Probably pretty easy for him, tbf.
Between two grains.
Felt a bit rough for a couple of days (full of cold, achey, basically fluey) but feel a lot better today.
Still have my sense of taste/smell and didn't have to go to hospital with covid pneumonia.
Vaccine > Taz and Magic.
Great to hear, must have been a close shave, we were all worried.
When did you get your last vaccine?
I’ve also got Covid and it sucks. Not sure if it’s second or third time but it’s sods law that I’m fighting fit for months and months when I have no plans beyond work and family boring shite, but in the week where I’m meant to be going out for my mates retirement on the Friday and going the races on Saturday I test positive for Covid.
Feel very achey and generally worn out, along with cold systems like a cough and runny nose. My daughter has also tested positive but has no symptoms. My wife and son tested negative.
Started yesterday. What are the chances I’m producing negative tests (and feel better) by Friday evening?
Feeling better, decent chance. Negative tests, highly doubt it.
Surely we're at the stage with this now where feeling better is enough to crack on with life?
I'm in a different situation to most on here because I work from home but the only time I'd test now is if I'm seeing an elderly relative. For all other stuff, if I'm well enough to go somewhere then I'm definitely going and certainly not testing.
I have to test negative for work, which I think is not unreasonable.
If I was meeting someone who I feel I should be careful around I'd probably just postpone it and I'd let friends know (I doubt they'd care, but fair to do so), but I can't imagine taking a test again.
EDIT: Unless I had to, like in RL's example.
Does your workplace pay for your testing kits?
https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus...ral-flow-tests
I can order them from here for free.
Yeah, no way I'd bother with testing either unless forced.
Also:
I decided to not follow the rules and teach without a mask today, like the proper rebel I am. If you don't hear from me again, I am in Covid jail.
Ship the bastard to China.
So basically you have a cold. Just crack on.
Finally tested negative today. Still feel like garbage but maybe being miserable after missing all my plans are a contributing factor there.
I'm a twit
The last one should be a tick too or you're saying that you didn't catch Covid and could have gone.
When does the jumps season start? @Baz
Next Tuesday innit?
I'm a twit
That'll do me.
Dr John is going full on NWO conspiracy.
Fucking hell.What would you even do at the World Economic Forum, John?
Fauci is 81? Fucking hell, has he been drinking from the fountain of youth?
Can’t stand this bloke. He’s a fucking nurse and deliberately calls himself Dr John to give himself more credibility. He chats a load of bollocks.
The return to masks lasted for three days. I am claiming an e-victory on this one.
Maybe he's had loads of the COVID vaccine?
Not a nurse! Has he no shame?
TTH should have sent a representative to the World Economic Forum. Probably Mahow.
Kiko went.
I don’t have a problem with nurses. If I remember correctly his channel name didn’t originally say doctor. He’s added it in to add credibility. It happens in healthcare sometimes and it isn’t right, especially when patients don’t know the difference between a nurse PhD and a physician.
After the cricket.
Dickhead doctor line incoming, but there's few things worse in healthcare than a nurse/midwife with a bit of knowledge they don't really have the education to understand.
No wonder doctors are hated in hospitals with attitudes like that.
Are they hated?
Got any good transfer roumers m8?
Here we go.
Actually what I initially said needs a further qualifier. It's the ones who have a bit of knowledge, don't really understand it but have absolute confidence they know more/better than anyone else and take every opportunity to share that with their patients.
Doctors who think they know more than nurses about nursing are equally bad, by the way.

I think it began with him as a curiosity and now it's a channel he has to maintain. So he has to keep coming up with things to discuss. Things that are outside his remit but, parasocial relationships being what they are, the audience demands he puts videos out. And without that, he's just an old retired nurse who never leaves the house.
Nah, if you've seen some other of his recent videos it's very clear he is playing to the mental cases and "just asking questions", while expertly skirting the (to be fair completely idiotic) Youtube guidelines on corona related content. I fully expect him to set up a Patreon where he "gives you his full opinion" shortly.
I know of midwives who don't think we should be allowed to do bloods to check for dehydration in breast fed babies because it might lead to us giving them formula milk (if they are severely dehydrated and need it in order to not die) which may interfere with breastfeeding and breastfeeding is sacrosanct.
In fact it's even more stupid than that, they think if we are doing bloods for something else (usually jaundice), the machine will also give us the numbers which tell us if the baby is dehydrated that these results should be removed/obscured for breast fed babies.
These are the sorts of things I'm talking about.

I've noticed that but I also think that's largely because of the comments section. Either he's more coming out with it now or he's playing to the comments section. It's rife with anti-vaxxers and 'YOU ARE DOING GOD'S WORK' nonsense. He always acts so squirmy when youtube slap his wrists.
Like a lot of Covid people from 2020, he enjoyed the fame and attention and is now doing whatever necessary to keep it going.
Youtube celebrities. Why would anyone expect anything but derangement?
Why are people even watching this shite?
I know a midwife that thinks Fabrizio Romano is Tier 1.
I didn't say they are always wrong.
To be fair he was quite good for seemingly factual advice when his channel took off, but if he's reached for his tin hat to keep the channel going (not sure if he has as I haven't watched for ages) then I'd agree.
I think everybody I know who has ever had prolonged dealings with NHS nurses carries a seething hatred of them.
The nurses I work with in paeds are almost universally absolutely brilliant.
Midwives are a 50/50 split between really nice and terrifying and also a 50/50 split between sensible and bonkers.
Nurses I worked with on medical wards were mostly good as far as I can remember.
Surgical nurses were a mixed bag and the only nurses I've ever got genuinely pissed off with were all surgical nurses.
