Does anyone think about Covid anymore?

[ouchmyteeth]

Feels like measures have sort of.. disappeared. Virtually no precautions whatsoever anywhere these days , not even light measures

My CEV mum doesn’t even mention it or bother with a mask anymore.

It’s like it’s gone away but obviously it has not.

I don't think about it all to be honest.

No more than I think about any seasonal illness.

Well I still think about it every sodding day, as I have long Covid fatigue, and have been buggered by it for the last three years!

I think about it in a different way. There has been no justice for the relatives of those who family members were effectively sent to their deaths in care homes, and none for the then Prime Minister for not acting promptly enough despite what was being seen particularly in Spain and Italy.

I don't want a measure of justice to take as long as happened for the Hillsborough families.

Went for a diabetic eye check this morning.

My letter informed me that I needed to be masked up and should have a negative Covid test.

Pitched up. I was the only one in the waiting room wearing a mask and the nurse asked me to lower my mask! I've only just recovered from Covid.

No one gives a toss anymore.

Yes but I'm immunosuppressed and currently have no vaccine.

I always knew it was over hyped by the horrific media we have in the UK

Like @Babdoc, every damn day due to Long Covid and all the issues a mild infection has left me with.

Not here, but we are fortunate enough to be healthy and likely unaffected. We're vaccinated but only boosted once and we've all had Covid. I'd like to think that hand washing became a permanent adopted behaviour for those that weren't overly familiar with it pre-pandemic!

Only in the sense of the lasting effects of long covid. If I woke up tomorrow with a running nose/sore throat I wouldn't think that it's covid or that I wanted to test.

No, why would you waste time thinking about a particular illness?!

Laughable that after 3 years people are still saying "it hasn't gone away" as though it's some big mic drop revelation. It isn't ever going to go away! Why would you think it will? Has the common cold 'gone away'? Has flu?

Sending samples to ONS survey has finished so no longer getting that monthly reassuring result ""high antibodies".

But we've been summoned to our 5th covid vaccinations next week.

Yes, we do. I've had it 3 times in the last 18 months and each time has taken me multiple months to recover from. Plus we have a relative with terminal cancer so we test whenever we are going to see them.
I worry about the long term impact of covid on my health and the wider public health.

Wasn't sure how to vote. I don't think about or give a shit about it.

Never did so definitely don't now.

I do. Ds was classed as CEV and now qualifies for the antiviral meds if he was to contract it so we still have to test at any sign of illness

I think about it . My friends and I all trst if we meet. They do this to accommodate me. I have been living like a recluse. I can't get my head round the fact that no measures are being taken. I had blood test ither day,arrived in my mask- nurse no mask 🙄asked if I wanted her to wear a mask. Err yep.

Yes, its impacted so many people I know. I suffered terribly and had no support. I couldn't physically walk as the inflammation locked my back and I had to crawl around shaking with a temperature to look after my children. I don't want a repeat of that.

I am now more mindful of all illnesses and plan life differently. If we have bugs when people visit we open windows and pre warn people. We still covid test. We've been invited to a party 1 week before a wedding where we're part of the wedding party. So we've declined the invitation, whereas previously we would have gone. I'm definitely more considerate towards the wellbeing of others and how my choices might impact them.

In the last few weeks, two close family members have come down with it. One is doing ok but one is having quite a rough time of it. It has been a bit strange to have been doing the distancing again!

I've been bed bound by long covid for months and I'm facing losing my job and career, so I think about it a lot. I recovered well initially and wasn't CEV - so many people are complacent but this could happen to anyone.

Well I certainly thought about it last week when I bloody had it and couldn't get out of bed! It's horrible and I'm still knackered!

Yes because my mum was on chemo and is still immunosuppressed. We are careful, but not overly so.

In 2 ways - firstly, the odd ‘can you believe that really happened’ type conversation, mostly set off by a Facebook memory from lockdown coming up. Staying in our houses and being allowed out for 1hr a day still blows my mind.

Secondly, because the knock on effects to dh job and industry are likely to be felt for years to come yet, if not forever.

In terms of worrying about catching it or anything along those lines, no.

Still expected to wear a mask at the hospital. I wear one every time I'm there.

No more than any other bug doing the rounds!
