Re: Coronavirus thread
I still have a cough after getting COVID on NYD. The worst of my symptoms lasted a week with a nasty 24 hour peak. Just decent cold symptoms either side of the peak. During that week the cough and throat symptoms were the most taxing part of it though. 'Sore throat' doesn't really describe what it was like. I read a good anaolgy from a social media friend recently. She described it as feeling like you've deep-throated a cactus.
Anyway the cough remains. I'm back at the gym training well, working, going swimming with the kids, etc. Just this annoying, dry cough hanging around. It feels like I still have a little muck left in my chest that won't break up.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Seems it affects everyone differently regardles of health or jab status. Was just speaking with Chaos, his workmate that smokes 6 packs of ciggies a week was diagnosed at work on Wed, better by Friday.

That’s good, and I agree it does impact people in different ways . Just hope he’s going to isolate for 7 days before leaving.

Re: Coronavirus thread
I got swine flu all those years ago when it hit here, and I just couldn't break up its cough for ages, like 6 weeks. I went to the doctors and he prescribed me some ventolin. It broke it up, I coughed it all up and by the next day I was great.Peppermint Lounge wrote: ↑24 Jan 2022 11:48 am Anyway the cough remains.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Ta mate. Ventolin. Interesting. I had Bisolvon recommended to me today. It's a mucolytic you can get from the chemist and it specifically breaks down left over rubbish in the chest. If that doesn't work I'll see a doctor.Madmya wrote: ↑24 Jan 2022 05:19 pmI got swine flu all those years ago when it hit here, and I just couldn't break up its cough for ages, like 6 weeks.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Ventolin is just over the counter btw. No prescription needed.

No, that it's showing what a fraud his "scientific" hard border is.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Well I'm not sure he's ever called it scientifc, but based on case numbers, hospitalisations, ICU admissions and deaths, both in raw numbers and as a proportion of population, it's hard to argue it hasn't 'worked'.
Not saying it has to remain indefinitely, the lack of a new date is annoying (remember though, the opening date was postponed the day before NSW recorded the highest number of deaths all pandemic, things were on an upward trend), but I'm not sure what's so crazy about making sure everything is 'working' with this current outbreak before things burst open forever.
We've already had a case of a nurse sending a couple of covid patients to the wrong part of Fiona Stanley Hospital, potentially making the outbreak worse for a vulnerable population. It's that sort of thing I expect they want to stamp out. We haven't dealt with an outbreak before, so this is new for everyone involved.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Australia as a whole had great numbers, thanks to being an island. The issue with the WA response now is that what exactly are you guys going to work out that the rest of the world has not tried or applied? As I said, do you all live in a bubble based on political ideology over there?Ambrose Burnside wrote: ↑25 Jan 2022 10:06 am Well I'm not sure he's ever called it scientifc, but based on case numbers, hospitalisations, ICU admissions and deaths, both in raw numbers and as a proportion of population, it's hard to argue it hasn't 'worked'.

A) Omicron is already there, despite the hard border and continuing it.
B) As above, even the most prepared and vaccinated countries in the world have had the exact same curve when it hit, you can do all this pretending it's training etc but it's not and it's just delaying the inevitable at this point. I mean, 24 months in what the fuck is left to organise lol. This will most likely already be moot if A continues to take off, he'll look like an even bigger dick then.

Re: Coronavirus thread
"Delaying the inevitable" will be to get a sufficient amount of the population boosted, as they say. You don't need everyone boosted, just the vulnerable. Obviously I don't wish the virus on anyone, but it would be mildly amusing if omicron broke out before Feb 5. Even more amusing is BBM having to go to NSW to appear in court and will have to quarantine for 2 weeks when he returns.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Look, it probably will. I've heard some rumours around remote indigenous communities, which would be a disaster given their vaccination rates.
Haven't heard anything official yet, so I'm hoping my mate was sucked in by a nuffie.

Re: Coronavirus thread
That's what everyone thought here in the NT aswell, but most of our cases are from the remote communities and there's only been 1 death.

I was forced to get the jab to protect those who didn't want to protect themselves, and now turns out they didn't even need the protection. I'd be mad but I can only laugh now, it's all such a joke . If they make a 3rd jab mandatory I think I'll just be doing a photoshop job.

Back in the days when unvaxxed plague rats like myself were considered selfish.
Aged like milk, that argument did
I've been getting around wherever I want in Victoria with my doctored vax certificate, just got back from a wonderful indoor lunch down in San Remo.

As far as the good people of the nation of Western Australia know, over in this country it's full Mad Max these days. People dying in the streets, absolute anarchy on a daily basis.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Would have thought lockdown and people dying in the streets, absolute anarchy on a daily basis would be mutually exclusive
But good to see Palaszczuk and Andrews getting some love for what they've done over the last couple of weeks after the last two years We might even see the Grand Final back at the MCG

Denmark now following England and scrapping covid restrictions, mandates, passports etc
Meanwhile Australia is far too deep into its covid psychosis and hiding under far too many doonas to even notice other countries are moving on with their lives.

Re: Coronavirus thread
Omicron cases will be in the thousands by day pretty soon in WA with their gold standard hard border trying to stop a virus that even managed to make it to the antartic research station. All that hardship for nothing, well done.
Yeah I'm also sure the people of vic and qld are pumped about being locked in their houses for months on end when other states got to live their lives and end up in exactly the same place or better in most cases. Wowee gee thanks!
