In reply to thelevinelowdown. Basically it’s just a cold. Annoying but nothing more!

In reply to 2summers. Wow, very interesting! How has your experience been with it so far? I can definitely understand why you would have a different perspective to me haha!

In reply to thelevinelowdown. Hi there, thanks for the comment. I read your article…I do hear where you’re coming from, although ironically now that my boyfriend and I both seem to have omicron I actually want to read MORE about it! I want to know as much as possible about what the hell is going on inside my body, haha. But I can see why you feel the way you do too, especially in Australia.

Thank you very much for this very informative and interesting thoughts, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! I have also recently published an article on my blog about Omicron. However, mine was very much a criticism of the media coverage on the new variant which I have found really disappointing. I would be really interested to hear your thoughts on my article if you get the chance! Take care and best wishes over the upcoming holiday period 🙂

I came here during load shedding hoping to read something light and off the topic of Covid, ???? how wrong I was. Like you I have felt all of those things. Additionally in the last two weeks, I have met several white and very privileged males who refuse to vaccinate I just don’t get it. Hopefully the mandate will get ppl off their butts.

I was very glad to see the other light fun pics just following this!

Right now the rate is doubling, I’m so over it. More light reading please!

For me it’s the hypocrisy of it all. I am in the UK currently and there are 50 000 cases a day being reported whilst the Prime Minister is telling us not to worry about cancelling Christmas with your families but yet they are continuing with this ridiculous travel ban. They are introducing day 2 PCR tests for any traveller regardless of vaccination status so why does SA still need to be on the UK red list? I have been trying to come home to SA for 2 years now, to see my mum who was diagnosed for the second time with incurable breast cancer in June and I had booked to fly home on the 23rd of December to have my first Christmas at home in 6 years. I couldn’t go home to see my Gran before she passed this year either. Now all of that willl most likely be cancelled as even if I did pay the extortionate red list hotel quarantine fee there isn’t any spaces at the hotels at the moment and it’s a complete shambles in terms of how it’s been organised and run.

Well said Heather – what a mess. Too little of the right action locally in regards information and vaccines, definitely not enough push – way too much apathy. And shame on the countries who in a knee jerk reaction have added more chaos to an already difficult situation. Let’s hope for a quick “recovery” and that we can move on soon.
