“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else — if you run very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”

“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

[Lewis, Through the Looking Glass]

My timeline of testing

Workplace offered me a free pcr test so got 30 minutes off to do that, got the results of my test back 5 days ago which was negative,

Suspected something might be up with me a couple of days ago no real symptoms but you know when youre body feels like its coming down with something, took a rapid antigen test again negative.

Not convinced by the results took another yesterday, I was a bit achey results came back clear as day I was carrying the plague.

For work reasons I took a pcr test about an hour ago at a covid testing drive through, place was rammed with people, if the rest of the country is like that were well beyond locking down, this is going to run through the population wether we like it or not.
All in all testing place was excellent with a turnaround time of a couple minutes per person.

Actually surprised the government/nhs got something right.

 


The mountains are calling & I must go.

Yep, the test site in Coulsdon is run very well. It’s a shame that doesn’t translate into getting test and trace to work which was an expensive shambles.

Apparently Omicron gives you runny nose, headaches, fatigue, sneezing and sore throat.......the missus reckons she's had Omicron for thirty years.

I’m presuming mine is Omicron, started with night sweats and runny nose, then dry cough, sore throat sneezing and stuffy nose and now feels like a nasty cold with a bit of fatigue. I’ve had a lot worse to be fair.

Well then tell her that would be impossible because the variant B. 1.1.529 a SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern (named Omicron) has only been around for a matter of weeks, with the first known samples dating back to early November.

Sounds like an afternoon in the betting shop.

No surprise that the latest reports this week are now showing almost 90% of COVID patients currently in Intensive Care are unvaccinated.

That had started out as being in London hospitals but it now looks to being replicated across the country, as more data is being published.

It really isn’t difficult to understand that the risk of serious illness is much lower for a vaccinated individual than for an unvaccinated individual and also that the risk of transmission for a vaccinated individual is much lower than for an unvaccinated individual.

In other news the shocking revelation that most patients in hospital with lung cancer are smokers.

Surely you understand that most people who aren't vaccinated are well aware of the small increase in risk?

The fallacy is that because I hold one opinion you don't agree with you think it apt to connect it to others with which you don't agree.

No, I make two points. First, this specific pronouncement has been found to be incorrect. Largely that is because it was made before the vaccines were developed and was largely predicated on an assumption of vaccinations not being rapid or effective enough.

Second, this (non-medical) organisation has proved to be unreliable in prior announcements. The AIER has spread unreliable information about COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. In September 2020, it published a bizarre rant by its ‘Senior Resident Fellow’, George Gilder, who declared that the “Covid-19 crisis was already essentially over” by late April, based on a clearly inaccurate article that suggested “the spread of the coronavirus declines to almost zero after 70 days—no matter where it strikes, and no matter what measures governments impose to try to thwart it”.

But hey, keep searching for your holy grail of someone that is credible and also anti all the things that you are. If you find it then you will have outperformed every relevantly qualified medical scientist in the world.

Or stop believing in witchcraft and save yourself some time.

And presumably don't care about the effect they have upon others, such as hospital workers and those that need hospital appointments.

Do you also argue so vehemently against anti-smoking information?

By the way, the good news is there are now two more drugs that will save lives for you to inform others they should not be taking. I assume when you (inevitably) get Omicron you will not consider taking either Molnupiravir or Paxlovid. The arguments would be very similar to those about vaccines so definitely not a good idea for you to take them.

All I can say is poor you.

Participating in sex one to two times per week helps boost the immune system, according to research published in Psychological Reports. They found that people who had sex once or twice per week had a 30 percent increase in IgA (an antibody that shows how tough our immune system is) compared to those who don’t.
