A work colleague claims to have had COVID whilst working in Italy in Oct 2019. She seems to genuinely believe that. She is an over-weight smoker that had breating problems and blames it on COVID. In every aspect, we should not judge the world via our own experiences. We should rely on science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Hoping to be helpful to those afflicted with Covid phobia or are simply still worried about going out. According to news (sorry can't remember which channel) predicted Covid hospital admissions (worse case scenario) amounts to 10 people per hospital. So is that really so bad or going to overwhelm the NHS? Deaths of Covid sufferers are now rare. The rising infection rate includes all people who have tested positive, (a figure which is notoriously unreliable) not the number who have reported to a hospital or even the doctor, therefore many are suffering only mild symptoms. These are mainly (but not exclusively) young people who have not been vaccinated. So if you've had your jabs you should be OK, and you're free to wear a mask if you wish. Life has to carry on so enjoy it. Edited July 20, 2021 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article actually says mid way through the problem had been resolved - the mirror just decided to print the headline anyway. it’s almost like they have a political agenda.
