Fans Returning/Cases Rising

People comparing covid to flu as if the flu is just a bit of a cold blatantly have never had the flu, likewise people who claim to feel a bit 'fluey' or saying they have a 'touch of flu'. I've been getting a flu jab every year since I suffered a bout of flu as I never want to feel that ill again.

Quoted from grimsby pete

No and I don't know anybody who knows anybody that has had it.

BUT

We know it effects the elderly and people with other health problems a lot more than the young and fit.

That's why I say why not just isolate the ones most at risk.

I don't have a problem with isolating old farts like us Pete in fact I found my period of shielding (which I have chosen to continue incidentally) was absolutely great, I enjoyed it tremendously but those who are not old farts and who are not isolating MUST observe the rules (social distancing, masks etc) if anything is going to make a difference apart from the much promised (but, like Town's promotion, highly unlikely for years) vaccine.
The government took the cork fully out of the bottle when they re-opened pubs bars and restaurants Big mistake and impossible now to reverse on a nationwide basis so please, all you fornicators on the urine in Seaview Street this weekend think of me and Pete !

As a matter of interest, the St. Ledger weekend is being allowed to go ahead with up to 20,000 people expected to attend.

There seems to be one law for football, and a completely different law for horse racing. Can anyone explain why?

Out of interest, has anyone on here had Covid or know anyone that has? If so what was their experience? I hear loads of it’s just like the flu, but only from people who have not been close to it.

Yes, my Brothers wife's step dad who cycles everywhere and for someone in he late 50's early 60's has no underlying health conditions and is fit as an ox got covid and nearly died.  He ended up at Castle Hill, he got what most experience short breath, fatigue then lungs filled with fluid and somehow bless him, he made it through.  

For me it has to be individual immune system related, im sure i have had covid back in February when onsite at clients (Gloucester) when the Cheltenham Festival was on.  2nd day in the week i felt strange, went dizzy for 10 mins, felt sick and had hot flushes (no not the menopause haha) i took some paracetamol and after 30 mins or so i was fine.  But i said earlier if you dont get tested you dont know if you have covid, and if you do but not showing symptoms  and appear immune to it what can you do, self isolate not to pass it on to others, cos i'd be in permanent lock down if thats the case until a vaccine is found.

Its the deaths from covid we need to keep an eye out, not the rise in cases.  If everyone in the country got tested you had a huge rise in cases im sure, but how many of these cases are showing immunity?

As another old fart I have to agree Swin. I would say that the government was wrong in its choice of what to open and how to behave in places like bars and pubs. That doesn't mean it is wrong to open other things though. In fact it is essential they do but they have to be opened a bit at a time and rules applied, not because I think rules about masks and distance are particularly effective but because people need to be take some social discipline about it, not just blast back to normality in one go. I can see that being anarchic.

If your tested and are positive u don't have to isolate forever! It's 7 days I think. Or maybe 14 cant recall. The virus ceases to be transmittable after a while.
