Got COVID, tested positive this morning after 2 days of sore throat, blocked nose and slightly elevated temp. Ironically only one place I could have got it, yes Arsenal!

If this is what COVID is about, I will take that but not counting the chickens. Gonna speak to a quack tomorrow.
Get well soon Nut flush, we need you for the run in
Cheers fella.

I am going to the Brighton game, not planning on being COVID positive in 2 weeks!

Hope you get better soon mate, I've woken with a sore throat and blocked nose so about to take a test, was with a woman last week who did let me know she had covid yesterday.

Thanks mate, so far nothing more than man flu. I had exactly the same symptoms as you, scratchy sore throat and blocked nose, last 24 hours more coughing. Seems to get worse when I talk, some people would say its a good thing that I have to keep my gob shut!

I am sure you will be fine . I am pretty sure we have all had it and for 99% of people it isn't a issue at all.

If you have no underlying issues i guess there is no reason to speak to a doctor.

Unfortunately I do, hence the need for Anti Virals which are in the post today special delivery.

Fair play to the NHS, they did well for me today.

Hope everyone who has covid is ok.
Inevitable increase in cases a few weeks after Boris declared the pandemic over! (226,000 new cases in the U.K. yesterday for those that bother with the testing these days) .

12,000 admitted to hospital in the past week as well.

Get well soon mate. Personally I am feeling a bit rough, got body aches today and started the antivirals last night.

One good thing the antivirals has done is control the cough I had. Pretty much written off this week, as I work from home its no big shakes.

You are of course quite right Rob , it has not gone away and it's naive to think otherwise.
Daily mail stated recently that — Up to 60 PER CENT of people in England have still NEVER had Covid: and those that have may not have had the same strain .
All we can do now that the brakes are off is look after your own personal situation , and those that say blithely " I've had it and my jabs so I am safe " are fooling themselves .
Summer is coming so drinking outside makes more sense than going into crowded bars although the way that the price of drinks is spiralling , they may be hard to find.

Cheers mate, I cough a bit, my runny nose has stopped, hope this is all I get, I'm just keeping hydrated and getting in the sun, always makes you feel better.

Hope you are over the worst of it mate.

I think it is going to be a case of getting an annual jab - hopefully the warmer weather will see cases drop off
