Same, just coming out of isolation soon. If omicron is mild I'm glad I didn't get the earlier variants. All the family got it, so I suppose it's great to get it over with. No more worry about kids bringing it home from school.
Interesting. I had it over Christmas and bar a very scratchy throat for a day it was basically just a massive inconvenience that I was stuck in one room isolating. Was incredibly mild (had been boosted beforehand which maybe helped).
I've had issues with pneumonia previously, so it affected me more I suppose. Glad you all are doing well.
It’s funny how much it can vary from person to person. For me it was just like a bad cold. Bit of a cough, aches and pains and a little bit brain dead for 2 days. After that it was gone and I felt fine. I’d imagine without the vaccine it would have been a very different story though.
Yea it varies a lot, my mother in law was hospitalised for about a week with pneumonia last year and picked up Covid a few weeks ago and she was absolutely fine, no issues at all.
My wife caught it over Christmas the day we were meant to go for boosters. She had 4 or so bad days and tested negative by day 8.
I caught it about 2 weeks ago (boosted). Had two bad days of a head cold and a bit of tiredness and tested negative by day 7.
My dad caught it off me (mid-60s). Had a slight sniffle for 2 days but was testing positive for 14 days - only tested negative for the first time today.
The variation from person to person is mad.
I have it at the moment, it's like the mildest cold I've ever had in my life. The better half has it worse, hers is more like a flu than a cold. Then the kids have it too and you wouldn't even know, zero symptoms.
I'm boosted too. Had 2-3 days of feeling like a really bad flu, aches and chills, freezing cold even sitting beside the stove, couldn't warm up at all. No bad head cold symptoms, slight cough that's almost gone. But on day 11 now and still testing positive, and feeling absolutely wrecked, I don't think I've ever felt this tired.
Wife tested positive yesterday, no symptoms. Kids all got it, the baby was fine, older 2 had fever for a day up to 39.8C but we're over it as soon as the fever was gone.
I’m going to come out of the cupboard and admit I’ve not had Covid.
Me neither, that I'm aware of. Though our Scout troop is back next week, no doubt I'll catch it from one of the youth or a parent or something.
I haven't yet either. Fully expecting to catch it at some point though
My OH was the same with it over Christmas and is still tired a month later
Bizarrely I never tested positive
Anyone had a go on Rugby 22 which was released today? Have been stung too many times by rugby games in the last few years but it actually looks decent enough.

Is it just me, or are people more moany/whingey these days (yes I do realise I'm effectively here doing the same)? I just read someone on Reddit giving out that they didn't get a reply from a potential landlord to say they didn't get a property, then called landlords the worst people in the World. Another large thread about what the Government is doing to stop rising prices, including one suggestion we should lower taxes and borrow to do it, because it's effectively free money.
Maybe I'm just getting old.
While I wouldn't bother my arse going on Reddit to complain about it, landlords (and people in general) not doing the courtesy of informing you you didn't get the property is an absolute ballache.
Is it not a case of if you don't hear back, you're not getting it? Why do you need someone to tell you specifically you're not getting it? A property could have a hell of a lot of interest, is the landlord supposed to contact every single one to tell them? I hear people with similar tales about not hearing back after submitting a CV. Do they not understand there could be 100s of applicants, and to reply to every one just isn't a runner.
Personally if I was that interested in a property, I'd be proactively chasing the landlord for an answer. Not sitting there waiting for them to contact me.
Because you generally do not know when the transition from "not heard back yet" to "application obviously thrown in the bin" is.
Not responding to CVs similarly is the height of rudeness and **** behaviour. Any company is well capable of flying off 100s of emails to unsuccessful applicants, they just don't bother.
While I would love to be polite and fire off 100s of emails, it would take me days, and I don't have days to give for free. I'm guessing most businesses are the same. I'd take no response as a response personally. I wouldn't get precious and start moaning online.
It would take you days to send off a generic email notifying people they were unsuccessful? You must work in the public sector.
Even at that, large companies will have CRM-type systems that could do this with pretty minimal effort, and not need it to be a manual effort.
Manners maketh the man. Or not.
Even without a CRM system, a simple list of email addresses of everyone who applied can be copy and pasted into a BCC email list telling them thanks but no thanks. We're not talking hand-written letters with detailed feedback
And how do you compile the list of emails. It all takes time.
Just to clarify, if I had the time and resources to send a reply to everyone I would. Practically though. I doubt a lot of business's do.
If the company takes submissions through its website, that's trivial. If they need CVs printed out and handed in by someone who knows a fella in HR it's a bit more difficult.
If it was in the hundreds, absolutely. No, not in the public sector. I work for myself and have excellent computer skills. But copying and pasting 100s of email addresses into a list is going to take time.
You obviously employ at least one person. You know, the guy who holds your beer.
Our resident dad joke expert.
That’s what the CRM type system is for. I worked in a semi-state for a couple of years and even there (over a decade ago) their recruitment system took in applications and the email addresses. When each application was reviewed and decisioned an automated mail could be issued without the user having to do anything. The vast majority of companies have this sort of functionality as standard. Most just choose not to use it despite being all but effort free.
Exactly. I was working for few months last year in civ service using CRM and we could send through the system emails to any/all once applications were assessed etc or future details required for assessment to be fully carried out
The CRM is set up to streamline everything to make things far easier
