It’s bad enough with Ukraine to worry about while all those graphs alongside the penis and balls thing is being posted. I know it’s trivial now due to the war, but how awful our team are playing isn’t providing an escapism from it all, so please stop this. Before Covid was launched from that bioweapon experiment gone wrong, Mental Health awareness was everywhere, especially with MAHA England badges being worn by my work colleagues.

This is no longer time to post scaremongering stories accompanied with a stupid picture of someone with a related facial expression to fit the narrative, let alone graphs showing things moving upwards. All “seeing the funny side” about Covid through stupid pictures and memes is so last year and the year before that. This is the time to stop posting in this thread, although I will fall on deaf ears. So please, any moderator reading this, lock this darn thread and if anything bad happens we will be sure to be told, then when that is so, you can unlock it again.

Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted March 9, 2022 Me and 3 other family members have all tested positive for Covid in the last few days, we're all triple jabbed... Thankfully all our symptoms are no worse than a bad cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully all our symptoms are no worse than a bad cold. I'm hearing of lots of folk getting it - who are triple vaccinated. As VW has posted above, testing has dropped hugely and yet in the last week warnings have been beeping very loudly (stats and those that plot the numbers who post in a neutral way) that hospitalisations are going up in a very concerning way. Not good at all. I don't think it's just Ukraine but our government (unless I'm mistaken) has made virtually no sounds on this at all? It's like it's all over. Except it clearly isn't. I reckon 10% to 20% wear masks now. The fact that testing has fallen also means that the true numbers infected will be much higher. Just have to hope that the admissions data is a temporary trend. Yet, we've been here before haven't we? I expect Javid will have to say something soon. It is always reactive with this lot. Hope you will all be ok WOAS.🤞👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My post wasn't intended to represent a serious position, hence the accompanying photo of Kenneth Williams It's the kind of article I expect to read on April 1st, or any day of the year in The Mail or Express, though a quick google tells me this story has been around for a year or so in other outlets. To be honest, I only read the first couple of lines myself, life's too short to read everything in The Mail Please don't take everything I post seriously 🤗 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to hear ICF. Let's hope it remains cold-like and sore throat and then fades as quickly. It's only been a week since rates have started to fall dramatically on Zoe where we are - though nationally Zoe has been recording around 175k cases for a while now. Obviously very prevalent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Spectre New COVID19 cases in U.K. hit record high! 221,000 cases per day and still rising - Scotland the worst hit but affects every region. Perfect timing (not) as the govt stops funding the Zoe Covid study and hospitalisations rise again - thanks for logging! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted March 17, 2022 Nearly 270k cases on Zoe today, highest ever recorded, not scaremongering but just be aware that we rely on immunity derived from vaccines , as that wanes then things change so just stay safe. There are many in Government and even on here that want us to forget about Covid…don’t forget would be my advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
