So, at work I get a call - telling me that one of my colleagues has tested positive. I have to pick-up the work of another colleague who was due down here this afternoon. Fine.
Now, the positive colleague's line manager is sitting right beside me and didn't know a thing about it!
Teams calls are a great thing..!

Friend of mine down the road is still suffering from Covid since August 24th 
She is an athlete and does several marathons / iron man races. Double vaccinated too.
Poor lass has problems with her kidneys and is still short of breath. She is signed off work till October for now.

Is there any evidence that vaccination weakens natural immunity if you've already had the lurgy? Consiparloon relative is trumpetting this and I can usual find the source and why it's bollocks to her shite in 5 mins but I can't find either for this

There is plenty of evidence that natural immunity plus vaccination results in the best defence you can have.

Some studies found "superhuman immunity" in people who were infected with COVID and later received an mRNA vaccine - not sure why link below is appearing as a media file but if you click on the headline you will get the text.
Story below links to a few more studies:
Antibody levels are really variable after recovering from infections, and those at the lower end of the spectrum might be more susceptible to reinfections,” said Deepta Bhattacharya, a professor of immunology at the University of Arizona. “But after a single vaccine in people who have recovered from Covid-19, antibodies skyrocket up, including those that neutralize variants of concern.”
Why people who already had Covid should still get vaccinated
People previously infected with the coronavirus may get a significant boost in immunity if they follow up with vaccination.

This week I've come down with a cold for the first time since Feb 2019. Probably no coincidence that it comes after a weekend where i did a few 'risky' things that I've been avoiding until now.
Have to confess on a self interested level i was quite disappointed to get a negative on a lateral flow test as it would be quite good to know I've had it and had it without severe symptoms.

Super cold: Is 'the worst cold ever' going around?
As more of us mix and the weather gets colder, the common cold is back - and it's flooring people.

I've had one for a week. My children brought it back from school.
As I'm WFH, I'm still working. If I was office based, I'd have needed a few days off.
For the last few days, I've woken up thinking its gone but the symptoms return and I'm on my third hanky by 10am
Today seems OK so far. Fingers crossed
Why was I not told about this????

My uncle showed up as positive on an LFT with no symptoms, confirmed by a PCR. Although he was taking it because my aunt was showing symptoms (loss of taste and smell mainly with some mild cold type symptoms) not just to check.
