Bits of tree flying past the window. A few local roads are blocked by fallen trees.

I stayed home until 4 pm, whereupon it improved dramatically.

Covid’s just a cold mate, you can’t use that as an excuse anyway!

First time I had covid it was not much more than a sniffle but second time round for me it's a lot worse....

Luckily I'll be finished for 2pm again today and I can relax for the weekend

I've had 5 jabs too! ::)roll

The last 3 days have been good to me, dry weather  and managed to catch up on all my work. BTW I've never had a jab either.
I did get covid once and felt rough for about 3 days other than that I've been okay

I've had 5 Jabs because I'm considered high risk due to childhood asthma and 3 episodes of atrial fibrillation....

I'm hoping and praying 🙏 you get a nasty dose of covid now for those smiley faces!😄😄👍

I’ve had it 3 times now, only the second time round it was pretty nasty for 24 hours. Apart from that just a mild Flu.

I also have asthma and am considered ‘high risk’. Had the first jab then realised what  a load of bollx the whole thing was.

When’s your 6th vaccine Daz?  ;D

Did you have the jabs? There are countless people who got worse after these new mRNA jabs.

Hope you improve, sounds very tough.

I've had 5 vaccines(the last one was oct last year)and a flu jab about the same time.the last 2 vaccines have been at least a year apart.

This feels a lot more nasty than the first time I had covid.i ve had proper flu twice now and it feels more like that.

Whats your diet and lifestyle like?eg do you eat mostly ultra processed food?do you smoke cigarettes?drink alcohol?

Ive had covid 3 times that I've tested and probably had it more that I dont know about.

First time was probably the worst thing I've ever had I was a bit worried. Then subsequent bouts wernt as bad. I only had one jab as I was coaxed into it by the news. I dont like needles and had to lay down in the tent having a panic attack with everyone watching so never went back foe the second haha

I'm convinced though those jabs probably did more harm than good the body develops its own defences.

I don't believe the vaccines do more harm than good.if it wasnt for all the great medical/scientific minds over the last 120 years or so we d all still be getting TB and dying of small pox,etc

I'm feeling a bit better today,no more muscle aches or high temperature,even my throat feels a bit less sore but I'm taking it easy this weekend.

I'm hoping if I test negative on monday or tuesday I can get back in the gym.a week off is enough.

I hate not getting my 3 sessions in a week

The problem seems to be the chest infections,other people I know have still been coughing and spluttering long after they test negative again!🙄

Do not underestimate the power of a good diet,plenty of rest and quitting alcohol and cigarettes....

If the things above are on point then at least you know you've tried to live the best,healthiest life possible.

IF NOT make the changes mate.you won't regret it.

Hope you make a full recovery in time.

I go to gym still more for my mental health. After being so active its sole destroying I do a few jobs a week if I sit on the couch I'm sparko in no time at all.  And every thing seems such a drag. There seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.  There's a couple of people at the gym that have had long covid from the start.
