Just wondering if this is it now? Since all restrictions were dropped the cases in my area have gone absolutely crazy. Schools having to close year groups due to staff shortages, and just about everyone I know either having it or recently had it in their household. Myself included, for the 2nd time in 6 months.
I can only imagine cases are going to soar even higher with the imminent end of free testing.
I totally get we’re all sick to the back teeth of covid, and I’m not a supporter of restrictions and lockdowns, but I hate to say that it’s all looking a bit grim. People may not be getting seriously ill, generally speaking, but for many it’s a virus nasty enough to put you on your ass for a week or two. With so many reinfections at the moment I’m also not holding out too much hope for the herd immunity theory, because it just doesn’t seem to be happening from what I’m seeing. It seems quite common for people to be getting it 2-3 months after the last time which is kinda alarming when it makes you ill enough to disrupt everything in your life (and if like me you’re self employed so aren’t well enough to earn any money).
It’s just dawned on me that this could well be it now, just constantly taking turns with covid every few months. I know other bugs existed before covid, but I can’t remember the last time I was ill before covid came along, not for quite a few years.
Sorry for the depressing thread, I’m just lying in the bath with my lungs on fire feeling a bit bleak.
