So I've just tested myself and I can confirm it's Covid !

But of the 3 times I've had it this is definitely the worst ...so when people say it's mutating to become weaker like the common cold I find it hard to believe !

 

This whole summer Covid wave and its seriousness seems to be being suppressed because of the elections 😞

Has anyone had it ? I've just got it now and it must be one if the most Gawd dam  awful ones I've had in years ...

Aches, fever, runny nose, dizziness, weakness ,loss of appetite , can't sleep ...

 

Sound like it's more than just a cold, but the runny nose would seem to rule out Covid .. does flu circulate in the summer?

.. not sure I had my flu jab last autumn 😕

 

Had same pal thought my time had come ..anti bionics and steriods

This is absolutely true, and I can't for the life of me explain it.

I've had the usual three or four colds a year, and the occasional bout of 'real' 'flu' for most of my teenage and adult years of life. -  until July 2017.

I  haven't had 'flu or a cold since then, honestly.  :huh: 

(and it's not due good diet or  particularly healthy living!)

I'm completely puzzled by this, but eternally grateful!

I have just recovered from it as I tested positive for covid. I have lost over a stone in weight but luckily didn’t have to go hospital but I’m telling you it wipes you out big time.
