COVID is still there
Today is just very short post, this week that initially supposed to be nice and with regulated hours, became a bit hectic and all the activities that were planned according my work diary were completely changed. The reason of course, the problem with staffing.
Are you able to guess what could hit the staff so much this time of the year with nice sunny and warm days?
If someone would ask me I think I would never be able to guess, but this is COVID, what else.
It is unbelievable how many cases we see now only then I realise that the measurements that we had for last three years like:
- distancing and
- wearing masks
were really very effective. What is happening now, people go around without masks and we have so many activities, like parties with unlimited participants, travelling, going to shops and buses without wearing masks and that is the result.
That made that instead of doing normal regulated week I have done few extra shifts.
But at the moment I do not care, because we are looking forward our 4 weeks annual leave in July and that is worth then to work now.
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Yeah, my wife and I just got over COVID. We were both sick for about a week, she had it a few days before I did.
And where did we get it? We went to a graduation party, where no one was wearing masks. And everybody was packed into a room, sitting and standing close to each other, giving each other hugs, and not having a care in the world.
It took about five days from the party for COVID to show up in my wife…8 days for me.
We are both vaccinated and boosted. Symptoms that we had were like the common flu. Congestion, coughing, runny nose, a sore body, and headaches. I am thankful though, it could have been worse.
I am glad it's over. And both of us now are much more cautious about where we go.
It is very common that people get it from parties and weddings. Like our colleagues a couple visited wedding of relatives,despite of being outside majority of time both still got it.
Many people who against vaccines now saying that those who vaccinated still getting Covid. It is true it is difficult to know if vaccination helped a bit like to have light infection or not.
I am glad that you and your wife recovered and back to normal. By the way couple of my colleagues despite of vaccines and booster had the virus twice. So nobody knows how it will be in future.
hello friend, many people have left behind the security measures and even go out without a face mask, this pandemic was strong and we must not forget the unpleasant moments that this phenomenon brought us, we must continue to use the face mask and keep our distance is already a way of life the drawing is wonderful the colors and that great technique greetings and blessings to you
Many now left any precautions, we will be able to see the results end of August and Autumn :)
I’ve not worn a mask, no vaccines, I’ve photographed weddings with 150 people not wearing masks and I regularly do spin class where your heavy breathing all over people in a none ventilated tiny room, got tube loads where no one wears masks here for ages and I’ve still never had any symptoms of covid at all, I don’t see the gym goers dropping off either as recognise the same faces every week. I really don’t think the masks do anything but I know we all have our own opinions. I’m a firm believer everyone should look after their health in the way they personally feel is best. For me what feels the best is crazy healthy diet and exercising every other day at least and not worrying about covid but trying to stay happy and positive.
It is interesting to know that you are lucky and went through the whole period without getting the Virus. Some of research showed that people with Blood Group 0 are barely get the virus and symptoms. What blood group do you have?
I think I might be O actually. Almost all my friends got it vaccinated or not, mask wearing or not. From my observation the vaccine and masks seemed to make zero difference to how bad people got it. If anything I saw people who got the vaccine get more poorly in my own circles although my mum never got covid either and she had the vaccines. Having said that my parents rly barely went out as they hated wearing masks and did want to avoid it too so it’s possible they just didn’t come into contact with it. On the other hand I have really done everything I go spinning a few times a week sometimes and the room is tiny with no ventilation and people are panting and heavy breathing all over you. Shot a wedding right near the peak where all 150 guests were mask free etc, I absolutely must have come into contact with it.
I always put it down to lifestyle really I tried to stay upbeat and I’m really really insanely healthy with my diet... I haven’t really eaten sugar for almost 20 years, I eat mostly raw food, I don’t eat any processed foods, barely drink, don’t eat wheat/ starches etc etc and I take gubinge vitamin c and lots of super foods as well as trying to stay upbeat, exercise and be mindful.
I don’t really consider myself lucky with health as I had terrible stomach issues and auto immune but extreme diet fixed everything for me and I just have a belief that natural health works and that we can give ourselves the best fighting chance at life through natural means. I personally think the vaccine and masks should be a personal choice i respect everyone’s decision when it comes to their own health decisions but I saw too many people have vaccine reactions and I know I’m v sensitive to vaccines as it is and masks to me just seems unhealthy. Maybe in some places they have a place but here in London people are pulling them on and off all the time, dropping them on the floor, touching things like tube handles then having that pushed up against their face it just didn’t seem right or healthy to me. It makes sense in a hospital setting to me or a sterile place with a lot of sick people.
Печально.
Ковид снова наступает. У нас пока "всё хорошо". Практически нет новостей о заражениях и излечениях. Есть другие новости о величии нации, государства. Я думаю, чот ты понимаешь о чем я хочу сказать.
Осенью и у нас начнутся снова проблемы с ковидом. Недавно знакомая девушка по удаленной работе сказала, что они всей деревней переболели амикроном. Она уехала из Москвы в деревню, упила почти 2 гектара земли и трудится удаленно, а на земле наслаждается любимым делом.
Да, жить за городом это самое замечательное, вдали от Вируса и от суматохи большогo города :)
от вируса не получается скрыться. а от суматохи - точно!
I just had my 4th shot. Its almost over. A lot more people are catching it, but the numbers of serious cases keep going down. At least in regions where we have had the good fortune to receive the vaccine.
Yes, agree, the cases are much lighter and that what scientists say that after vaccines the illness is much lighter.
