Well, that’s been an experience. I probably caught the WuFlu on the ferry from Liverpool going by the incubation period.
On Tuesday morning I felt shivery and had a dull headache. Over the next twenty four hours the usual symptoms worked their way through me. As mentioned in the comments on the previous post, it’s been worse than a cold but not as bad as full blown flu.
The worst part has been the fatigue. Given that I’m away from home and have to return on Monday, I’ve been a bit concerned. However, today I’ve perked up rather suddenly. So I’m feeling upbeat about being OK for the ride home. Indeed, having missed Wednesday’s racing, I’m determined to see the senior tomorrow.
Now, the hundred dollar question. Would the jibby jabby have made a difference?
While there is no surefire scientific way of telling, my experience seems to match others regardless of vaccination status – three to four days, so on a balance of probabilities I don’t believe so. So, no, I do not regret my decision as my immune system has done its job.
And as alluded to in the previous comments, for this, we trashed our economy, destroyed lives and livelihoods and have made our health service an even bigger mess than it already was. I hope that someone, somewhere thinks that it was all worth it because I damned well don’t.
To be fair, the earlier incarnations of the virus were much more serious and often fatal. Why some are still panicking now is a bit of a mystery. My wife and I have both now had it, she had the same symptoms but more of a snotty nose and has been ill slightly longer. Both of us have had three jabs, although the last one was months ago now, and our affliction seems to have been just slightly less serious than yours. There is a good video up at Samizdata with an interview that discusses the whole Covid saga in a very sensible and informative way.

The worst part has been the fatigue
Sorry to hear that, in last 40+ years I’ve never had fatigue from any viral infection. Only some symptoms I can cope with and carry on as normal. We’re all different
What has hit me hard several times is food poisoning, the hard mostly due to debilitation from vomit & diarrhoea. Seems to be fixed now as none for 20+ years due to a constant ‘less safe’ diet
Pleased to hear Covid gone overnight. Keep up the positive thinking & belief
@Stony
Previous strains were no worse, I had alpha variant and it was less than omicron – I didn’t need to go to bed an hour early
As for the wuhan poison jab: for omicron it makes illness more likely, worse and longer
Always read msds before taking a new, experimental drug, with a perspicacious mind. Especially if it’s being pushed and bribes, coercion, mandates etc employed
Anyone here who took the jab(s) can you honestly say you were not coerced? FH211?
As for lockdown, masks etc: pure insanity driven by msm to enable a state powergrab
Good read: 16 min if slow
Rusere Shoniwa on Left Lockdown Sceptics sets out a case for why the Government shouldn’t pay compensation to the vaccine injured or their families (it’s because someone else should, but they were given immunity)

If it wasn’t for the fatigue, I’d have been over it in twenty four hours. Still getting a bit of brain fog though.
You’ve been lucky to get it now when the strain is less serious. I had a friend die in 2021 after catching COVID
Without context, this is meaningless. The vast majority who caught the earlier strains did not die.
Even at its most virulent the death rate was around 1%. Very few people ended up being hospitalised or ended up in ICU, let alone died of this disease, despite the hysterical reporting. Had I caught it then, the most likely outcome would have been longer in bed.
So, I’m sorry that your friend died, but that doesn’t mean that others would have done so had they caught it at the same time. Like flu, it is lethal to those with underlying comorbidities. For the rest of us, it’s an unpleasant inconvenience.
Two friends of mine have had the bug.Both fully jabbed and avid mask wearers. Run down for 3 days and now back firing on all cylinders. And still the circus rolls on.
The continuing stupidity is what gets me. We went to Specsavers a week ago: they’ve still got their staff in mask and paranoia mode. I won’t have the jabs, the memsahib’s had some and suffered as a result. We tested positive for wuflu: I had a two-day bad cold, she had the same but it lasted nearly two weeks. Just a coincidence, I suppose . . .
I didn’t know covid was still around. No-one around here seems to be bothered about it any more. If I do feel unwell I’ll just assume it’s a cold. I certainly have no intention of testing myself.
The only reason I tested was because I am sharing accommodation with an elderly diabetic. If I’d been at home, I’d have not bothered.
What was interesting was the chap who delivered the test kits. He knocked at the door and then retreated to the gate. Our landlady’s grandson on the other hand came in to help her with the test. He’s had it himself and dismissed it as nothing much.

And testing rsulted in what? Feelings of misery, dread, fear, anxiety, uncertainty, must isolate… all which inhibit immune system
When Gov’t bans treatmet, testing only exacerbates and prolongs problem
It’s as if nobody “safe and effictively” jabbed 2, 3, 4 soon 5 times to protect themselves…

New Covid Wave in Quadruple-Vaccinated Israel
The positive test rate is currently over 20%, masks have been recommended for the public indoors and a fifth-dose rollout has been mooted
No fear or anxiety, merely confirmation of what I’d worked out for myself. I’m staying in someone else’s house, so politeness prevailed.
It seems to be gradually becoming clear that the “vaccines” have been pretty ineffective. Yes I had the jabs and was very mildly afflicted for slightly over 24 hours. My wife had the same and still has a cough and snotty nose after several days. Testimony from the unjabbed here and elsewhere seem to show very little difference in outcomes.
On testing. I’ve been testing myself, I’m curious about the relationship between feeling ill and the test results. Testing first thing in the morning has given positive results for three days after I was feeling better. Went swimming this morning and tested when I got home and got a negative. Washing your nose out with chlorinated water seems to be the key.
Sounds about right.
@Stony
It seems to be gradually becoming clear that the “vaccines” have been pretty ineffective. Yes I had the jabs and… caught Covid despite the “safe and effective” poison jabs
“gradually becoming clear that the “vaccines” have been pretty ineffective”
Gradually? It was clear a year ago that they increased not decreased infections, hospitalisation and deaths
Sorry to bring bad news, but you will keep catching new variants of Covid-19 forever, as Israel and now UK & EU showing with BA.4 & BA.5
Each booster & each infection is another game of Russian Roulette
Should have read the msds
We now have a mass ‘Typhoid Mary’ pandemic of the jabbed, yet healthy unjabbed still punished
Oh and: Stop f*cking testing yourself, live normally
The point being made was that they do not appear to mitigate symptoms. This was the one benefit they were supposed to have and they fail at that.
@LR
they do not appear to mitigate symptoms
Appear redundant. MSDS said they ‘might’, but…
That’s why I called it out in Dec 2020
Initially the jabs were promoted as stopping infection & spread in old and vulnerable, once done we’re free
Then over 50’s, once done we’re free
Then over 40’s, once done we’re free
Then vax pass
Then, when proved false by Starmer, Biden etc infected again, message changed:
Prevents illness, hospitalisation, icu, death: jab to save NHS. Selfish unvax, vax pass
Then, prevents hospitalisation , icu, death: jab to save NHS. Selfish unvax, vax pass
Then, prevents icu, death: jab to save NHS. Selfish unvax, vax pass
Then prevents death: jab to save you
Then, we’re not publishing vax/unvax figures anymore
Now: You’re an addict. Take 4th, 5th dose of drug to stay happy. Don’t mention the unjabbed
Should have read the msds
Stop f*cking testing yourself, live normally
@LR
Were you at sidecar race?
Yes. Not that we knew what was going on.
On ~30 mile course didn’t thnk you’d have been at scene
How sidecars have changed since 1980s mostly YZ750s
Hate how msm is all over this 5 [maybe 6 7 now] deaths at TT, ban it. They report as if it’s one race
Deaths per mile raced per person are low, probably lower than F2, F3, and other high speed bike/car racing. Plus, they died doing what they loved and lived for
The death rate was higher this year. Five over two weeks. Both sidecars at the same location, which is curious.
All forms of sport involve risk. Risk is in our DNA it’s how we survived. Some people simply cannot cope with the idea. They are the same people who would ban smoking, drinking, eating meat and so on.
On the subject of risk in sport, have you noticed you rarely see that virtue-signaller Lewis Hamilton without a muzzle on his chops? Here’s someone who participates in one of the most risky sports around, and he’s scared of a virus that is probably no threat to him.

The competitors know the dangers – Steve Plater on Isle of Man TT deaths

Yep, I knew and accepted risks of bicycle, roller-skates, ski-ing, fast biking/driving
I’ve always had a ‘need for speed’ (adrenaline) and the benefits outweighed the costs, importantly I knew and accepted my limitations after first ‘crash & burn’ knockout on tricyle aged three
I thought this was good: rider “as I became more comfortable with bike…”. Every time bike/car I start slow and gradually increase

Re: “curious”
Induced panic by previous crash event and/or challening corner for sidecars and pushing beyond capability
Re: “Risk is in our DNA”
Yes and that’s how we’ve advanced – from the risk takers who left Africa onwards
“Some people simply cannot cope with the idea” (Usually females) – which is OK, but Not when they compel others to to be the same
Isn’t Diversity the accepted norm?
btw: do/did you play any ball, bat, raquet games?
No. Judo, archery and cycling – although not competitively.
Done all three plus karate, enjoyable
I asked about ball sports as many of fast biker/car friends like playing squash, table tennis but not tennis and none badminton. Also little or no interest in football & rugby
Once two badminton players challened a friend and I to a game as squash court closed for refurb
We thrahed them even though never played before. It was like playing squash in slow motion
I’ve just had some work done on a tooth that I had knocked out while doing karate in the 1980s. The cap came loose and the dentist has fixed it back on with a warning that he can’t be sure how long the repair will last. Then I’m looking at forking out two and a half grand for an implant. I suppose that, when I wandered into Tickton Village Hall in 1979, I had some idea that Karate might be dangerous, I don’t really remember. I could never play ball games, my hand eye coordination was always rubbish.
