Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I don't have a fever but I do have a dry cough, sneezing fits, runny and sensitive nose, my left eye is raw and almost closed like I’ve been in a scrap because it’s been watering up so much, I feel like shite!

I’m confident (currently) this is a flu symptom, but I’ve never known or experienced one coming on so quickly and so aggressively.

I would think this is flu, hopefully for you!

My symptoms were just a beast of a cough and a fever, none of the other stuff. Sure it's different for everyone tho.

I’m in bed since returning home just after lunch, was suddenly hit with flu like symptoms whilst out on deliveries in London.

I’ve had colds & man flu’s before and they tend to slowly take a grip of you with various symptoms displaying themselves first before the main illness takes hold, but this has just hit me hard in a single blow within an hour, so much so I didn’t think at one point I was going to make it home!

The weather was truly great today, it’s typical, the best day by a clear mile this year, if not for nigh on 6 months, and we all find ourselves in this awful situation with our love for golf, which is usually our escapism away from the daily madness, taken away, but staying safe, keeping healthy has to be our priority, let’s all get through this and come out the other side and get back out in those golf courses as quickly as possible ?

Top up and motor on - in all seriousness. If you can be serious with someone who drinks fizzy pop, take care.

I think maybe we could all stop hammering Tashy now? I have to be honest if we had invested money in a holiday and the airline didn't cancel it for us, I'd have had a hard time deciding what to do, and probably leaned on the side of going and avoiding the tug-of-war around getting a refund and so on.

Tashy maybe don't comment on people's movements anymore as you're going to get jumped on every time. :LOL:

3 weeks ago i had a ski trip to northern Italy but outside the exclusion zone. 3 out of 4 of us went as £700 was alot of money to lose. we had to return home after one day and got £610 back. the guy that chose not to come lost everything. looking back I think it was a irresponsible decision to go but it hadn't quite kicked off at that point. I'm not sure what I'd do if it was a 2k family holiday. I've always been one to follow the government advice

Get well pal

I have also developed a sniffy nose, sore eyes (bit like hayfever) and the tiniest bit of a tight chest but any cough is a wet one and not dry and repetitive so at the moment not unduly fussed. Having taken my temperature twice in work (36.7 and 36.3) there doesn't seem to be any sign of a fever. Hasn't come on suddenly like your but has been a bit of a slow burner all day and with a lot of colds doing the rounds not worrying. Got the dregs of some Night Nurse so can glug that and hopefully sleep ok and feel better tomorrow

just been out with the dog and the amount of people just wondering around is staggering, very few made any attempt to stay 2 mt away and two back packers tried to come up and stroke Rupert as i waited for them to cross the bridge so i didn't have to go too close to them.:rolleyes:

Same here. Went for a run/jog/plod/lumber breathlessly round the lane where I live this evening and normally I see a couple of people at best when I'm walking the dog/jogging. But today it was full of people wandering round aimlessly, it was like I was playing Frogger to avoid them. How ironic it will be if I get the bloody thing from going out and getting some fresh air.

I had this last week, just getting over it now. Knocked me out for a day and went through lots of valuable hankies but all OK. Missus was worried as I don't tend to come down with anything.

I've had the flu jab so reassured from that perspective that even if it's that it "should" be a mild form. I think it's a cold coming on, but trying not to tuck into the valuable paracetamol supply. I have lemsip and night nurse so got enough treatments to at least attack the bug initially.

Hey Robin, you've got to be okay ......................... I need to see how YOTF III pans out! (y)
 
My daughter and my ex wife who has advanced dementia and in a wheel chair have been stranded here for 10 days since coming from Tenerife. Staying a week in a couple of hotels that then closed their restaurants
They managed to get a friends holiday caravan in Dunbar while they sort things out with a care home for my ex.
Now the caravan site is closing and wanted them out by tonight, after some discussion their allowed to stay a little longer. Now looking for a ground floor apartment to short term rent as the can't afford hotel prices.
