There's definitely so.ething working on my system: headaches, runny nose occasionally, very sore throat, swollen glands, stomach cramps, inflammation in parts of my body....
But it's nowhere near as bad as the first dose that I got at the end of 2019: a rasping cough and when I lay flat in bed I could actually hear myself trying to breathe; a loud gurgling sound from my lungs which was very scary
I decided to tough it out, as I instinctively knew I would eventually recover.
On occasions, I simply could not get out of bed: I felt like I weighed a ton and had zero energy.
From my analysis, each variant is more easily transmitted, but is less virulent; less dangerous, but each variant has also progressively weakened some people who succumb.
There will continue to be deaths indefinitely : same as the normal annual flu that we have to live with; boosters and annual jabs will be essential to keep immune systems as strong as possible. |

Not positive and never have been, but I'm sick with viral sinusitis yet again. Daughter is also sick with similar symptoms and also testing negative. Some of my daughter's friends are positive and my boss is positive. So who the hell knows... |

"Still hold the cert for not having it. Surprised family member in Dublin daily and has been throughout, 2 in school one in college and we still covid free.
Probably jinxed myself now."
I can't believe I didn't give it to you or the other fab ladies either |

I've had a nagging cough/ upper respiratory tract infection for the last few days. Was pretty sure it was the dreaded Wu-flu, but the antigen test was negative. |

This current variant isn’t showing up on antigens, Omicron 2.
I had a whooper dose last week and I thought I was done for Monday/Tuesday but I have complicating factors. I didn’t test positive on antigens until after the rest of my family were coming out of it AND I got a positive PCR.
Current variant is rough but fast. 2-4 days. |

It does show on Antigen but from what I can see it's taking 2 days off symptoms till it shows. Also lidl antigen tests are crap if anyone using them. |

"Dunno how people are getting it,, I mean they must be breathing on top of each other 
You can get it by passing someone on the street. Are you serious? "
I walk past many people and go into shops all the time and I still haven't gotten it in 2 years and yes I'm very serious.. |

"Both my parents are testing positive now with antigen tests after 2 days of symptoms. I'd say it's only a matter of time for me as I spend a lot of time with both of them. "
My son has it since Monday, he is hibernating in his room, I'm clear so far but blinding headache this evening |

We've all somehow managed to avoid it in our house for the last two years, although we worked straight threw!
It's all around us at the moment. We're away this weekend and our selection of childminders have been dropping like flys!!

Luke O Neill on today, most vocal professor throughout all of this saying in most cases this omicron 2 is like a bad flu at worse. Varadker on saying we will have many more strains over weeks months and years ahead but we "have to live with it and live with it properly without restrictions". |

Keeping my fingers crossed here having gone two years working straight trough, going into at least ten houses on average a day wearing a mask from my arrival untill I am out the drive way washing my hands at each house using paper towels to dry them and sanitizing as i get in the van
Being imuno compromised and living with a person that has had her imune system destroyed by illness and would catch a cold if it passed on a bus I am glad we havent to rely on the health care system to look after us with covid as we use the system heavily for other ailments on a regular basis |

Nope. I had one last Sunday week and I only had to wait 3hrs from when I went online to book. They also signed me up online and organised for my family to have antigen tests delivered for free. |

if the PCRs are free and I was very sick, I'd be getting a straight PCR. I wouldn't be bothering with antigens at all |

Well it reduces the pressure on the HSE and until this recent variant, the antigens were accurate. |

What a nation of bed wetters ! Who gives a sh1t about Covid "the mildest most infectious cold know to man" , are you Covid lovers serious.
It's a flipping mild cold at worse ! If you don't understand that at this stage, you are for the birds and an idiot. Couldn't sugar coat the stupidity any more.
The major problem now, and it's laughable is the Civil Servants taking weeks off to get over the cold and we are paying for it. That's the issue in the HSE, they get covid and they can't go to work, our stupid processes and the bed wetters are the cause of all this.
How's covid coping in countries like Sri Lanka or the Ukraine? It's terrible it's not even considered, maybe we should send them our fancy coloured cloth masks - they will fight famine and Russians but are useless against Covid |

I don't agree with some of what u say but it all comes back to covid showing the inadequacy of our health system. also id wonder if alot now don't know what a "bad home sickness" is and are panicking and going to A&E because the fear thats been driven over the last 2 years with covid. if we're going to be living with variants for months and years to come, you cannot keep jumping back into restrictive measures each time a new one arrives. |

Which part don't you agree with ? I notice this forum has the same little clique of people virtue signalling away day In day out, we haven't noticed you .
There is certainly a number of people on this forum that shout and scream rubbish as often as they can, what it does is stop many lovely other people contributing. We all know who these clique are, there the ones who desperately all skuttle to agree with each other and tell their own horrible stories of woe.
Now back to covid, it is a cold, and you are absolutely correct,people have forgotten that we always caught colds and flu and we got on with it, and weirdly it's very prolific in winter, when we are confined indoors more. Why would anyone give a crap now, all we here is thank god for the boosters otherwise it could have been worse ! Christ on a bike what brainless rubbish.
Hiding from a cold, stopping your life for 2 years for what ! If you live to 80 you've given up 4% of your life for a cold! People are brain dead, it effects the sensible because we are forced to adher to populism, stupid populism.  |

Don't feed the trolls, hun x
I 100% have COVID fatigue but I remember the height of it and how family members were either sick from it or too vulnerable to spend time with and I'm glad that we had restrictions. It all could have been much worse. |

I'm glad I was vaccinated and got booster otherwise might have been worse. I've been careful for the last 2 years, we will just have to live with it and take the necessary precautions, wash your hands etc. |

Horrible people poking their n heads up on these forums recently.
“Just a cold” caused my friends kidneys to fail snd she’s now on dialysis for life or my kids dad to develop Fibromyalgia and be crippled since.
Really ignorant, insensitive and arrogant contentious bolloxy comment. It reads to me that your nose is out of joint because you aren’t taken seriously elsewhere and you come to a faceless forum to throw insults around and big yourself up. How’s that working out for you? |

it's like all with covid. I have seen numerous people get it but very few get seriously sick. do some get seriously ill? of course, like many illnesses. I think if it hasn't affected you terribly, you're going to have a diff view on it. I stand by the comment though, we cannot keep jumping back into restrictions when a new variant arrives. |

I don’t disagree with you but this thread has been dragged far past that by the “bed wetters” comment.
Covid may not be as lethal as it was, but it was. |

I wouldn't disagree either. It really depends on the degree to which any new variant effects public health though. Fingers crossed any new variants are less deadly. I don't think anyone here was advocating for more lockdowns. |

Just after taking two rapid tests just to make sure 100% but both fucking things have came back positive ffs! It's just so frustrating as i thought we were all over this crap at this stage. Bit of a sore head and temperature lastnight so i thought it was the responsible thing to do and take a test as i work in retail and i feel 100% fine and healthy this morning again it's so frustrating. |

Don't have it and never have done that I'm aware of. Testing regularly as I'm in food production and every single lft and pcr has been negative but felt like shite since Christmas.
Business had to close as it's home based and everyone living on the premises tested positive. One of those, despite having no underlying health issues has been hospitalised and is on a heart monitor and possibly require a pacemaker as a result.
I'll deal in factual events rather than respond to some of the slobbering that goes on here. |

"Whats the estimated current number of deaths from Covid in Ireland?
Just over 6.5k. "
Pardon my ignorance i know how many actually.
Its 1170 actual deaths from the virus at the most accurate count.. but don't take my word for it. Ask Stephen Donnelly its was in the Irish Times last weekend gone.

So we currently have had 1,413,798 cases in Ireland with 1170 deaths. Which basic maths says the death rate currently stands at 0.075%. Now granted we take into account the successful vaccine and the lesser variants. To even suggest and sort of return to any sort of restrictions with a death rate of 0.075% is quite simply astonishing.
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/covid-19-ireland-had-one-of-lowest-excess-death-rates-in-world-study-finds-1.4823879
"Ireland recorded one of the lowest rates of excess deaths in the world during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a major new study.
In Europe, only Iceland and Norway performed better than Ireland for excess mortality, regarded as a measure of the true death toll of the pandemic." |

See, the one big flaw in all of this is that the numbers you've posted simply reinforce the value of restrictions and how much they helped. |

How is it a flaw? Never said anything about restrictions not working but on current understanding and after what we have done. Its now simply a cold.
And again not my words plenty of doctors and scientists now describing it that way. |

Why did you post the excess death rate and death percentage stat then?  Just struggling to grasp what exactly the point your trying to get across here.
Well, it's not simply a cold. Don't think I've ever heard of 51 people being intensive care due to the conmon cold. |

Only its not just a cold there are many people suffering with long covid 2 years after infection.. A simple task will leave you breathless and bed ridden with exhaustion the next day 2 years yes 2 years after infection.. Brain fog.. Head aches panic attacks you name it.. |

There is certainly a number of people on this forum that shout and scream rubbish as often as they can, what it does is stop many lovely other people contributing. We all know who these clique are, there the ones who desperately all skuttle to agree with each other and tell their own horrible stories of woe.
Now back to covid, it is a cold, and you are absolutely correct,people have forgotten that we always caught colds and flu and we got on with it, and weirdly it's very prolific in winter, when we are confined indoors more. Why would anyone give a crap now, all we here is thank god for the boosters otherwise it could have been worse ! Christ on a bike what brainless rubbish.
Hiding from a cold, stopping your life for 2 years for what ! If you live to 80 you've given up 4% of your life for a cold! People are brain dead, it effects the sensible because we are forced to adher to populism, stupid populism.
Only its not just a cold there are many people suffering with long covid 2 years after infection.. A simple task will leave you breathless and bed ridden with exhaustion the next day 2 years yes 2 years after infection.. Brain fog.. Head aches panic attacks you name it.. "
This is where I am and now I got it again. I feel sicker than I did with Covid first time around |

"I kinda do. Tested positive last Wednesday, was still positive yesterday, but only have a runny nose...
Missus
Not kind of - you have it "
Tested positive, but wasn't sick, wouldn't class it eyeroll worthy.
Or do we roll our eyes at every pesky unvaccinated person who doesn't straight up die or end up on a ventilator after testing positive?  |

No just the ‘kind of’ description and the implication that you might kind of not isolate and might kind of go to the pub to kind of spread it.
How would I have known your were an anti Vader? |

I'm shaking off the last vestiges, mercifully, because I want to start doing some really serious training again, to get back to where I was before the lockdowns and repeated disruptions to my routine.  |

Had it the first week of March. recovered the following week. Still get serious chest pains every couple of days. The first few days were horrible. Missed being able to hug Dee and the kids more then anything. Im fully vaxxed so would hate to see what people who aren't vaxxed are like. |

First of all I'm not anti Vader, nor I am an anti vaxer.
I actually celebrate the choice that people have and encourage everyone who wants to get it to do so.
You would drop dead at the idea that I didn't wear a mask at all, not even once through this whole time while I was testing positive too!
On a serious note I had fucking chemo 6 days before I tested positive for covid, actual chemo. Like the stuff that kills you if you're not strong enough to take it.
I've been isolating at home for 6 days before I even tested positive, nevermind a week after.
Do you really think I'm dickhead enough to go around spreading it?
We both strongly believe in life where you do whatever feels right in life as long as you do no harm to others. Covid falls into that bracket - we're lucky that we eat right, take all the vitamins and live an active life, so covid as well as many other illnesses don't really stick to us, but we both are very much aware that others might not live by the same rules, and/or just aren't as resilient as we both are so we don't go around spreading it.
Thanks for your assumptions though, I absolutely love seeing how people online behave and just jump into assuming the worst

"Day 5 and still testing positive. What’s the norm number of days for the virus to move from positive to negative?"
Apparently you can test positive on an antigen for up to 30days after. If you need a negative for work book a pcr. |

systematic review and meta-analysis of 95 unique studies with 29?776?306 individuals undergoing testing, the pooled percentage of asymptomatic infections was 0.25% among the tested population and 40.50% among the population with confirmed COVID-19.
Taken from an official website.
Literally almost half of all positive cases don't even have any symptoms at all which means they wouldn't even know they had it if they weren't getting tested, which also means that many more millions of people who didn't have to get regularly tested for work, school or family had it with zero symptoms, so yes, willy's statement about people who aren't vaxed being totally fine is very much true and not bigged up in any way.
I'm one of them and I'm just dandy

Mike Drop ! Right there.
I'm glad you guys understand and are able to advise the many on here about the personal responsibility we all have of keeping healthy. "Personal Responsibility" imagine that, being responsible for your own health. It's nuts how many simply relinquish choice for laziness, and then blame the healthy. "Wait for the story now about "a friend who's super healthy & fit who got seriously ill from Covid". This super healthy & fit imaginary friend.
We are both very happy to see such healthy recovery from the True Big C. Stay beautiful |

25 Yr old daughter healthy out eats healthy and don't drink or smoke and its a gym addict. Fully vaxed, she's in bits has a cough on her like she's smoked the last 40 yrs it's knocked the wind out of her. My grandmother 94 had it and no real complaints felt like a slight head cold. |

bottom line is everyone reacts differently. |

Had the covid in March/April 2020 when it first arrived here, and the only symptoms I had were an irritating dry cough that lingered for ten days and then disappeared thankfully. Because my immune system did such a great job of protecting me and eliminating the virus from my system, I just decided to skip being vaccinated. I hasten to add, I'm not anti-vax, I'm pro choice..My body, my choice. I have been in close contact with several people who tested positive, including two who ended up in hospital in intensive care on a ventilators. I've had a barking cough for the last week, had several antigen tests all negative. Thankfully my oxygen saturation remains at 98%, so I guess it's just a common or garden upper respiratory tract infection. |
