I was kinda sold on the belief that this variant is just a cold. I was almost relieved to test positive so I could get it out of the way. But, it is not a cold. I’m young, fit, healthy and vaxxed yet I’ve not been as sick in my life.

10 days of it and only now am I starting to feel vaguely human again. All the symptoms are crap, but the worst for me were all the mental symptoms. Zero concentration or desire to do anything… memory, cognition issues.
I was the same. Sounds like you got it worse though. Still recovering after a week. I homework but still couldn’t physically work for 3 days. If it had got much worse was going to call hospital.
Hope you recover fully soon
 
Despite a steady increase in cases, the French government have decided, from today, to reduce the anti covid protocol.
No more compulsory mask wearing except on public transport and the pass santé no longer needed to enter places of public gathering.etc.
At the same time the over 80s are being invited to take an appointment for a 4th anti covid vaccination.
All too early imo but then there is an election in the air.
I wonder whether some of the relaxations we are seeing are due to things like elections coming up or to distract from scandals. Politics playing with peoples lives as usual.

It makes people feel a little happier that they can get out and about again and therefore people feel a little less aggravated towards those currently in charge.
 
Day 7 for me. Not sure which strain, would go for Delta as it's original symptoms, cough, headache, loss of taste etc.
Have always worn a mask, sanitised etc, even when it seemed most others gave up.
I work in a school and cases rose quickly so assume I picked it up there.
Had it beforeChristmas, say I had it, tested positive, but with no symptoms whatsoever. All fully jabbed and boostered.
Cough was proper hacking, hurt my sides and stomach when I did it, eased off now but still there.
This has been in waves sort of. Drank lots of fluids, anadin, nurofen, always hungry, got windows wide open.
Wife got a mild copy, eldest the same. Thankfully youngest, 8, hasn't been affected.
Definitely back on the rise.

Thanks. My test today was borderline negative if you get what I mean? Reckon I'm about 65-70%.
A lot had it worse than me. My lad has always got temperatures when he's sick and he had a temp high 39+ the other night, he's back down now, but he trips off his temp and chats absolute bubbles during the night ?
Always seems to get people when they least expect it.
Take care of yourself, no point rushing it ?

I read that the omnicron affects higher up in the throat, hence the mad pain and coughing and that’s why it’s spread easily but not as deadly.

Could well be, one of the coughing fits made me feel like I'd rattled my brain against the inside of my head such was the pain. Like a migraine condensed into 10 minutes.
Feel now like I'm starting to cough stuff up, clearing it.
 
Nicest people in Europe in my book.
Depends where you’re from. They have a funny relationship with their colonial past. Not overly keen on ex-colonies moving there despite plundering their countries for centuries. The general consensus is that their ex-colonies should be grateful for having all their gold stolen.
Have to say though, they are far more considerate regarding covid measures here. Just about all the population is vaxed and there seems to be less conspiracy rasping.
