rona moved in: ilx0rs with the bug report on their progress

Fever down, now just sinus pain. Think it might not be rona? Who even knows

I tested positive for flu A and B. Awaiting covid test results.

In quarantine for now. Second guessing some decisions, mostly sending youngest to in person pre-school.

Get well soon WmC and imago

ban isolate 1ou1s j4gg3r

good luck dude

OK yeah this really was just food poisoning, sorry to alarm!

Vmic, but glad you’re not dead

good luck usa lj

.. and update the London Restaurants thread.

by my own hand alas. the list of suspects is long though. a very ingredient-happy stir-fry

Extremely in character, this plus the long soup is confirmation enough never to eat anything you’ve cooked

it was tasty tbf

uh oh was it fried rice syndrome?

it was either the fish, the pak choi, the tomatoes or the jackfruit, and whatever it was, it got me up to nearly 40 celsius

anyway i've been very indulgent and will yield the floor to people who actually have the rona

Happy to hear it (well, not that you have food poisoning, but y’know).

can only be the jackfruit imo. it's good to have you back from the pre-rona lj

good luck & get well soon, LJ and Sufjan & family!

glad you don't have the 'rona, LJ; hope you don't have the 'rona, Sufjan (and youngest, and others)

gws sufjan!

@imago I hope you get better... at cooking haha owned

LJ, alert us at once if you lose your sense of smell!

I, my wife and both kids all have sore throats and feel a bit weak today, hm...

Allergies?

none of us have any allergies, no

Oh, sorry...

The simultaneity of the symptoms appearing suggests to me something environmental or else very contagious. Good luck.

:(

Keep us posted, CAL.

Kids always pick up shit the first weeks back at school... hope it’s that and not that

I mean.. it's day three or four and we all still basically feel ok, like if I was at work I would probably go in, so if we have it it's probably a mild case. Will try to get tested tomorrow.

Got an appointment for our 6-y-o son to get tested tomorrow morning. Thanks to whoever tipped Stet off about the next day's testing appointments going live around 8pm :D We're pretty sure it's not Covid but without a negative test he can't go back to school and I would like some peace it is so important for him to continue his education.

If the testing system is going to fall over with every outbreak of minor sniffles in schools then we're really in trouble. There's definitely something going round but it's probably not covid on the basis that so many children seem to have it.

Yeah, a few of his mates have had the sniffles but of course he’s the only one with a cough.

Didn’t your household have it earlier in the year? Surely he would have had a dose then.

I think nearly all the families I know with kids who've gone back to school have at least one person with bog standard cold symptoms (me included as of tonight - yay) so I'm not too worried.
It happened when they went back during lockdown too. I seem to catch every cold going and then some whereas the rest of my household is pretty immune.
Obv if there's high temps as well you'd better get tested.

Didn’t your household have it earlier in the year? Surely he would have had a dose then.

We’re pretty sure we did, though tests weren’t available at the time unless you were admitted to hospital. And while Stet had it badly and I had it mildly, F had chickenpox! Maybe he had Covid at the same time, I dunno. Whatever, it’s kind of irrelevant because if he went to school with a cough he’d be sent home for a test anyway. So the only routes for us now are (a) no school for 10 days or (b) get a negative result and straight back in. I guess I could have told the school he was home with a cold and not mentioned the cough, but I’m well honest innit.

No rona. But i now have a bacterial infection quite deep that may require surgery.

Yikes!

No rona here, confirmed by text at 6.15am.

Oof, best wishes Sufjan

I seem to be in that category kinder described right now.

xp thanks, table. I had a small surgery yesterday. Now i have a tube running into my buttcheek connected to a wound vac. I have to take one home and carry around like Radio Raheem for a week. But it wasn't rona or even fishjackfruit.

Oof! As someone with much experience in the 'tubes going into very uncomfortable parts of my body' department, I hope it isn't too awful and that everything is okay!

thanks again, and it's not so bad. if it becomes uncomfortable, i can indeed remember the experiences of others on this board. this is nothing compared to what you went through.

My son is off school today looking quite listless, in bed all day + with standard cold symptoms and some coughing, but thank fuck a normal temperature of thereabouts 98f. If he develops a fever then that's when I'll be in a state of PANIC!

Sounds worse than my 9 days of feeling extremely rundown, but ymmv. Glad you're on the mend. xp

my niece has the rona, there was an outbreak in her school :(

but it seems to be a mild dose (she's 13): thankfully her mum and dad seem to have dodged it so far (they live in a roomy house and can keep their distance if need be)

how is everyone from the thread doing all these months later?

(eight whole months ffs)

three teachers at my son's school have got the rona in the last month - it always was one of the most dangerous of professions but it's got even worse now.

I forgot this was the thread for this, sorry. So today is day five. Feel pretty good if I don't try to do too much, but on the other hand, just washed my hair and then my arms felt tired and I was slightly dizzy from this great exertion.

If you've had the seasonal flu before, how bad is it in comparison?

I usually don't get the flu.

Definitely more achy yesterday and the day befoer than I can remember being before.
