Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[bobmac]

Just had my first dose - brilliantly organised at Taunton Racecourse so I backed a winner there.

But I am experiencing what they call "Grease side-effects". As in I've got chills, they're multiplying ... and I'm losing control ....

Just think if you drove home in an electric car, that would be..........

Unfortunately I broke down. I was stranded at the drive-in, branded a fool. I have no idea what they will think tomorrow at my former learning establishment ....

Electrifying

So 48 hours on from the jab, I was a bit sleepy most of yesterday with no appetite until the early evening then back to normal.
Scuppered a bottle of wine, feel great today, no after-effects at all.

I'm thinking I may have a virus or something as still feeling a bit ropey. Jab was Tuesday so doubt it's that still.

Had my jab three weeks ago and no side effects. My wife had hers two days ago and has an alleged craving for chocolate.

Not arguing, conversing...
Trust me, you'll know when I am arguing with you.

You might, sadly, think that what you are doing is "conversing," but you'd be wrong, you are arguing.
That seems to be the norm, these days, for argumentative people.
As to trust?

Alternatively, if we can have a variant that only infects people who behave negligent ...

Negligently...

Whatever, mon ami. I really couldn't care less if you trust me or not. But, unlike your doctor, I have read the data. Au revoir.

Could've put this in random irritations but as it's a bit covid related....

Spoke to one of my closest friends this evening and he is so down I am truly worried for him... He is a 'people person' loves/thrives interaction with others and that is the last thing available presently... Really want to jump on the train and head west to visit him and try and encourage him out of his depression... Tough times...

Personally...I'd visit him. I wouldn't think any the worse of someone not staying home to help a friend in need.

Does he have any family locally who could help?

After what happened to Dan's mate I'd have no hesitation than to jump on that train

My friend lives in Wales and their rules re travel are stricter than ours... I am not up to a four hour drive and would have to take the train... I will be keeping contact and do my best from a distance... Have alerted a few others, in our group of mates, of my concerns and they'll be calling without [hopefully] worrying him further of my concerns for his health... And, yes if it really comes to it I will find a way of getting there...

He's lucky to have such a good friend.

Yes, his sister lives fairly nearby and she is also has her concerns about my friend...
I am sure she is doing all she can especially with both my mates kids living abroad...

It sort of works both ways... He's been there for us especially when my better half was dealing with her 'issues' with cancer...

If you think things are not right with your friend then ignore the rules. These rules are meant to be there to protect people, if that’s not the case in your friends situation then they should not stop you doing what you feel is right.

Would a journey not be covered by "essential travel" to care for a vulnerable person?

I can't speak for anyone else.
I'm desperate to see my 89 year old father who lives alone, 130 miles away. Phone him every day. Just 7 days until I can go see him for a day of gardening and an outdoor haircut. First time since December. Golf can wait until Tuesday.
7 days to go. The end is almost in sight.
