manboobs109 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hmm, looked online, mostly saying a dry cough rather than phlegm. Might be old fashioned covid or something less serious like lung cancer. Link to comment
Zeus Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 How accurate are those LFTs? Was blocked up, coughing, dull sare heid for 3-4 days last week that painkillers didn't out away. Did 2 that were negative. Kind of hope it was covid just to get it out of way and was no worse than a cold/cough Link to comment

Had to take 4 pcrs around that time and was always negative. Cold/flu still happens. Link to comment
Zeus Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Aye exactly. Was probably worse than covid to be fair 3 folk I've been in direct contact with have it just now. Fuck all wrong with them Link to comment

First few lateral flows were negative, PCR came back positive then lateral flow showed faint positive line. They seem to take a bit longer to pick it up ? Link to comment
cheesepipes Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The Scottish man has been coughing up greeners in the colder seasons since time began. Start the day with a huge hack down the sink and get right into business. Coffee, youtube, breakfast. 1 Link to comment

Sooper-hanz Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Greeners is a bacterial infection is it not? Or the common cold (which is viral). Fuck knows. Probs not Covids though. Link to comment

Just for clarity, what I inferred from your initial post (perhaps wrongly) was that you believed the increase in LFT's being done was due to huge swathes of people all hoping to get a positive test so that they could skive off work. I don't believe that is the case. Unfortunately I wasn't clear in my reply. There will be some people who'd happily have symptomless Covid and get paid time off work. In no way do I think this explains a big upsurge in LFT's being done over the festive period though. Poor communication previously. Link to comment

Just going by my own experiences over the past couple of weeks Parko. Multiply that by the general populas and that to me explains the huge rise in LF tests.It's obvious to me what is happening.

Id say a rise in LFT's being carried out over Christmas is due to folk doing them prior to mixing with more vulnerable family members. Pointless argument though as we can never prove it one way or another. ? Link to comment

Had a cunt of a cold in early December but took loads of LFT's and every single one was negative. Id expected to get it at some point, as I interact with so many people at work. Just been lucky, so far... Link to comment

cheesepipes Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I know Twitter is jam packed full of dramatic fucking attention seekers..... That blond bint fae Aberdeen being one of the worst (she put out a belter of an attention-seeking post a couple of days ago) but there are still grown fully healthy adults getting thoughts and prayers from other healthy adults over getting this cough, even being a contact gets messages of support as if you were going in for open heart surgery.

There's surely an unfair dismissal claim that's easily winnable there? The line that "you are not allowed back as a customer" sums up how much of a prick the guy who wrote that is. Link to comment

Aye, couple of days ago was a belter, cant be assed digging it out but it was a thinly veiled "i might do something daft" Clearly wasn't getting enough sympathy. A pile of desperate men then scramble over themselves to get in a message of support. "i dont know you but im here to chat anytime you want" Yes divorced 55 year old man, im sure you are.
