Hi dragonfly I'm sorry you've had Covid 3 times! Bummer.

I recently had a "bad cold" that started with an intense sore throat on the first day only.

I rested and stayed indoors and took Vut C and Zinc etc and only when it was improving did I think "Hm, I wonder whether that was Covid?" (I've never had it). My point is, must we now test for every "cold"? Genuine question.

You cant police other people.

Our family tests if they have some symptoms, and were going to meet up.
None of us want to spread it to others.

I spend a bit of time with more elderly people.
No way do I want them to catch it. So again, would test.

I have just had Covid again for the third time. I know it was Covid because as soon as I started to have symptoms I tested. The first test was negative but the second a day later was positive. I then stayed at home until I was clear.

I keep hearing about friends and acquaintances saying they have had really bad colds etc but never a thought of isolating or testing.

I had to miss a few events I was really looking forward to. How can I avoid getting it again if everyone just goes out and about without testing?

Sorry to sound such a grouch but it would seem Covid isn’t going away despite having all the injections.
