Why haven't I had covid?

Might be my genes. Might be the fat capsules of nsaids I swallow every day. Might be my stay at home stay well habits. Might be I HAVE had it but been unaware, because some of those other weird symptoms might just have been signals I ignored - like these ones...

Who knows? This bug is just weird.

A friend of mine has just learned that she has been infected. For the first day she thought it was a particularly bad hangover.

All of my family have had it, except for me (touch wood) mind you I am being particularly careful because of my heart condition , but covid struck in another way yesterday as I was supposed to go into hospital Monday morning, Sunday night I was rung up, procedure cancelled due to lack of staff that are off with covid.

So I can uncross all these digits then? Let us know the new date when you get it, so we can go back to sending out all that white light and stuff...

I was also reading a study that people who have had the measles vaccine have had less covid symptoms, hence why some younger people have not had it (or at least knowingly)
The hypothesis goes that measles and covid share a similar protien that the vaccine produces, hence some shared immunity.

But in general i think its inevitable that not everybody will get covid, but alot of people I know have had it, but one friend of mine only just caught it last week from his workmate.

Yep uncross everything because no doubt it could be very uncomfortable.

It was making drinking my cuppa a bit of a challenge. But it was a small sacrifice to ensure your continued curmudgeonly good health.

There's also the well known G.O.B.  - grumpy old bugger, which even I can do from time to time, but it wears off.
I've not had any of those weirder symptoms, & some of my lot have had covid but taken care to avoid me; I wish they'd find an actual cure for it.

A cure for your lot or for Covid

Well.....both would  be nice, but I've got sort of used to that lot so I'd settle for a cure for covid.

They're now saying that covid may be around for five years & that eventually a vaccine may be the way to control it.

my Doc reckons we will end up with a combined flu/covid vaccine eventually

[Oldfellah]

I'm in agreement I think that for those who want it there will be a yearly Covid shot to go alongside the flu shot.

I would also like to see funded antibody testing. To pick up those silent cases.
