Many thanks mate,Not good mate. Certainly no need to apologise, I do think part of the problem is the media in this who rarely focus on non deaths. It's all well and good saying it only effects 80 year olds but it doesn't. The chance of death is much higher with them, but you rarely see the damage it can do to younger people. Think I've said before, my fit and healthy friends were knocked for 6, couldn't barely move for days, and still now, 4 months later struggle. I actually asked her Friday, she said her bf is pretty much back to normal now, apart from his taste and smell, which are there, but things still taste and smell either weaker or different. She on the other hand still can't do anything energetic without getting badly out of breath. If she goes in the shower, gets out, gets dried and dries her hair, she has to sit for 30 minutes as she struggles to breathe. She said she cleaned the kitchen windows inside and out and had to lie down for an hour, usually she does all the windows in one go and then more cleaning like hoovering and stuff no bother.
I do worry about long term effects of it, especially on younger people who have had no symptoms, I have a feeling it's weakening people, while they are young and fit they don't notice but it might show the damage when they get older
Fingers crossed for your mate, hope he recovers pretty quickly mate, and big toes crossed that you get through it with no symptoms if by chance you do test positive
I think it's just SSP you can get but believe you can apply for a £500 one off payment if you are on a low income (which doesn't seem to be specified) or on UC. That is if test and trace have told you to self isolate

I'm not massively up to date on it though mate so not 100%
Col
I do feel terrible now in regards to my attitude towards how I held myself about corona and some of my post, Iam sorry for that.
and will make my own thread after I get my results and see how my trainee is the poor kid.
honestly I can imagine people thinking ‘ ha now he’s been proven wrong’
but i couldn’t feel worse, just as Covid ain’t touched me or mine since the outbreak I felt invincible, I was a utter fool and Iam shamed and no matter what anyone calls me on here for it now I’ll take that on the chin col, I can’t defend what I said no longer and won’t.
the media are a joke and yes project fear is massive, but behind the media BS some poor twat is in ICU without a breath.
for the record I’m not proud of myself one bit and should my daughter read some of what I posted regarding this when she’s old enough she would be disgusted with her father.
I’ll look into my £500 payment mate tomorrow, I’ve got HR calling me at 9 about it all.
cheers for the help and not gloating that I was wrong, terribly wrong.
I just hope at the moment that young kid I work with is ok, it’s all I can think of and how utterly idiotic I was, Jesus Colin it scares me how I just brushed this off like it was a cold.
I’ll update tomoz when I get my results, I’ve had to open a drink tbh.. really feel like terrible mate.
