    John Gosnold gave a presentation to a group of professionals in Hull, and was commenting on the differences between us and the other places he'd been involved with. He said that he was surprised that people in Hull thought that not drinking when on anti-biotics, meant you stopped taking the tablets on a Friday night...he soon realised he needed to explain that a bit more, when he saw the confused looks around the room.

    My observations from the last couple of days of 'local' cycling*, there's a lot less motorised traffic when I traversed accross main roads, villages / towns looking more quiet than the country, more people /families (?) out walking, a few had parked up in places for walks but not too bad. People friendly and saying hello etc. As critical as I have been about the Govt we are doing very well with the vaccinations overall.

    The board is getting even more tetchy and argumentative in places than usual

    * I had a spare inner tube, patches and tyre leavers, mini multitool and pump, almost Patel proof...

    Brid seafront packed today, hardly a parking space. Not locals. At this time of year normally 5 or 6 cars parked along there. Don't know why they travel all this way as nowhere is open except for a few fish and chip shops. Must be desperate for clean air or something.

    I've probably (knock on wood) just about recovered from it now, been a couple of **** days :emoticon-0141-whew:

    Started on the 7th, sat in the office (distanced from others) and first I thought it was the excessive amount of phone calls that started drying out my throat.
    Got home later on. I felt cold and didn't really have any appetite (which doesn't happen), decided to head to bed early and get some extra hours or sleep.

    I woke up with the worst dry cough I've ever had, felt likt the lungs were about to exit my body whenever I coughed.
    Called in sick to work, ordererd covid test, etc. The 9/10th of Jan were probably the worst days.
    Basically lost my voice completely, slept 2-3 times during the day, because the cough would keep me up all night.
    Couldn't really eat anything, absolutely no appetite, no sense of smell or taste, mixed in with some high fever.
    Just stared at nothing for hours when awake.

    Felt randomly much better on the 11th, managed to get my test done
    Test confirmed positive.
    The body confirmed the positive test result by throwing in whatever bullshit sympton it could find.
    Suddenly there was now also......dodgy stomach, rash, muscle spasms in my left leg, runny nose + a bad headache.
    Not to forget the perhaps worst one that's still there, the fatigue. I can't do anything without basically getting max pulse.

    I've spent 3-4 nights the last week, making my way to the toilet at night (solid 5 second walk normally), now, exhaustedly trying to get a sniff of fresh air from the open window in there, trying to not collapse on the floor.

    I made my way downstairs once the last week, huge mistake. The stairs up.....everything was just spinning.

    Only sympton left now is the cough, suspect it might hang around for a while, just thankful it's hopefully over :emoticon-0111-blush

    Edit: And the fatique, bathroom walk still makes me tired as fock.

    Wouldn't it be a good idea to frighten everyone to ****?

    Just to make the people who aren't following guidelines a bit more wary of what might become of their loved ones or let's face it, themselves, because themselves is all they seem to care about.

    I think so.

    Glad you are recovering.

    I wonder if anyone else on this forum has had it?

    I think even that wouldn't work on most of the idiots.

    People really just do not care until it is too late.

    It's just a daft idea I know but maybe it would get more people on board than we have right now.

    Tell everyone that the virus is going ape **** now. Get the doubters to think more about it. Sow the seeds....

    Fingers crossed you’ve got through the worst of it, and if you’ve got anything long it’s not covid!
    Take care, but don’t rush, I know a few people who have have really struggled after it

    Sounds like you’re over the worst Febbos, but take it easy and don’t rush back.

    Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery from here on in.
