Got COVID, no symptoms. Chucked in quarantine for 2 weeks. Like johnnie blue, very over-rated.

Keep to my self and carry on. 7 of my colleagues seem to have it
One was hectic bad and others ok.

I still keep to myself and try nit to spread but not gonna give up my lifestyle. I am by nature a social and outgoing person so being quite and alone is hectic for me anyway.

I've had the flu for a few days so I've been isolating anyway.
Finally went for a Covid test on Friday, came back negative but I think I'll just continue isolating for a bit and work out all the bugs before seeing anyone.
I'm really Covid fatigued though. It's so exhausting.

Still have to live. Have all the covid safety protocols in place that I can have. This is just the new normal that people are going to have to wrap their heads around. You can't predict getting the flu or being run down by a car while crossing the road or being hijacked yet no one allows fear of those things to stop them from living. People fear of contracting covid is making certain type of people overly paranoid. If I was going to get it I'm sure I would have had it by now and I have asthma so I'm sure covid would be dangerous for me. What should I do? Stop living because of fear? Stop trying to earn because of fear?

The guys who are not punting because of their fear must realise that they will obviously never punt again because News Flash Covid is here to Stay. It's Not going away. There will be wave after wave after wave. Reality check.

Spot on !
Succumb or do something about it.
Like you, i prefer do something about it and not be a victim. Amazing that when you advise people to strengthen their immunity and their minds, they get their backs up.

@Johnny English ... Exactly. People need to look at their lifestyles and start eating more fruit instead of macdonalds - people in townships are not succumbing to covid as badly as the more affluent because fruit is cheaper than macdonalds actually and their immune systems are stronger for it - an interesting fact; get the vaccine if you believe it will protect you and follow the safety protocols. Strengthening your immunity is totally 100% your responsibility not the government or bill Gates. Some people are not willing to be responsible for their own health but have a lot of negative things to say about what others should or should not be doing. FEAR of anything will cripple your life.

Not sure where you have been hiding the last few months, but just to give you an update.

Covid does not check your dietary plan or bank balance prior to infecting you. India is,a prime example thereoff.

Nobody said you should live your life in fear, but nothing wrong in livibg a responsible life style, including taking the nessecary precausions to limited your changes of getting infected by covid.

Kooni I have been taking All the reasonable precautions; including self isolating in the beginning and made All the necessary changes to my lifestyle; including avoiding any large gatherings and not going out unnecessarily in order to try to protect myself from contracting covid. I am at risk of dying from it as I have asthma and I'm not as strong immune wise as I may have been when I was 20. That's my reality as I'm very aware covid is a very real threat. If I am going to get it despite following all the reasonable precautions, then I'm going to get it. I can only do what I can and NO I am very well aware of what is going on. Comparing South Africa to India is also ridiculous and a form of fear mongering, as we have totally different ways of living poor and rich alike; especially the poor. As well as different variants floating around. And our health care systems are different and the government response in India was and is different to ours. One can't compare India to SA in this regard actually. I am a 100% Realist. If you knew me you would know that; but you dont. I am not being an ostrich with my head in the sand and I'm certainly not a Karen or a millennial looking for any excuse to be offended. I feel like you may be implying that I'm being irresponsible in some way. Maybe you should read a post carefully and then read it again before jumping to keyboard warrior mode.

All I know is this wave has hit a lot closer to home with family, work colleagues and friends getting infected and many finding themselves in ICU ... it certainly is no joke ...
