Long Covid issues are just the same in my book. Lung, fatigue and similar scare the crap out of me as I get to see people with them from having Covid over a year ago. Not paranoid but happy to put a mask on very very well while at work and while in close contact in doors even now. The use it or lose it is my every day :) Dog was a bit of a anchor at 10km run tonight. [thumbsupbig] Hope your back is manageable mate. If not Make it so!

Thanks Diver, GP..
Yes as mentioned it has been for about 50 years I think most backs ache a bit as we get on, mow the lawn with the VICTA
Blow leaves away with the Blower & all that sort of stuff. Fortunately sitting at the poot doesn't.[biggrin]

Mind you, using the blower one is also battling Centrifugal forces but as someone of note (?) once said "Life wasn't meant to be easy".
It was ok for him, he's been resting for umpteen years. Probably on his acreage.

Re Dog/anchor. It would help if you untied him/her from the kennel next time.:wallbash::Rolling:

Long Covid ..... my daughter had Covid two weeks ago. I bought a pulse oximeter to track her blood sats while she was in isolation and we discovered that her pulse was sitting at over 130: not good but apparently not uncommon. A week later, post end of isolation, it's still way over 100 but also jumping around. So, ECG and blood tests. Hopefully the pulse racing will go away and not be some long-term issue.

Hope she recovers quickly mate. The LONG effects can be a few weeks to years. Short is very very good. Wishing her well Sir.

Scott Morrison has become the latest casualty.

Yesterday in town I ran into my niece who came down with covid in early December. She has 'sort of' recovered, but still gets breathless with any exertion. She has returned to work a couple of weeks ago, but is on light duties (she is a manager). And now she has Ross River Fever, with the infection attributed to not only a mosquito but to the reduction in immune response which is an aftereffect of covid. She is expecting to give up work, probably for good within weeks.

it's a wonder he's not blind as well......and thats not from stropping the mullegan

Chaotic and somewhat unprecedented scenes playing out in Wellington as Police clear out the camp in front of parliament. Operation started at 6am this morning and still ongoing.

I haven't seen this many riot police active in NZ since the 1981 Springbok tour protests.

Thanks mate ..... ECG was all clear, blood tests picked up what was causing the symptoms, so it's good that we did the tests.

So ... my daughters' school has gone back to remote learning because so many of the senior school kids now have Covid: apparently it started with the rowers giving it to each other, they all went to a party and gave it to their classmates, some of those kids were in a musical with another school and gave it to each other there and then at the afterparty for the musical it got spread further - I gave a couple of the kids rides home from the party and one of them tested positive the next day, so I'm doing a RAT each morning.
