    Great effort to aftertime and pretend displaced mortality isn't a thing. Get the fuck outta here with your cheating.

    It does show though that's it's almost impossible to keep this thing out of a Western lifestyle country. If they can't manage it with their 12 people and remote status, no one else has a chance.

    Which is why, again, we need a new plan that doesn't involve periodically shutting everything down in perpetuity.

    To be fair, it's just until the vaccine is ready. Also worth remembering that life in NZ (and here in Vietnam) was completely normal for the 100 odd days prior. Day to day was back to pre-corona normality; sports, bars, domestic holidays etc, everything except for international travel. So yes, whilst another lock-down is annoying, it's a small blip that interrupts normal life (only in the cities involved). If we have to semi-lockdown for 2-3 weeks every 3 months from Feb-Dec, that's fine with me. If there was no vaccine in sight, I could understand the argument.

    I'm still not convinced there is a vaccine in sight. It's not outlandish to say we may never get one either.

    EDIT: And then you've got to get enough people to actually take it.

    Everyone's in the same boat of holding the tide back until the jab turns up. And East vs West doesn't matter. It's not like China made it vanish. They're pulling in 20 cases a day.

    It'll be interesting to see if the UK is even more full of anti-vax weirdos than I would have assumed.

    If the Russian one backfires, they'll have fuel for that fire.

    Not taking Russia at their word is common sense, not anti-vax.

    Russians are well known for being utterly transparent when it comes to injecting substances, it'll be fine.

    One of my cousin's has decided to study in Brunel this year. For some reason he's come over really early (came last week) and today Wizzair have told him someone tested positive on his flight.

    Will have to isolate for another few days and have a test booked today.

    I think I'm fine though, it's been a week and I have no symptoms.

    The PCR test is total violation. Apparently it used to be worse at the beginning of COVID too. Proper brain tingler.

    It was a self test and the instructions were to swab for 10 seconds where your tonsils are (or were in my case) on both sides of the throat and then for 10-15 seconds an inch up the nose.

    Nose bit was uncomfortable but not too bad, the tonsil was horrible. Had a sore throat for just over an hour after.

    I'd rather get tested at a centre so I could at least know the person knew what they were doing.

    I thought I had had it in February, but then I thought I couldn't have done because my mother was here during my symptoms and she never picked it up; but she had a right shitty dose of conventional flu last year, which could have given her a bit of resistance to it, so now I don't know. Whatever it was, I crushed it by stuffing my face, so the government obesity strategy is a con.

    There was a thing going round the office that might've been it but nobody came back positive. Although we have had someone on the sick for six month for 'Covid related reasons'. But it's not Covid, apparently. I figure if the office cough was Covid, we'd have at least one genuine hospital case.

    I had a pretty bad flu in early March but I don't think it was Covid. I had different symptoms (muscle aches, runny nose, sore throat, cough and I was shivering) and no one near me caught it.

    On that note, I used to get ill every other week. Not a fucking thing since Feb. Whether it's the commute, the dirty ethnics in the office who don't wash their hands after cleaning their bumhole barehanded, me not licking the doorhandles of six bars a week or simply the lack of sleep deficiency, it's not been surprising but it remains one hell of a noticeable difference.

    I barely ever get ill me. The Chinese even got that woman to 12 Monkeys me on the plane back from Inverness to make sure of it, and all I had was a sweaty Saturday and a dry cough. I put it down to biting my nails.

    I normally get colds for fun, not had a single one since bat flu entered the country in late Jan. Even withstood the nearest guy to me at work having a stinking one for two weeks recently. Might take the case to M. Poirot and see what he thinks.

    I had the antibody test and it says I had it when I had suspicions. Although I've heard those tests aren't exactly reliable...

    if 'the office cough' was Covid, you wouldn't be calling it 'the office cough'. It may only hospitalise the vulnerable, but it still packs a punch you know about if you've got it.

    Unless you're one of the many people who apparently have it and experience no symptoms.

    Have they found anything more concrete with the symptoms or is it still some or all of the dry cough/taste/smell/short breath?
