So after testing positive on Sunday, I’ve had the temperature, cough and sneezes. But the one that’s really bothering me is the lack of taste and smell. How quickly can or did this come back for others?

Mine came back after 2-3 days.

 

it’s bloody everywhere at the moment, so many people I know have got it, most for the first time.

Yeah we’re both first timers. Managed to be lucky for the last two and a half years I guess. Part of me wonders of they left the gap to jab 4 too long 

[somebum]

Most of the people I know who have had it multiple times have been jabbed up to their eyeballs.

Tested positive in Jan and did my full 10 days because I kept testing positive. Haven't done a single test since. 

[Raj]

Are people still bothering to test for this?

My faith in the American people has been restored.

...the same American people who tolerate laws that make it relatively easy for a person to walk into a school where those selfsame kids who didn't get the Covid jabs are studying with a firearm and open fire?

 

Not sure that's an ideal role model tbh.

Well obviously I'm not writing off all their wrongs but seriously even you must see that the parents of America children have made the right decision here.

No, I think they've made the wrong choice, based on fear, and choosing incorrectly that a human entity is in fact a bigger threat than nature when the empirical evidence shows clearly otherwise in this case.

 

Of course, for the record, it's their choice to make and they shouldn't face governmental consequences for it. I cannot, however, speak for private organisations.

Pointless carrying on this discussion. Have a nice weekend

I really don’t care what anyone says, science or otherwise. It comes down to trust, and I simply don’t have enough to have a vaccine mRNA injected into my body that was developed in less than a year, has never been used in a mass vaccination program in humans and has caused injuries and deaths. Add to that no one knows what if any long term health effects they may have. Why anyone would inflict a covid jab on their children who are at vanishingly small risk of becoming seriously ill. beggars belief imo.

We do agree there. Enjoy your weekend, too.

I understand this outlook - it's very human.

 

Unfortunately, the natural world doesn't tend to be very forgiving of such outlooks.

Same here lost mine for two or three days right at then end. 
 

Had it a few weeks ago, one rough night’s sleep but other than that just felt like I had a cold.

If ever a single sentence could better capture the populist age that we now live in.

Hmmm...I get the sentiment, but I'm not entirely sure it's 100% accurate.

 

Those who say stuff like this now would, in the past, simply quote their faith-based beliefs as a reason to disregard scientific information instead. The overall mindset behind it has been with us for a long time.

Absolutely - it's nothing new, but my comment didn't suggest otherwise. Merely I was inferring that it encapsulated our populist age in the sense that it is perpetuated and more obtrusive due to the advent of the internet. 

 

As I've mentioned on several occasions, in 1995 Carl Sagan published a remarkably sagacious and prescient book called 'The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark' - well worth obtaining a copy if you haven't already read it.

Yes, a close friend of mine, got covid, went to hospital, had heart attack, got sepsis, nearly died. 3x jab

 was the jab the reason for them nearly dying or just completely unnecessary and ineffectual ??

 

presumably your view sits somewhere between these stools ?

You asked a question, I responded. It really is that simple.

 

Are you trying to bait me to express unfavorable opinions on the vaccine, and why do you presume to believe my views 'sit between those stools'. Seems a desperate attempt to detract the essence of fact.

sorry - just wondered .  genuinely interested. People build their opinions via experiences 

I presented the wide envelope that exists and expected you to be somewhere within that - it wasn’t a ‘trap’

 

Anyway, we all move on …..

 

[Soup]

Many people I know say they won't bother getting any more shots, including quite a few 60/70+. That was definitely not the case a year ago. I doubt any of them have been swayed by the so called conspiracies either.

The covid vaccine enthusiasts will never concede they have harmed and killed people.

Do let the world know when such harm can be conclusively proven to reach even a fraction of the six and half million people killed and countless people harmed by the disease itself, ne?
