Watching sky news yesterday and the report from the Isle of Man about reopening. They are completely free from it, bars jammmed everyone hugging etc.
Interviewed some old timer and he was perfectly ok with the people they jailed for 4 weeks for not obeying lockdown 
You sound just like @BruidheanChaorthainn yet before there was any lockdown he was on here all the time and doing none of the above.
Iâve never seen two posters with such similar posting styles⌠@Perez2017 will have to do a deep dive here.

On international travel, Iâm working from 6 this evening until 6 tomorrow morning. I will deal with 4 flights in the entire airport in that time. Theyâll all be practically empty.

Can I get the official TFK line here, long Covid is a giant COD and anybody claiming it is a lazy cunt or imagining it?
Because Iâve heard that it can be quite debilitating

No I donât think anyone is seriously calling it, or the virus for that matter a cod.
My opinion is that the multitude of various conditions or ailments people who have gotten COVID and subsequently developed are being attributed to COVID too readily.

Have many called it a cod?
It sounds a lot like ME or yuppie flu. One of the treatments for that is CBT.
Fatigue post viral infections such as glandular fever is not uncommon. We also have vaccination placebo results that showed half the people or more had symptoms after a shot of saline.
The brain is a funny thing.
sleep problems
- muscle or joint pain
- headaches
- a sore throat or sore glands that are not swollen
- problems thinking, remembering or concentrating
- flu-like symptoms
- feeling dizzy or sick
- fast or irregular heartbeats (heart palpitations)
Most people find overexercising makes their symptoms worse.
The severity of symptoms can vary from day to day, or even within a day.

Cod or no cod?
Sometimes a cod?

Iâm saying that a lot of symptoms have no physical cause but manifest themselves anyway. Makes them no less real to the person and itâs why every drug trial has a placebo.
The more long Covid is talked about the more people will experience it.
For now Long Covid is a made up term that does not really mean anything. Itâs at best anecdote driven and at worst is a condition that will be created and worsened by media attention.
It would be more accurate to say to people that in some cases people experience fatigue and other symptoms post viral infections and if affected talk to their GP.
Nocebo is as real as placebo. Itâs fascinating we can think ourselves sick or think ourselves better.

I had a virus back in January that knocked me right out for a few days. It took me a good two months for the cough to pass completely. Iâve no doubt long covid is a thing for some people.
Itâs the term I have an issue with and the reporting of it. Itâs a coverall term for a myriad of symptoms ranging from scarred lung tissue to depression to fatigue all of which are the after effects of being sick. We donât have long cancer or long pneumonia or long flu but now we have the need for long covid. I find it curious.
