OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

On that note, my friends father is in his 70s and tested positive. He is asymptomatic. That's the first oldie I've heard about getting it THAT mild. I believe it is day 2 or 3 after testing positive so he may be in the clear by now.

My cousin in her 30s is on day 6. The worst of it is over, just some residual congestion, brain fog/fatigue and scratchy throat now. But for the first 3 days of symptoms she called it the flu from hell. She was infected by OG covid in 2020 as well and was barely symptomatic.

And her husband got omicron milder than the wife but both say their experience in 2020 was more mild.

Anecdotally (and this would make sense considering how quickly vaccinated folks clear viral load) it seems that even for people with brutal symptoms they don't last nearly as long as unvaxxed folks.
 
I feel better today than I have in months... maybe no wedding planning, not covering for multiple people at work, sleeping in, going to bed on time and not being able to see other people offsets covid (if I have it)
 
CHR doesn't appear to be very different than past waves in London. Immunity playing the major role there, as opposed to a major reduction in CHR compared to prior variants. There are higher incidental hospitalizations this wave but not enough to impact things too much.

But maybe that's not the right metric to use to determine severity.



Something to watch!
 
Not to fuck with everyone's christmas zen, but a chat with a well connected business contact says that Dougie is quietly preparing an extended lockdown. My buddy has heard 8 weeks as the number fwiw but he wasn't as sure on that as he was on the lockdown bit.

Mockdown or actual lockdown?


(completely unsurprising btw.. our hospitals just won't be able to survive without doing something)

My father (late 60s, pre existing conditions) caught alpha covid … extremely mild… but still developed pneumonia and then developed LC symptoms and saw a significant drop in quality of life.

but - caught a few weeks before shot #1 so no prior immunity.

No details given, just what I shared. I didn't pry, it's one of my better clients so I was thankful for the heads up.
