I think the 50 quid note analogy for flu vs cold remains the best

The thing about the flu is that it's actually worse than the 6 weeks of breathing through a Scottish Restaurant™ Thick Shake® that followed last time I had it.

Dead is a level of activity capability or two higher than floored by flu.

Seriously it's advantageous with flu that you're feeling so shit you can't eat because it means you don't have to go to the effort of getting out of bed to use the lavvy.

It looks very possible that one of our Xmas dinner guests brought us an extra present.  I went down with a scratchy sore throat on Thursday evening, quickly followed by all the symptoms of a heavy cold.  I thought nothing of it until I lost my sense of taste and smell on Monday night.  Tested this morning and very very positive for plague even though I feel much better today.  Mrs JL has been feeling “iffy, nothing more”.  She has also tested positive.  Up until today, she was one of the few people who had never had Covid, testing negative throughout all its previous visitations to our household.

I tested negative this morning so am free to go out.  Mrs JL is still positive.  I am properly in the doghouse.

Piglet tested +ve a couple of days ago, and has bin reet poorly. We bin ‘top’n tailing’ it since.  Me? Hmph , seem to have developed a cold

I have the plague
I probably caught it on the ferry on Thursday night given timings.

This time it's been coughing, snotting and brane fog.
there was a wee bit of breathlessness yesterday.

I only thought to test today, when I realized I don't normally get brain fogged by colds.

compared to last time it is behaving like a cold, shite in the morning, shite overnight, feel better by tea time, repeat.

slightly surprized that my year and a half out of date lfd showed it, New ones on order anyway as that finished my stock off.

So far my only experience of ye plague has been as an outsider. Literally. All my favourite indoors places –museums chief amongst them – are history. Still gotta go shopping (Chompsky requires a proper inspection of foodstuffs), and today I did spot another guy in Sainsbury's wearing a proper mask: Solidarity!

The Naproxen from my ankle injury is wearing off.
My Ankle has so far not balooned, this is good.
But the NSAID has been hiding how shit teh feechs have been on other counts.

Brane Fog city and still coughing.
Just about enough energy to do my physio exercises, just...

[FifeingEejit]

still a line against the T today.
but that's 5 days
yet still coughing occasionally
brane fog mostly gone thankfully.

naproxen definitley worn off though, I can feel the discomfort in my foot again.

Well I tested negative but have all the aches and pains, sore throat etc.  It's not flu as I could well get a £50 note lol
