforcements get to work together.

When she said "don't worry Dad, I'll be okay" I commented that thousands of others had most probably said that.
She came back with "yeah, but how many of those could deadlift 130kg?"

I suppose she's got a point
