    Just seen a report that says covid cases have now peaked in the UK and have fallen for the second week in a row which must be good news.

    KT53, I am 27,of course (I will actually be 37tomorrow. Posted a couple of months ago, I hadn't had a Covid symptom or positive test. I am in a 5 year Covidence study,gave blood tests. Hadn't had a cough or cold for over 15 years, actually a lot longer than that. Grandkids have stayed, been ill, we've all tested, they have gone down with it several times,and their mum . Last month after MUCH deliberations,we got a puppy,THEN Covid!!! I had flu once followed by pneumonia, but this was FAR worse! Felt really ill 3 days,then one symptom went, another appears. Two full weeks before we started feeling better. Fully vaccinated. Daughter and other granny who has bad asthma both said the first time is the worst. Hubby has hypertension and I was diagnosed with a tumor in May, have read that both these things can make Covid nastier.

    The Gov Uk site says this COVID is very difficult to diagnose as it’s the same as an ordinary cold now.  I think today will be my last COVID jab.  I will continue with the flu jab.

    Are you sure?
    Just because the symptoms are the same, does not mean the disease course is the same.

    I'll be getting Covid boosters as long as they're available.  Ditto flu jabs.

    The only good thing to come out of the pandemic is that OH and I have not had a heavy cold since it started tho OH was a bit snuffly last week.

    And me. I was surprised to be offered a Covid  jab this year, but I jumped at the chance.

    I've just got to ask this, how many people are dying just from covid and no other illness?
