I've survived the 5th! Haven't even grown an extra limb or gills from the DNA changes. However, I may never again pass through airport security with all the nanotech inside me.
Achy as hell, but again confirms to me that I need the vaccines as I'd likely have a bad case if I was infected with COVID.

Are a lot of the current predicted cases based on symptoms rather than tests? It's just that since they started charging for tests in the UK I haven't used a test and none of my friends or family have either as far as I am aware. Is it a finance thing and people with a bit more money still choose to test regularly?
5th vaccine !
When did that become a thing?
I still have a few boxes from when they closed down the testing centers and the staf were just giving them away rather than see them go to waste. I would imagine most just have to guess if they have it, so a good rule of thumb is if you have something obviously contagious just try not to pass it on
Sad to hear this, main reason I have them. Ffs.
We've heard very little about a 4th dose here in the UK unless you are classed as vulnerable. Impressed at a 5th. I do worry we're storing up a rise in serious illness if vaccines aren't administered more widely soon.

Over 50s are being invited for a covid and flu jab at the moment. Cant remember is thats a 4th one mind. Elderly and vulnerable were done a few weeks ago.
Ah, should be getting round to my age bracket soon enough. Guess the shouting about the economy and Truss et al has drowned out any coverage about it.
Edit, yes 4th dose for most I believe.
5th?! THAT'S THE ONE THEY INJECT YOU WITH 5G WITH!!11
I think the US had a broader group eligible for the second booster than UK/EU.
I'm in Australia, I've had 2x AZ, then a Phizer and a Modena - I'm done with vaccinations

I agree with taking precautions but it must be quite hard to work out current figures.
This winter will be tough again for the NHS as a lot of older people will be struggling with heating bills and that could cause more problems.
We're eligible for the 4th here but I am opting out for it for the time being. Not being enforced or anything, up to choice.
Sadly it's because I'm also 99% sure I had something similar as I had many of the symptoms for about a week and it went away instantly and my first day at the gym afterwards was utter hell on my lungs... Better as of yesterday, but it's been a month at this point...
Maybe 4th next year or closer to it at any rate.

Jabs were never enforced. Rightly so.
Probably worded it quite badly, meant like it's not even suggested at this point - they just have a small ward for COVID and/or vaccines in most hospitals.
Either way, you're absolutely right.
