My son tested positive on Sunday & today I started to feel congested & throat feels scratchy so did lateral flow & it's come back positive! I'm awaiting for a appointment to become available for a PCR. I'm really scared!! I'm overweight....I suffer with health anxiety so as you can imagine I'm absolutely petrified!!

@Kittykat93

So you're still not going to get the vaccine?? Honestly the stupidity of some people. It's people like you refusing the vaccine then catching covid and spreading it that are keeping cases going. And I dont care if that sounds harsh
Sound harsh all you like ! Believe it or not it's my choice! I've not left my house as I was already isolating before I tested positive so I'm not 'spreading' it!

[quote Namechanged4thi5]@Roch91 possibly anxiety- I feel dizzy when I have my episodes too. Glad you are feeling better. Keep positive 😊
It’s your body your choice- ignore the vaccine sales task force.[/quote]
Thank you! Yes I intend to ignore them! Your right my body my choice! Can't believe we have become a society where you ask people for there health records!

[quote PacifyLulu]**@Wherediditgo* fortunately for @kittykat93* I don’t think your definition of “stupid” is too accurate so I think she can rest easy.
You’re starting to sound like OP’s sock puppet.[/quote]
I’m OP’s sock puppet because I disagreed with the pile on regarding chicken soup gate? (As many others did)
And for pointing out that it is u fair to assume that someone is stupid because they have chosen not to get vaccinated?

In my book, they’re rational points of view. You’re just looking for something to attack now after being put in your place!

Wherediditgo · 27/06/2021 14:05

Also - you have no idea what my definition of ‘stupid’ actually is….

Well, maybe you do actually….

MrsLCSofLichfield · 27/06/2021 14:37

You can be an intelligent person and still make stupid decisions. You can get sick and still hate chicken soup. You can tell people to get back in their box, and find that they just ignore you.

PacifyLulu · 27/06/2021 15:35

@Wherediditgo do you think you put me in my place? I think you made some ill-thought out points at best.... I don’t feel put in my place at all.

PacifyLulu · 27/06/2021 15:36

OP yes of course it’s your body your choice but don’t look for sympathy when you get covid after refusing the vaccine.

Roch91 · 27/06/2021 15:47

OP yes of course it’s your body your choice but don’t look for sympathy when you get covid after refusing the vaccine.
You clearly don't like this thread so why you still on here!! You are right it is my body & guess what you could of just carried on scrolling by if you didn't agree!

That’s not how forums work though - if all you wanted was an echo chamber of your own thoughts for validation then go to a group of trusted friends, not a group of strangers on the internet. Unsurprisingly, some of us will have different views to you and we have every right to air them here. This is, after all, a public discussion board.

Agree!! We all have different views!! I accept that some people won't like my views & some people won't like the fact I do not want the vaccine! But to speak to people like shit & try & talk down to them just because they have different views says a lot about them really!!

@PacifyLulu no you probably ate chocolate during COVID to comfort eat your feelings away.

I disagree. Many other posters pointed out how ill-thought out your points were behind being aghast that someone would suggest an ill person might want to take in plenty of fluids, including chicken soup by proclaiming

“but the WHO and NHS haven’t recommended it!!”

Shows a low EQ, in my opinion. As do most of your other posts on this thread.

You have a right to air them… We have a right to tell you that they’re ridiculous.

I’ve never been the subject of a mn pile-on before Grin (albeit a little one)

Come to think of it, me neither!

Truce?? (Here is a sort of olive branch —->Flowers)

PacifyLulu · 27/06/2021 18:46

Yes, thank you @Wherediditgo. Flowers

Also, I’ve only just seen the pendant / pedant post - not sure how i missed it before and I’ll admit, it made me lol at myself.

Smile

If nothing else, I’m laughing at myself for spending a Sunday afternoon arguing over chicken soup Grin

Too much stress/anxiety at the moment I think Flowers

PacifyLulu · 27/06/2021 18:58

Thank you for taking the time to offer a truce. Smile

faithfulbird20 · 27/06/2021 20:15

@CrappyBirthday2Me thank you 🙏

faithfulbird20 · 27/06/2021 20:24

@Wherediditgo thank you. I hope this thread makes the papers (joking) just for the chicken soup.

justasking111 · 27/06/2021 23:31
