Quoted from stevie
I will read a few this week. Have been laid up with a bad flu bug since Friday arve lol and only just got out of bed to have a shave and shower. Absolutely smashed me


It's probably something you picked up on 1 of your night's out, Mate.  Remember, unde17 equals problems...especially when you do that dirty thing you like so much.

Quoted from Cameron


Jebus, I know you lucky souls down under (how I miss the place) are fairly corona free but maybe get tested. I had essentially what you’re saying now in Feb in London, as did my flat mate. He lost his sense of smell, I ended up with a lung infection and was out of action for over a month (likely was the virus).

Don’t mess around, get the Medicare card out and go pester a gp!!


Sorry to hear.  Hope you mend quickly

Alright Dave and Kham, long time not speak!

Thanks guys, I’m fine now but at the time we didn’t have any testing and didn’t think it was in the UK/knew the symptoms fully like the smell thing, so essentially just thought I’d ride it out...not a clever idea so if anyone feels flu like and drained for multiple days get checked.

The highlight was attempting a competitive game of soccer-ball after the flu bit had died down. Was about as effective as a comatosed hamster and was literally seeing stars just stumbling around after confused opposition players, defo not to be messed with!!!

Hey cheers for the concern guys. I‘m ok. Didn’t have any real cv symptoms. I hardly ever get sick but when I do it’s spectacularly ill lol.  I don’t get much sleep with my night work and I‘ve been doing a lot of walking on top of my normal weight programs. Guess my old body was just telling me to slow down MF lol

Haha, well so long as you’re confident it’s nothing Stevie. My fave Aussie saying was “she’ll be right”, sounds like you’ve actively applied the rule with great success, stay safe bud!

Yeah, Aussies are tough, right, Stevie?  Just don't go to work until you're fighting fit.
That said, it's icy here and I've got the sniffles, but that'll be as far as it goes. Oh, how I long for a heatwave.  

Nice to see you back on SS, Cam. It's been a while.

Glad to both are feeling better.

I would be curious to get an an it body test as I had a vicious  flu like bug in mid February after travelling Through various uk airports etc Odd are that it wasn’t Covid, but still interesting to know.

Script wise I had an idea provisionally named covid-30 where a new bug emerges and a select few who experienced Covid-19 without medicine etc had a special blood that the wealthy reaped to have injected into themselves for Lots of cash - couldn’t bring it together in a short, but I liked the idea.

Haha, sweet as Stevie! And hey Liby! Yeah I got side tracked with life and production stuff/trying to flog my disasterpieces to unsuspecting fools...turns out they were suspecting, the fools.

Stuck my head in though on Friday, saw the challenge with about 12 hours to spare and just stuck something in (that's clearly middle of the road and deserving of all the abuse it will get), but it's super fun to be back and genuine thanks for setting up this awesome wee challenge!!! Missed you guys.

Hey Bill! Yeah, a lot of folk seemed to have had a flu around then so there's always a chance, especially if you've been hanging out in airports. At least the worst thing about them is no longer a £5 Starbucks and grumpy check in staff, bloody covid...

My daughter and her husband went through a similar experience in March.

Every classic Covid symptom for a period of ten days.

Two trips to to the ER for both of them. Sent home without being tested both times. Insanely, at the time they were sick, the requirement for tests included that you had to have travelled to a foreign country even though at the time the US was in the top 4 countries with case counts.

Now, they wanted to get an anti-body test so they could donate plasma. Can't get one because you have to have been tested positive for Covid even though we effing know must the COVID cases in March were never tested.

Makes you want to choke someone.

Yep, similar thing happened to us. My colleague went home sick on a Thursday - Feb 27 I believe - and had vomiting, diarrhea and chills. Like clockwork, I woke up on Saturday and had no other symptioms, but I had to vomit. Then came the fever. And again like clockwork, my wife got it on that Monday and had to be hospitalized for a few hours to get fluids and IV motrin.  I called the hospital Sat. morning and they said the same thing to me, Dave, that if I hadn't traveled to China  and I had not been around anyone known to have COVID, or I was not short of breath, I couldn't get tested. This was March 1. By March 13 we were under a stay-at-home order.

Ran a low grade fever a couple of weeks ago and got tested and I was negative. I'm thinking that after a full day of wearing a mask and breathing in our own CO2, our bodies run a little hot, in the 99s and low 100s sometimes.

Frightening time.

Did you get an anti-body test or just a regular test?

And - YES - one thing I have learned from this is not all of my body's aches, pains and cold like say symptoms are germ related.  Can't tell you how many times over the last few months in l lockdown where I had a runny nose or a slight fever and had the - oh- oh moment - only to have those things evaporate within a day or two - tells me that I vastly underestimated other factors that made me feel shitty - pollens, dust, etc. etc.

I got a regular test - a 4 minute drive to the hospital, a tent set up outside, and literally 30 seconds to test you. You roll down the window of your car, lean your head back and get swabbed.

I think my doctor phoned in the script for the antibody test but I'm not sure I want to do it. I hear they are inaccurate up to 50% of the time.

I've been a little overboard with the masks and sanitizing because one, I'm an essential worker, responsible for managing office buildings, making sure the tenants and all my employees are safe. And two, I have a rare genetic lung condition, similar to but not as serious as cystic fibrosis, so if this thing gets into my lungs, I will probably not do well.
