forkboy84 posted:Away from current affairs, what's the rule on going to the doctors for non-vaccine related purposes? Coz for years now I've had a worthless sense of smell & problems breathing through my nose & sinus related headaches but it's mostly liveable with. But I've had a headache in the general area below/behind my right eye for a week now, Sudafed has done nothing to clear it up, & I'm suspicious I have a deviated septum related to dumb teenage poo poo (footballs in the face, a party trick of how far I could squash my nose against my cheek, very dumb) or whatever else is causing the sinus problems. Should I just endure until things get back to normal or is it entirely acceptable to go to the doctors for something which isn't urgent but is irritating? You should probably see a doctor I’ve been having to get onto blood pressure medications because it was real bad back in September and at the time it was a pain in the arse to get anything arranged to talk to anyone but it seems to be getting much better now. Not sure if it’s just my surgery but it’s pretty much all been phone consultations though, although I can still go in for BP readings and to have blood taken and there’s never been any issue getting seen

namesake posted:Well because the vaccinations aren't 100% effective, so while you reduce deaths by 90% from previous waves (at best) that 10%+ still gets really large if you just let everyone take their nans out to dinner inside a restaurant. They’re not 100% effective at preventing infection but IIRC they are close to it for preventing death or serious illness.

Tried to do that thing people recommended of cancelling my second vaccination to get the date moved forward. Cancelled my appointment on July 31st and got offered... July 30th. Took July 31st again anyway at the same time as before because it’s a weekend.

As I understand it, due to vaccinations the majority of spread at the moment is in schools and workplaces amongst younger, unvaccinated people, and even going back one or two stages back into lockdowns is not going to do much to change that.

Pistol_Pete posted:I've grown a bit cautious about the whole 'long Covid' thing because there's no diagnosis, no agreed set of symptoms and it's what people always fall back on when it's pointed out that deaths and hospitalisations remain really low: "Ah yes, but what about the potential effects of Long Covid etc etc etc". It's really hard to quantify compared to other consequences (you're either dead or you're not; you're either in hospital or you're not) so I'm still uncertain whether it's a substantial issue or some vague boogeyman. Yeah same, I’ve no doubt that serious symptomatic cases can cause scarring of lung and heart but the symptoms of long COVID in less serious and asymptomatic cases tend to run a very wide spread that could be any number of other conditions. There’s a fair amount of overlap of the symptoms with those of stress/anxiety/depression which are absolutely to be expected given what we’ve all lived through for the past 18 months.

Angrymog posted:Does that page come up after you select 'cancel and rebook?' Yeah, you get a couple of opportunities to bail before actually cancelling your appointment. What is also annoying is that it won’t let you rebook your second appointment less than 8 weeks after your first, but will still show availability dates for the next week. I don’t care if they have space on 18th June when I can’t book mine for before July 10th anyway.
