Still around 3 people I know all went down with covid after their Xmas party..

So: 6,962,817 people have died so far from the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak as of January 03, 2024, 10:55 GMT.
That's Worldwide...

I have now lost count of the number of times I've tested positive for Covid, and have just spent my second Christmas isolating with it. Even with the vaccines, each time I've had it I've felt less well, although overall the symptoms have been different, but I've never had it really bad or for a long time. Oddly, after a long period without having any signs of Covid, that didn't stop me being hospitalised 18 months ago with Severe Post Covid Complications (had I not called 999 when I did my life story would likely have been shorter).
Covid, in all it's strains and variants, is a very unusual virus, and affects everyone so differently. Those that still deny it exits are delusional at best (and fools in the extreme).

"Those that still deny it exits are delusional at best (and fools in the extreme)."

I think that way as well. But the severity of it's symptoms seems ridiculously widespread. Although I've had it a few times (not entirely sure of the number as my better half is in bed, so cannot corroborate) I've hardly felt ill at all. Everyone I know has a different tale to tell, even my wife, who suffered so badly after each of our injections whilst my arm just felt a little tender for half a day.

I’ve lost count the amount of covid jabs I’ve had only to say my arm looks like a second hand darts board.
