My Mother Has Got Covid19 Worried Not Good Lungs

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there after well over 2 years my mother has avoided Covid until now. She is 83 and she has had all her injections. 5 in total. Her chest is quite weak over the years she has pneumonia twice but made full recovery both times. Every time she has a cold it goes straight to her chest. She also has asthma. Every time she gets a chest infection she goes on prednisone and it sends her as high as a kite! I'm hoping she will be ok. My dad is 85 he will be at risk as well presumably? I am also a wee bit worried about myself. The last 2 days I have been exhausted nauseous and totally off my food. I felt like this last time I had Covid in May 2 days before cough and sore throat started and then I tested positive. Wasn't too bad I've had 4 injections. I've seen mum 3 times this week. Is it possible I could get infected? Could things get really bad for her I mean are people still being hospitalized with Covid who are fully vaccinated

I'm sorry to hear that your Mum is the victim of all the doubting naysayers who refuse to take precautions.

I hope she recovers (there have been many cases of people over 90 making a good recovery).

Could you explain how geordie's Mum has fallen victim to these "doubting naysayers" and what precautions you expect them to adopt?

I hope your mother makes a full recovery gordie

the vaccinations don't necessarily stop you getting Covid, but they mean it isn't so bad if you do catch it. So hopefully that will make things a bit easier for your mother

Perhaps not a bad idea if your father reduced his contact with her, though, if he's likely to be the one who has to look after her: ideally you don't want them both to pick it up. And the same goes for you. Look after yourselves.

I dont get your point either canary. Are you saying she must of caught it from some vaxx refuser ir someone who broke lockdown rules'guidance, yes its possible but its much more likely she caught it from someone like you or her or me whose been fully vaccinnated and taken precautions but just been unlucky to pick it up maybe in a supermarket or a bus or in work or in the doctors waiting room visiting /or caring for a friend or family

What on earth are you talking about, Canary?
o god galloping gormlessness overtakes the southern continent ( Oz this is!) and the judiciary

vaccinated people carry less - ( covid that is! ) Latest News, if you get vaccinated you dont get Covid - ter daah !
and if you do it is modified....

but really you knew that innit ?

[ big lovable thing about AB is people ask in their super-gromless mode " what dat den?", when they know what that is about - - - because it is funny. Dont ask me: I dont do it]

wasnt one of you saying covid=flu a year or so ago?
come on fess up ! cough !

My understanding is in a group of people if there are vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The unvaccinated people are at more risk of getting Covid than the vaccinated. I strongly believe that everyone who medically can, should have the vaccines. All my friends and family have had them. I have had 4. My parents being over 80 have had 5. I'm diabetic chubby with atrial fibrillation I would be too scared not to have it. Seeing it right at the beginning with all the people on ventilators, before vaccines scared the crap out of me so I was so grateful when I got that first jab in my arm. Yes i do worry slightly about the long term affects of the injections but I know about the short term affects of Covid and that worries me enough to get vaccinated

[Peter Pedant]

edit to:
he must of caught it from some crazy vaxx refuser, member of AB probably, deranged and inarticulate....

[jno]

yes, get the vaccine, gordie, Canary's just referring to the people who don't and may therefore be more likely to infect others. Avoid them!

[royfromaus]

My understanding is that we have been lied to time and time again. I now take what so-called experts say with a pinch of salt.

[Peter Pedant]

dont worry about vacc safety
if you vaccinate 100 000 and no one dies - then it is safe

actually it is officially - the chance of a serious effect is 1 in 30 000, and we are 99% confident in that
sort of technical

[royfromaus]

Are you making stuff up, PP ...or are you going to provide a link?

[anneasquith]

Best wishes to your parents Gordie .

[cashier]

If you have had all the vaccinations, and catch covid you can still be seriously ill. The vaccines do not mean a lighter dose.

yeah but no but - Einstein cdnt boil an egg innit - but he was OK on astrophysics

I spotted an Prof of epidemiology ( stats to you and me) [which I cant do] making an awful fool of himself over virus culture [which I can do]. Not having learnt from Areny and Grenfell ( enquiries dont work but do fill lawyers' pockers with gold) we are going to have an inquiry on it all

[Peter Pedant]

The vaccines do not mean a lighter dose.

Yes they do: I am afraid. AB sozza smiley smiley etc

the streets arent full of the dead and dying: that is how we know they work. Jesus

[fraser]

its cold ats best or flu ats worst get over it and start living life there more important things happening in this country than flu, the invasion with invaders.

[Sqad]

Geordie......you post of 21.19 is well written and says it all.

I am not a southsaya and cannot guarantee that your mother or father will suffer badly with Covid but I can say is that it is extremely unlikely.

You attitude to Covid in the above post of yours addresses the issue as well as it could.

Don't worry.

[Musictv2019]

I hope that your mother gets better soon my parents both tested positive for COVID yesterday they have both avoided it until now and are also vaccinated

My Mum's 91. She's had Covid twice.
Stop worrying.
