What would you do for a booster?

[gerefan2]

A friend of mine got minor symptoms and so did 2 lateral flow tests. Both positive.
He then went for the PCR test and that was positive too.

The symptoms soon went but he had to stay at home for the mandatory 10 days isolation. As his aged mother was in the house he isolated alone in his bedroom.

After a week he began to think he would follow government advice which is to clean all the hard surfaces to kill the bug. Basically it’s an alcohol mix.

So he got hold of a bottle of something good, swirled it around his mouth, gargled with it, and eventually finished the whole bottle. He went to bed pissed as a rat, but with a very clean throat.

Next day he did the flow tests (down the throat type of test) and passed!

As he had to pass two tests in a row, he repeated the procedure the next day too.

Another pass, but with a hangover!

He is all clear now.

Whats your point, that government should be issuing bottles of whiskey or vodka ?? f so I have to say I'm all for that, Not sure it'll help but it's the way I've decided to pass my time once "positive" ;-)

Why not? They recommend disinfectants (which contain alcohol) and hand sanitizers with a MINIMUM of 60% alcohol.

So if alcohol gets rid of germs on work surfaces and your hands then surely it will work on your throat too?!

As I recall the “protect yourself from COVID by washing your hands and avoid touching surfaces” was advice based on an incorrect assumption that this coronavirus was similar to the Spanish flu. It isn’t so all of that advice is irrelevant

However I do have a friend who swears by snorting Listerine. No, I don’t know how he does it either and I’ve no wish to find out

Having been "on it" all day Im all for that and am wondering ! is there a government grant I can get to help for research purposes perhaps ! :-)

PS for the avoidance of doubt I've had to type this message slowly and with one eye closed :-)

Happy Christmas to one and all !

I'm with you. If alcohol keeps me immune from Covid, then I'm pretty sure I'm good to go, haha.

Don't be stupid, Listerine doesn't cure a lung infection.

Trust me I put that theory to the test and then some last night and actually I do feel a bit better today ( albeit as hung over as hell of course ! :-)

As an aside my partners PCR result arrived by email half an hour ago and perhaps unsurprisingly it seems for once I DID give him something original and something he's never had before for Christmas this year as he too has now tested positive, thankfully him with no symptoms so far anyway it seems.

Knowing him as I do though I will now be soon expecting a full range of drama queen "Im terrribly sick you know" acts to follow shortly lol - ha he knows he's playing it to the wrong gallery there though as my sympathy levels with him re the likes of that are usually close to around zero at the best of times as I've heard it all so many times before of course ! :-)
