1 in 5 who have had Covid-19 suffer from Long Covid according to latest survey. So surely this is another reason vaccination is so important. Unless long-term side effects figures are greater of course.
can some lasting symptoms to be proven, as im wondering if some are players who do not want to go back to work, and any long term unemployed who caught it, obviously do not want to work at all.
im not saying some are not honest, i bet some are working the system.
I think I've had it/got it. My test is in the post. It'll probably come back negative now as most of the symptoms have cleared up. It's been 6 weeks now.
I had covid last August, since then I have suffered constant tinnitus, a cold runny nose and insomnia. Luck of the draw! I used to have mild low tinnitus in one ear but now both ears high pitched much louder, never had these problems before covid.
I saw the health broadcast with Rebecca someone and thought I had sent her this link and demanded she read it
perhaps someone else did

I would like to support pixie, 14.09. P.V.S. is not specific to Covid. I had it in the late 1990s - started with a virus on Nov. 5th, went back to school a week later, caught another one etc.... I was off work until nearly Easter and it was horrible. To get to the kitchen to make a coffee took about 45 mins. -- going upstairs to the loo was a hands and knees job. It is definitely not just due to Covid.
//Roughly one in six people in the UK have had Covid-19//
Assuming thats right Buenchico (sounds about right to me) its quite a lot isnt it for a virus thats been around for little more than year, and that doesnt presumably include the 120000 plus who died within 28 days of a posative covid test, and its despite all the lockdowns and social distancing and masks.
