Coronavirus

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh. I've had a couple of missed calls today. I don't answer numbers I don't recognise though.

June 21st is getting knocked back by a fortnight as per The Times, which we all know is a Government leak

Nothing to see here apart from a woman who hasn't had the vaccine saying the jab makes you magnetic and tries to prove it. Worth watching just for the facial expressions of the woman behind her

Lad at work in his 30s had his first Pfizer jab earlier and ended up in the back of an ambulance with an allergic reaction. Full on throat swelling anaphylaxis stuff.

I assumed they'd given him an Epinephrine injection but he said he was given a tablet that acted in seconds. Never even heard of that. Some kind of strong anti-histamine?

 

[Carrotdude]

Bloody hell, that’ll be why they make you hang around for 15 minutes then!

Hmmm probably not as bad as he’s saying then. Threat to airway then it’s adrenaline. If he’s just an allergic reaction then chlorphenamine will do the trick. Not sure on “acted in seconds mind”. Tablets don’t work that way, need to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Possible some lozenge that dissolves supplying the ingredient topically.

Bit of a difference between my throat is tight vs I can’t breathe though

 

[The Bear]

Yeah maybe. He said it was scary and the tablet the paramedic gave him worked really fast.

Of course if his throat was that bad, he wouldn't be able to swallow a tablet.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't be able to take a tablet when I get an anaphylactic reaction. You have to stab me in the thigh with adrenaline.

 

[The Bear]

He said "lip, tongue and throat swelling, as well as shaky hands and chest pain".

Likely just a mild allergic reaction. Scary enough if you experience it though no doubt.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh, no doubt.

When I get it I know within literally a couple of seconds. Inside a couple of minutes I'm in real trouble. Within 10 minutes I doubt I'd be conscious.

I've had to show Rachel what to do if the worst happens. No doubt she wants to stab me in the thigh half the time anyway so everyone wins.

 

[The Bear]

I didn't realise you were allergic to anything.

Other than shit Wolves managers/players.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wasps (the cunts) and peanuts.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah I hate wasps. Stripy yellow bastards.

Had a nest of them in my eaves a couple of years ago.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Yeah maybe. He said it was scary and the tablet the paramedic gave him worked really fast.

Of course if his throat was that bad, he wouldn't be able to swallow a tablet.

Could be a steroid tablet they'd give to somebody having an asthma attack to assist breathing and reducing inflammation.

Just talking with my sister who does track and trace for Staffordshire council - last week 4 cases, this week 70 (and that was as of Thursday). Mostly young, but some actually quite seriously ill.

They’ve fucking fucked it again. Utter cunts.

After obvious health impacts, the main benefit of our early vaccine success was going to be our early relaxation of rules & restrictions. That has been completely squandered because Johnson prioritised a face-saving trade deal with India over the welfare of the people he governs.

[Kenny]

You seem shocked they have. Don't forget though, they are doing their best and that's enough.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

You spelled Boris is a cunt wrong.

70 cases in Staffordshire, mostly young so assuming unvacinated I presume ?

Only 4 of those fully vaccinated, but plenty with just one dose apparently.
