Anyway after that cleared up next step was to phone my GP and he suggested I get checked out - just in case. Had a Covid test yesterday - must admit the test centre was very well organised. A drive-through test centre. You don't even have to get out of the car. Should have results in 48 hours. Expecting it to be negative but you never know. My GP says some people have no symptoms for 5 or 6 days and then suddenly they run into a brick wall. Oh well time will tell - it always does. Have zero symptoms at present.

Turned out negative anyway. Got the results last night.

Only one reason CH. Ireland insisted on having a 'normal' Xmas. Now they are paying the price. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Seems to be a well researched, balanced article - on the face of it at least! Re variants and vaccines, etc, ... (from an SA perspective) -
