Captain Colonial Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Just what I wanted - Covid. I’ve managed to go 2 years without it - I guess with 75% of the population having had it, it was inevitable. A tad worried though as I was in the shielding group. Wish me luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve (sdh2903) Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 At least you've picked a 'better' strain to catch. Hope all goes OK. 🤞👍 Fwiw my mum caught it a fortnight ago, mid 70s classed as vulnerable and was in the shielding group as she has copd. She was scared stiff. She came through just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that’s reassuring and appreciated, glad your mum came through it fine. 😊👍 I communicated the news to to rest of the committee via WhatsApp with the above photo, and @Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary said from that photo I was pregnant. I replied if I was, I wanted to know who the father was, because I don’t remember a thing! 🤬 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Good Luck Scott! As you might remember, my Good Lady is also clinically extremely vulnerable and she's avoided it so far too. As another poster said, you've waited until the more dangerous strains have passed hopefully. Please keep us informed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 SHMBO has it at the moment too and is currently sat on the sofa feeling groggy and watching crap tv. im doing my best to stay away from her so I don’t catch it too, so more time in the garage for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 @Scott Young (Captain Colonial) - Club Secretary I share your trepidation, being in the semi-shielding set myself (and still avoiding it so far). But a friend of ours has leukemia and her consultant has told her not to worry too much about Covid as 'it's not what it was' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arm Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hope you are ok. Was inevitable. Seems the uk strategy has not been as bad as feared 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff oakley Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I am sure you will be fine Scott. My daughter works around your area and at the moment they have very few Covid patients in ITU and most of those are unvaccinated. However, if you have an oxygen saturation test machine use it and if the levels drop go to A&E do not call 111 as some well meaning young kid will read off a script and delay treatment. As I said I am sure you will be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arm Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 My oxygen dipped to 92 . Was sent to hospital. I waited outside whilst wife enquired what to do and where to go. They said go in and wait in corner. We explained what it might be. When got to see nurse she ranted and ranted on why I had gone to hospital with suspected covid !! Needless to say I counted to ten and then retaliated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatman Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Captain C, I hope you are suffering only mild symptoms and that they disappear soon.
