I suspect most of those dismissing Covid as "just a cold" have also routinely referred to a bad cold as "flu". I also suspect very few of those people have ever actually HAD flu, or they'd know the difference!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I agree with all of the above but am too knackered to put a proper post on. Hope I feel a bit more lively tomorrow. Just slowly sipped a dessertspoonful of blackberry vinegar & I don't think I've been hacking quite so violently since then.

and that's when you know you are truly ill, when you can't even be bothered to do stuff online or look at a screen.

Get well soon. I am hoping I can avoid covid again . I dont seem to be on the list for a jab any more despite breathing problems but I will speak to the nurse when I have my flu jab on Saturday.2

I booked mine though the NHS as I had an email from them. The GP had only offered a flu jab so we booked at our local pharmacy where we've had them for the last few years. They just asked why I was eligible for the Covid one and I said COPD and she was happy to give it to me.
Have you had an email from NHS? If you have it's worth booking that way.

Mine comes via a text, but it is a month before my booking!1
