Currently on my 5th day of isolation. Hits hard this thing. I don't recommend it. Glad I'm jabbed and boosted, or I'd have had a much worse time.

Hope you feel better soon mate

Definitely get it checked out if you can. For two reasons. Firstly if there has been an issue better to catch it as quickly as possible. Secondly, anxiety is awful and has can push your heart rate up significantly. You said you had reactions to your vaccines so far and you are a healthy young person. Anything that seems off as a result will be worrying you for obvious reasons and contributing to this. I had this a good few years back (not covid related as it was way before that). I was in my early 20’s and started to feel a bit under the weather and then started getting the odd chest pain and when I’d be going to sleep I’d feel tingles in my arms. Feeling under the weather had long passed but I was still feeling a bit tight in the chest and the rest. Obviously being a young idiot I took a while to get checked out (not calling you a young idiot, especially given the circumstances but young men especially tend to behave like this). Eventually got a series of fairly standard tests and it wasn’t anything. And I am not a worrier. Never get sick at all really. When I got my results back from the doctor it was incredible the effect. It all just disappeared pretty much instantly. Once I knew there was nothing underlying it completely sorted me out.

So just get checked as soon as possible. Hope you get it sorted soon mate. Sure it will be fine

Yeah cheers mate, well that's why I rang the docs up pretty much straight away. I don't know what it is. Had Omicron two weeks ago and it started last week. It just feels the same way as it did after I had my second jab last year. Cheers for the advice, I'll have a look into what I can do. Given the timing of it I don't want to be adding undue pressure, it was just the lack of help/proper advice that I got that peeved me a bit. I've got better advice on this thread than what she gave me.

Id be surprised with a full lock down myself mate, this will be the worst of it now and some hopeful signs today we may have seen a peak - though its just todays data and you'd want to see it for a few more days.

Looks like we may have seen a peak or plateauing anyway here, running a second day decrease of peak. Though for my money we might have 1k-1.8k of a back log.

Also fair to say, our case numbers are far worse then our PCR testing though...so need to be evaluated as a sample.

Surely it must get to a point when people stop focusing on cases? The UK cases have been sky high for a month (in reality probably much much higher as getting tests is extremely difficult).

It will be interesting to see where we are in February.

I get the premise mate, people weigh, cases, hospitallations, ICU, RIP's - at any one time depending on the wave or the variant people will see the importance of one and not the others as relative to them.

For me they are all hand in glove - to give an example, the Uk had its highest no of deaths yesterday since Feb 21, that's significant, though no one seems in the general debate of Coivd to have acknowledged it. But we can go back 14, 21 days and track the UK case numbers and look at the tangent between case numbers and the increase in deaths, that tells us something and informs us. All the data is hand and glove and tells us something.

In terms of the data i posted, you are looking at exponential growth and peaks in a wave. Our case numbers have been growing exponentially. We saw in SA and arguably the UK now the curve fly up and peak than reduce or plateau - we want to be seeing that kind of trend as it gives us a sense the wave has peaked and we are entering a period of declining instances - that obviously changes how we all live our lives were we are heading with restrictions etc.

All important in my opinion mate, not one data set that rules them all.

You're right there is still the link between cases and hospitalisations/deaths. You'd hope Ireland will do better than the UK as a lot more adults are vaccinated.

Yesterday was a high number but the 7 day average is somewhere around 250. It's hard to say how high the average will get. Possibly around 350/400?

The average on the same day last year was 1150 and peaked on the 18th with an average of 1283 so things have improved a lot.

Ha is probably everything existing together mate, the UK is always interesting because its freer than almost everywhere, restriction wise.

To be honest, pro rata there isn't much difference between Ireland and UK, especially this wave. You are right to an extent, cases in the UK and Ireland are way higher than what we are reporting as this variant just broke both our PCR systems - our CMO said yesterday he reckoned there are as many as 500k cases here - there are 5 mill people in the country. We're about 10 days or so behind you guys in terms of peak.

The vaccines are making all the difference in my opinion and we're half through Jan, Jan was always going to be a mess, but we're getting there and we might have seen both the UK and Ireland begin to peak and we can hold tight until March.
