Hanging in there but nearly died in the early hours when my oxygen saturation plummeted to 33, only the ventilator and a great nurse brought me back.

 

I've had a good day, dropped oxygen levels slightly on the ventilator because my saturation level has been stable.

 

Long way to go yet though.

Bloody hell. Get well soon.

Went for another lateral flow test this morning and still haven't had the result despite getting it back after about 40 minutes when we went last week, but noticed the squaddies have been replaced by some kind of Ocean Colour Scene scallywag tribute band, me smells a Serco handover, which explains why my sample is probably half way to Kathmandu (at great expense to you).

Some people will do anything to try and chat up a pretty nurse...

 

Glad to hear you are still with us. Keep fighting.

I got one at the weekend from the civvy staff, as opposed to the army. Still got my result about an hour afterwards. But, while it seemed a bit more friendlier than before, there was definitely more of a hectic and disorganised feel to it all too. 

 

On another note, I've just dropped out of a pre-Christmas meal with mates. It would've broke the rules as more than 2 households anyway. And, the last time I went to eat out, I got a possible exposure warning on the covid app. I've decided it's not worth the risk for about an hour in a restaurant with no drinks afterwards etc as the restaurants are meant to chuck you out once you've finished your food. One quietish Christmas won't do any harm and, hopefully, we'll be back to being able to eat and drink in restaurants and bars a lot more safely in the spring.

This is the right attitude

You better not go and croak it before the next series of Mr Inbetween comes out, do you hear me?

The new Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna seem to be remarkably good at preventing serious illness. But it’s unclear how well they will curb the spread of the coronavirus.

 

That’s because the Pfizer and Moderna trials tracked only how many vaccinated people became sick with Covid-19. That leaves open the possibility that some vaccinated people get infected without developing symptoms, and could then silently transmit the virus — especially if they come in close contact with others or stop wearing masks.

 

If vaccinated people are silent spreaders of the virus, they may keep it circulating in their communities, putting unvaccinated people at risk.

 

“A lot of people are thinking that once they get vaccinated, they’re not going to have to wear masks anymore,” said Michal Tal, an immunologist at Stanford University. “It’s really going to be critical for them to know if they have to keep wearing masks, because they could still be contagious.”

In most respiratory infections, including the new coronavirus, the nose is the main port of entry. The virus rapidly multiplies there, jolting the immune system to produce a type of antibodies that are specific to mucosa, the moist tissue lining the nose, mouth, lungs and stomach. If the same person is exposed to the virus a second time, those antibodies, as well as immune cells that remember the virus, rapidly shut down the virus in the nose before it gets a chance to take hold elsewhere in the body.

The coronavirus vaccines, in contrast, are injected deep into the muscles and quickly absorbed into the blood, where they stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies. This appears to be enough protection to keep the vaccinated person from getting ill.

 

Some of those antibodies will circulate to the nasal mucosa and stand guard there, but it’s not clear how much of the antibody pool can be mobilized, or how quickly. If the answer is not much, then viruses could bloom in the nose — and be sneezed or breathed out to infect others.

 

“It’s a race: It depends whether the virus can replicate faster, or the immune system can control it faster,” said Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington in Seattle. “It’s a really important question.”

 

This is why mucosal vaccines, like the nasal spray FluMist or the oral polio vaccine, are better than intramuscular injections at fending off respiratory viruses, experts said.

She set a camera recording before she answered the door.  She then shouted the claim about her kids but her video didn't show any kids.  As far as 'evidence' goes, it's all pointing at her being a cunt. 

Really?  That’s your take?  Fucking hell.

Any new updates mate? Still all wired up or are they looking at letting you home anytime soon? 

My oxygen consumption rates / the amount of oxygen the ventilator is usi g to pump into my lungs, just like this very second, have been getting constantly dialled back because my body is accepting and holding onto oxygen molecular much better and my O2 saturation is holding.

Feeling much stronger, still gonna be several days though, touch wood.

How close are you to feeling like you could have a wank? That’ll tell us how bad you are.
