More fake news on Long Covid.

Coronavirus: Specialist 'long Covid' clinics to be set up in England

They will offer support for people with long-term health problems after infection with coronavirus.

How many times... I accept that it exists. I question at this moment in time it’s severity.


The most common symptom of long Covid is crippling fatigue.

But breathlessness, joint pain, anxiety, brain fog and many other symptoms have also been reported.

At this point in time can you say for certain that symptoms such as brain fog and anxiety, even fatigue, could not be in part psychosomatic and caused by relentless consumption of the media and information about this virus? It’s been the main impact of 2020 on all our lives, is it possible that people are experiencing mental side effects due to being overwhelmed with constant talk of disease, death and destruction whilst being locked down? Take a moment and have a think about it.

'Brain fog' following COVID-19 recovery may indicate PTSD

Fixed penalty notice for man who visited pubs during 14-day isolation period

Neighbourhood police have submitted a fixed penalty notice for a man who visited three pubs in North Somerset when he should have been self-isolating following his return from holiday abroad.

Would have been dobbed in to the police, no doubt.

Or grassed, apparently.

For me it’s down to people being less cautious and far too many declining to follow the guidance. Mask adherence is embarrassing locally and as for distancing in shops it is less than good.

Which seems to be a northern thing based on replies alone in here and the fact the noth west/east are locked down.

If nothing else it reminds me of that lock stock quote about the north and south lol

Nope, what I said was that you love hitching your wagon to anything that suits your agenda

No but it does coincide with more mass gatherings of people.

I'm not talking about the past week, I'm talking about the last 4 months. We were testing far less people back in July as we are now, numbers have risen with more testing.

Is it a coincidence or not? That I can't answer.

Its no coincidence that people were encouraged to go and eat out, and ordered back to the office, education opened for the academic year, and bingo we have full houses of Coronavirus...

It's a god give me strength moment and they wonder why we are getting deeper into the dung.

The documentary evidence pre-dates major media interest in it.

Look, you cant say you 'accept' its existence and then do all you can to deny it.

 

[-Rob-]

Maybe you should go with the orthodoxy amongst health experts and not give too much attention to cranks on the fringe?

Don't worry, I've never given you much attention

The pubs he went to does underscore his likely intelligence. And as they are so terrible, its unlikely many folk were in them.

That said, you are correct.

Sake.

Touching any thing wooden, (shut up at the back), our situation, so far, isnt leading to a significant increase in admissions. That said, all the Nightingale facilities were never stood down.

I can accept its existence whilst questioning its severity. Are you deliberately misunderstanding this? It’s not difficult to comprehend.

The same way I accept that complications from the flu can cause people to lose limbs and the common cold can lead to pneumonia or myocarditis, I can accept that some people may suffer with Covid for much longer than others. It doesn’t mean that I support a lockdown because of it.

If you want to accept “anxiety” and “brain fog” as reasons to implement a lockdown and to be majorly concerned then that’s your prerogative. I’ll use a typical doomer phrase and say I’ll wait two weeks and see what happens. Make it two months actually.

Could English pubs follow in Scotland's steps?

While we expect more moves from No 10 to tackle Covid, there are many questions still to be settled.

It really is just a matter of time before hospitality is locked down here.

There is absolutley no excuse to keep that open and infecting people. It's out of control again and pubs and restaurants need locking down and bolting up for months, not weeks.

I'm pretty sure the game now is getting some furlough scheme together for that sector, but its lockdown is assured IMO.

You've no right to do that when actual experts are telling you how severe it is...regardless of what their patients are saying. They can measure oxygen levels, damage to lungs and other organs, for example.

It's not a matter of belief or disbelief. There's no questioning it.

David Moyes is still in isolation. Been two weeks now and Irvine has said it must be frustrating for him seeing he has never had a day off before. Shows another fit under 60 having issues with it.
