Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Possibly put off by reports of pain etc after booster jab.
No noticeable difference from earlier jabs for me.

First AZ jab I was ill for 36 hours with a fever and flu type symptoms - so bad I didn't even want a brandy. 2nd AZ jab I had no reaction and didn't even have a sore arm. Moderna booster was sore arm and feeling a little bit blurgh for a couple of days but nowhere near like I felt for the 1st AZ.

The above is in no way a complaint or an argument against the vaccine, simply how I felt after them. I know some people that were far worse than me after their jabs and some who sailed through with no side effects at all.

I didn't have any reaction at all to any of my 3 jabs but I'm an old git so perhaps I'm already dead:eek:

Same here, though arm was not so much 'sore' as 'noticeable - and only around jab area'.

This is exactly the same as my wife and I as well as everyone else we know. The only bigger side effects I have heard of are from people on here - certainly a non-issue with people st the golf club.
 
Son just tested positive, just phoned in laws to say another Christmas Day they have to spend alone - I’ve had better days
 
My mom back in South Africa tested positive today. She’s 70 and not in showroom condition. Smoked most of her life and is pretty social so enjoys a few beers with her mates. But she isn’t overly worried about it in this version.

She can’t understand why Europe and the UK in particular (3 of her kids are over here) are going nuts over this variant.

Fingers crossed it's only mild for her. Can she be sure that she's got Omicron? All well and good to say that it's (possibly/probably) less deadly than Delta but there's still an awful lot of Delta going around that people are still catching.

Omicron but if it was Delta it wouldn’t matter. She’s well old and had a decent life. If it all goes wrong and she pops it then it’s just tough luck.
 
I’m baffled. Last week I did 2 LFT tests showing positive, and I’ve been curled up in bed since Friday. Had a PCR test done which have now come back negative.

Did another LFT test this morning which directly showed a strong positive.

I thought false positives from tests would be the other way around, with PCR-tests being more sensitive and picking up in the virus even after you recovered.

Sure it wasn’t testing if you’re a muppet. That would come out strongly. :p

Oh, and you could at least pretend to care about your mum.
