Has anyone had Covid?

Hope you have recovered and not been left with lasting effects.

How are you now PinkCakes?

Get better soon, Take care

I hope you soon feel better.

JenniferEccles Not at all. I don't care who has had the vaccinations and who hasn't

Also the fact that you may have caught it from a vaccinated person is completely irrelevant, it's like saying I caught it from a person with blond hair and thinking it was their hair colour that caused them to pass it on to you.

I first showed symptoms of Covid on the very last day of term before Christmas. I work in a secondary school - but am office based. I was quite ill over Christmas and New Year and, as my Grandma used to say, ' I've not been right since'. Cough lasted for weeks - treated with steroids. Antibiotics in case it was a chest infection (couldn't see GP face to face)
Permanently exhausted - have had to reduce hours at work. By March I was still breathless and starting to get pain on exertion. Actually saw GP face to face who did ecg, blood tests, etc. Given GTN spray for suspected angina. Referred to Chest Pain Clinic; had CT scan of heart; diagnosed with severe narrowing of artery to heart. Signed off until end of term. Angiogram/angioplasty booked for next week. Was it caused by Covid? Cannot know for sure - but would recommend all who can to be vaccinated!

As you say you haven’t been vaccinated PinkCakes and then make a point of saying you were told (how could anyone possibly know?) that you probably caught it from a vaccinated person, is this thread just another opportunity to push your anti-vaccine views?

PinkCakes It is possible you were infected by your husband. If he did pick up an infection, he didn't necessarily have symptoms himself, but he could have remained capable of passing on infection for 10 days.

If he then unknowingly passed the infection to you, you wouldn't have had symptoms for a couple of days, so the timing is right.

I guess nobody will know for sure, but this is why people are being urged to be vaccinated.

Take care PinkCakes

Thanks for the good wishes. I have my own reasons for not having had the vaccine - I might well have it after this. My husband works but has been off since the Friday before last, on holiday (No holiday for him). He hasn't been vaccinated, but he hasn't caught it

PinkCakes it's amazing others have asked why your didn't get vaccinated. One even said moral of the story get vaccinated. And yet you single me out.

Hope you are feeling better. But if you are going to comment be fair.

You can catch and spread COVID if you have been vaccinated but the symptoms are much milder if any at all if you are infected. The Delta variant is very spreadable and it’s affecting a lot of people at the moment.

You say at the beginning that you have only seen your brothers family, but later on you say you live with your husband who goes to work and probably meets other people there. You have been mixing with quite a lot of people really and so it was quite likely for you to catch it eventually. Unfortunately you can’t rely on other people’s vaccinations to protect you if you haven’t had one Vaccination only protects the person who has been vaccinated.

Some people who have had covid don't develop antibodies.
It's all a bit of a mystery who or where it comes from, but the main thing is that you get well soon, PinkCakes, and look after yourself now.
Please "keep an eye on yourself".

Clearly lots of misinformation and misconceptions going on. 1. test and trace will have no idea who you caught it from unless there is an obvious link. 2. You can still get covid if vaccinated. 3. You can still pass it on if vaccinated. 4. Being vaccinated can (not always) make you less ill.
Hope you feel better soon PinkCakes and your DB and SiL don't catch it and cope ok. Look after yourself x

I hope you feel better soon PinkCakes and that you make a full and speedy recovery.
I how several people who have had it mildly and one severely though not hospitalised luckily .

My youngest son son knows many youngsters ( twenties) who have had it and he has had to isolate as he was pinged a while ago.

Will have have the vaccination when you have recovered? Do you regret not having it now ?

My sister has been double vaccinated but picked up Covid from her 23 Yr old son who reckons he got it on a Train? Who knows?
She said it was just like a bad cold interestingly she didn't pass it onto her husband who had been in Hospital for other reasons, he was discharged the day she found out she was positive. (Hospital aware).
She is in her early 60's,.
Good luck, hope you will be okay.

I honestly think there’s still a lot of covid ignorance around but that people in Scotland are probably better informed because Nicola Sturgeon explains things in a very lucid way. Even Harry Rednapp, who I’d warmed to over the past couple of years said on breakfast tv today that he couldn’t wait to ditch the masks. Well done Harry

I thought most people understood that being vaccinated doesn't stop us from potentially passing covid19 on to others? It is however, mean to reduce symptom severity if vaccinated people catch it, thus reducing hospitalisations. I am sorry you are poorly Pinkstuff but why on earth did you not have double vaccinations when you are carer for your family?

The test and trace person was probably just trying to explain that vaccinated people can still catch covid and pass it on to others. I think the country needs to be better educated in all things covid. I don’t think symptoms have been updated for a while even though they’ve changed since the pandemic began.

Whiff "but please don't blame us who willingly get vaccinated"

I didn't say YOU said YOU caught it from a vaccinated person but you said the track and trace person who phoned you said you probably did.

Read the first paragraph.

It seems very probable that in view of your limited contacts you did catch COVID from a vaccinated person, but people can have COVID and be asymptomatic, and again, it seems likely the vaccination has prevented the carrier from becoming ill themselves.

I hope you feel better soon and that, if you are able to have it, you get the vaccination yourself.

Whiff What a condescending rant. It wasn't me who said I'd cot it from a vaccinated person.

Get well soon.

Moral of the story?

GET VACCINATED
