Also the amount of work people were doing increased when we started working from home.

2 weeks after testing negative my symptoms have returned (muscle ache, headache, fatigue, blocked nose). Still testing negative so don't know if something else but symptoms very same just not quite as bad.

Anyone else experienced that?

My wife developed a bit of a cough after but that seems to have gone but nothing as extreme as your saying.

Could it be hayfever?

No, I don't think so. I've never suffered from hayfever

Yeah, I had those symptoms in January, Tom. I repeatedly tested negative but I felt so rough and my family had COVID.

Did they go and come back, for you or your family?

After I had those muscle pains 2 weeks a go, I now have a really blocked nose and tiredness. Testing negative but I’ve been to,d it could be hayfever despite never having suffered from it before.

I can't speak for these symptoms, but it's really common for Covid-related taste/smell symptoms to take place, then temporarily regulate, and then impair again (which is what happened to me and here we are over two years on). It's one of the fascinating and unique (as far as I know) things about Covid-19 compared to other viruses and the pathophysiology underpinning this hasn't been fully worked out as far as I'm aware. Would be interesting if this is what you're experiencing.

I was rough again in February but I think that was a non-covid bug. Thankfully no-one else in the family has had the symptoms return! Hope that you're soon well again, dude.

I've decided to up my mask game. Any suggestions for what I should be wearing and a reputable company that makes them/sells them. Scrolling through Amazon and I'm not sure which are the real deal and which are shoddy cash-ins

Have been using this company for masks since just before they became a "thing" here and not had any issues.

Failed my PCR test to fly overseas for work.

I'm absolutely gutted to say the least. I had covid last week and have recovered fully. I have been getting Negative LFD's since Monday.

Next flight isn't until 7th May which is the worst bit!

Does anyone know what the stats mean?

Apprently I tested 32.1 CQ and I need around 37/38 CQ to have passed as negative.

I asked work if I could do another Emergency PCR today as flight isn't until this evening. But they said no.

I have a feeling that another further day recovery and I may have passed, but I guess I'll never know.

Now I'm stuck in Wales with mum until 7th May trying to work 'remotely' yay.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/interactive/2022/china-researcher-covid-19-coverup/?itid=hp_opinions

If the paywall kicks in, try this link.

THE WASHINGTON POST’S VIEW

Opinion: As the pandemic exploded, a researcher saw the danger. China’s leaders kept silent.

Her story points to a coverup with tragic consequences of historic proportion. A severe danger was concealed until it was too late. It came about because of a culture that prioritizes political stability at any cost, extraordinary state secrecy, and missteps by public health officials who did not speak out.

The episode serves to underscore once again why a serious investigation is needed to get to the bottom of how the pandemic began. The virus’s origins might have been caused by a zoonotic spillover, a bat coronavirus jumping to humans, possibly with an intermediate host. Or it might have been an inadvertent leak from a laboratory in Wuhan studying bat coronaviruses. Only by learning what really transpired can we reach any conclusions about how to prevent it from happening again. China could go a long way toward finding the answers, but instead it has slammed the door on further inquiry.

Little Mountain Dog wondered how the Wuhan patient got infected. Her first thought, she wrote, was “the history of contact with wild animals,” maybe with bats. But “it was also suspected that some staff working somewhere with man-made viruses may have been infected by accident because of careless handling” — a possibility a colleague had mentioned to her on Dec. 27, recalling a very recent Brucellosis outbreak after an accident at a vaccine plant in China. That colleague also noted at the time that the Wuhan Institute of Virology “is located nearby.”

I do wonder if we'll ever get a smoking gun level of evidence for either origin explanation, but that the Wuhan Accidental Lab Leak is seen just as credible as the filthy unhygienic wet market explanation is an incredible transformation from how it was seen 2 years ago. Even outside of low-trust political systems, accidental lab leaks have happened far more frequently than probably most people would expect, the foot & mouth outbreak in 2007 was caused by a lab leak in Surrey. What I would have considered a "less than once per decade event" is actually much more frequent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laboratory_biosecurity_incidents - from 2000 onwards it seems to be more like a yearly event.
