I'm pretty sure I had swineflu back in 2009. That was the most awful flu-like thing I've ever experienced. I turned up to work looking like a mess and my cough had people moving to desks further away. My boss turned up half an hour later and demanded I went home. Got home, and the rest of the week was just a blur. He phoned me up on the Friday (I turned up to work on the Monday) and he said "Jesus, you sound terrible". I wasn't back in work until the following Wednesday and even then he took me aside and said "you probably shouldn't be here". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this beats off Omicron with a stick should I encounter it. Oh wow. 24hrs on and it's really walloped me. Feel like shit. Mrs Sidcow is in the office today so it's my turn to cook tea. Spent the last 45 minutes praying she walks through the door to finish it off but no. If I eat it won't be much, going to need an early night as well I think.

Exactly what happened to me (and the missus who had the jab at the same time). Good news: you'll be OK tomorrow. Paracetamol, fluids, early night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy there’s no restrictions so if you have it and you don’t feel like complete shit. You’re most likely going to travel when you’ve paid for it. Its part of life now.

StefanAVFC Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I feel the same as I did when I had it the 2nd time, but negative test. Meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2022 All the metrics are actually falling currently. Number of cases, numbers in hospital and on ventilators, number of deaths all on the downward curve. Strange as were certainly in a period where more people are mixing indoors than a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a sore throat for days before it hit me properly one evening. I just hope nobody got it too badly as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
