I should be rushing about now getting things in order for ours that would have been due in 3 weeks time. There are lot of us in the same boat at the moment, excuse the pun😉, but very little we can do about it unfortunately, except look forward to next year. Stay safe, take care.

wowzz Posted October 6, 2020 #6827 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Well, Lady W and I have both got common or garden colds. No CV19 symptoms, just a runny nose and a slightly under the weather feeling. First colds we have had in over 3 years we reckon, as our Lemsip sachets are out of code! I blame our trip to exotic Devon - obviously different infectious strains down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the scale of things, my cold is a mere bagatelle. However, if I may make a serious point, whilst everyone is studying the daily CV19 figures to the n'th degree, many, many more people are suffering from other illnesses and life threatening conditions (not my cold obviously) and they are being forgotten and neglected due to the myopic fixation on CV19. Sorry for a miserable start to the day! I'm hoping to mow the lawn today - last cut of the year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very serious point, Wowzz (hope you're both over your colds quickly, by the way) and it's starting at last to surface. There's a reasonably simple solution, of course, but it's political dynamite - keep the highest risk groups protected, but allow everyone else to carry on more or less normally to build up herd immunity. I think we'll inevitably come to that (and as one of those most likely to be impacted, I accept it) - just a matter of time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, doubt they'll use the words "herd immunity" again - they'll come up with a impressively baffling new name.
