Not Covid thankfully, viral infection, not coping so well with the heat. She’s been monitored for a while and sent home with three doctors agreement. She currently flat out asleep on my belly, wife flat out next to me on the couch. She has an inhaler to help for the next few weeks if she struggles breathing. Thanks again everyone. If I’m cranky tomorrow (more than usual) it’s because I’ll probably not sleep tonight. I’m really pleased it has turned out so well a massive relief for you all I’m sure And thanks for the warning I’ll try and avoid you for the next day StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all is ok my wife is children's nurse and said there is lots of bronchialitus and winter bugs going round. Hope your daughter is ok Steve.

dunlopp9987 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I now know two people who have been fully vaccinated since March/April who have recently tested positive. Both of them are fine, feeling slightly out of it, but it goes to show that the Delta variant is no joke. I've been vaccinated since April, but I think I'm going to go back to wearing my mask anytime I'm indoors. StevO and Hafnia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in every 75 people now have it over here (in England, Wales and NI are much better, Scotland about the same); but pleased to report that, even though I'm in a low risk part of the country, it's rare to see anyone without a mask. I have a test tomorrow ahead of a hospital appt on Monday but sure it'll be clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to work at 1:30 today, a few hours later I got sent home for looking tired. Time to log off I think, get some rest. Nope, the baby is very very very lively now. She just tried to remove my big toenail with a toy eggshell. Hafnia, Romey 1878, Matt and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the scientists I follow are expecting the cases to drop a little before picking back up again. They seem to think that the increase was due to the football. When that finished, cases will slow a little before picking back up again as a result of the unlocking and what will likely be superspreading events like nightclubs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run of wave 3 (12months+ I reckon) it'll be a blip. I'm not against the country opening up despite all my rantings. I'm against opening up and letting this population decide what is best for it when the population has proven so many times it cannot be trusted to do whats best for itself. So things like passports, enforcing masks on public transport and indoors etc are essential because otherwise you get selfish pricks and conspiracy theorists who will, and already are, endangering others.

dunlopp9987 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Wore my mask in the grocery store yesterday, first time I've worn one inside since the middle of June. Unsurprisingly you get a few looks, as most people assume you're unvaccinated if you're wearing one. The ratio was probably 70/30, unmasked vs masked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you guys know me wearing one was always for appearance only anyway as I have no airflow through mouth/nose, I've written an explanatory note which I always carry in case I'm challeneged but not had to show it yet.
