Very mild symptoms this morning, tested negative before heading in to Noble’s. Only stayed a few minutes to touch base with the team and went home. Got a bit worse during the day, tested positive (faint line) about 4pm. Feels like a normal cold to me. I imagine I’ll be fine tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you about 3 people earlier who did. Why would you believe wrighty more than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did reply to one of your recent posts that my brother in law was in hospital because of it. Did that not fit your narrative? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Git Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 You’re claiming you’ve never heard of anyone with more than a mild cold and then choose not to believe anything you hear to the opposite? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned that I had heard of people on here. It's not that complicated. And guess what. Mr Wright appears to be (hopefully) in the huge majority who are barely ill or dont even notice.

(sorry wrighty, hope you're well soon 😂) Your obsession over anecdotal personal evidence is very strange. Omicron seems less serious. Whether that happens to fit the experience of a handful of posters on a very small forum for a very small island is, if you'll pardon the french, of no fucking consequence. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medic suggested throat swab. (Off duty medic). I can see the sense in that, but with the little swabs in the LFTs I suspect there’d be a good chance of a false negative from not swabbing deep enough. Up the nose is difficult to get wrong. Personally I have no nose symptoms and only the mildest scratchy throat, but my swabs, done as per instructions (no single nostril experimentation etc) were positive anyway.

That seems to be fairly standard for most people I know who have tested positive in the last month or so. Both my children worked through their positive diagnoses WFH in the run up to Xmas. The real thing that worries me is if a disease is so deadly why do so many employers expect you to continue WFH rather than give you a week off sick? If you had a bad case of flu two years ago you’d be treated as actually sick and not have to man your laptop for 7 hours a day for the duration of your sickness. Varies business to business in my experience. The last couple of times I've been fairly unwell I've continued to WFH, largely because taking time off just means more work when I get back anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramseyboi Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Not that anyone will care but having jut got home and tried a throat swab it says positive. Nose still saying negative. Same for the Mrs. Happy new year. Both feel fine but both had symptoms and negative tests last week.

Bit of a PITA, as I am now confined to my bedroom to allow him the run of the house while back from Uni. Mild symptoms led to the test, but they have lessened over the course of the day.
