Well did so well for so long but COVID has now struck and awaiting approval of COVID medicine unit to sort out treatment.
I do wish people would stop calling it covid ...........like they have contracted something completely different and unique .....its a cold man , maybe somewhere between a cold and flue ..............there no need for a test to confirm you have flue or a cold we know when we are under the weather .........lets please get back to normal and put those horrible 2 years as far behind us as possible ..........so that younger generations dont make the same stupid exaggerations and get sucked in by selective science orchestrated by big pharma

I thought we were in the 'don't test, don't tell' era now?
I imagine those with underlying health conditions or those who live / have regular contact with people with underlying health conditions still do.

I have a colleague who is undergoing chemo at the moment and righty in my opinion) or wrongly ( Loz) we always test before meetings with him.

If it's a Corona virus derivative from SARS then it's COVID. I also have a chimney with a flue...

The main thing is that Des with his underlying health issues gets well soon with the minimum of discomfort or disruption.

No cold like I have ever had before. So it should be called the mother of all fooking virus or colds to date...... (for me anyway)
I’m glad that my emergency nursing skills were of use when you went down with it! I must add that at the time I had already self-medicated with 3 large brandies.
