Iâm a flu survivor.
Was in bad way for 4 or 5 days one Christmas. Couldnât get out of bed.
Did the missus do the barbecue that year?
That was before I became a pit master

Iâve had two bad flus in my life. Got hit with that Aussie one there 3/4 years backs and was in awful state of sweats and fever for about 2-3 days. The other one was when I was in Uni.
I could certainly see how it would cause serious issues to some elderly or in poor health but generally itâs a few days penance.
I was playing football at the time I was in Uni and I must have had long flu as it took me about 2/3 months to regain my full level of fitness. My nose would be running like a tap for the first two months back training.
Flu is a very valid comparison with Covid, itâs generally mild but can be very serious at times, it generally wonât effect fit and healthy people adversely but there are rare cases in which it does (eg Christopher Colhoun). Flu is obviously a lot more established and generally people arenât frightened of it whereas some people are still living in an April 2020 mindset with images of Italy in their head at the original outbreak. Everything was novel and unknown then but we know by now itâs not a threat at all realistically if youâre fit and healthy. If you live in fear of the 1 in 20k chance you will get severely ill or die from it, you may stay under the bed.
Iâm not scared of the virus or the vaccine really for that matter, I just like to exercise my obstinance into being forced to something that has no benefits and the threats and intimidation used to try and make me do it. I donât play ball with that and I think itâs a much more prevalent in us Ulster folk. People can make their own minds up, trying to force people into doing it is going to be met with resistance.

What a load of shite.
No argument at all as usual.
Youâre a bedwetter with a sharp tongue that pretends to have a social conscience.

Youâd imagine that would be the most important question but it seems people arenât allowed have minor short term illnesses any more.
It went out of fashion about two years ago.

I read the reuters article:
Health authorities said the individuals infected were so far displaying mild symptoms, with none hospitalised.
âIt is still too early to say whether the clinical picture of the disease is different in Omicron infections than in Delta infections,â Aavitsland said.
âNone of the patients has severe symptoms; none is hospitalised. However, this is not unexpected given the young age of the participants.â
