Haven’t spoken to him about that. If he has had flu maybe the 3 days were worse than any one of the many days he had the flu for.

I had sudden vomiting and diarrhoea with fever, which only lasted a day or so. Since then (2 weeks) I've had on-and-off dry cough, tight chest, headaches, pain in back, neuralgic pain down one arm, feeling hot but with no temperature, and tiredness.
Sounds like many of us after that Palace game.

Think I have it. Had a very mild cough/cold last few days. Possibly a bit of a temperature the other night and a slight tightness in chest. Felt absolutely fine when I woke up this morning though. Then this afternoon suddenly wham! - hit me with avengence. Of course I don't know if this is 'it' because they're not testing, but I definitely have a 'flu' of some description. Fever, headache, bit dizzy, sore throat and cough, bit of an achey chest. It's all fairly mild for now tho, so just hoping it will pass. Self-isolating for the next week.

My son and half his skiing group who returned fron Andorra on Sunday may have gone down with the virus.
Woken up with fever and headache. Hopefully just normal flu. No doubt the headache is due to the wall to wall virus coverage causing worry.
So he and his partner and now self isolating for 14 days.

I have heard numerous coronavirus tales involving ski trips (including the original Brighton super-spreader and someone I know personally here in the US). It could simply be coincidence but I do wonder if there is something about the activity of skiing, or the environment, that lends itself to the efficient spread of the virus.

I go skiing most years and often comeback with a cold within a few days. I think it is flight & transfer combo - Andorra for example is a 3 hour coach ride after the flight; plus in some hotels mealtimes are set and everyone piles in like panic shoppers. On the slopes fresh air and scenery, before and after cramped transport and bars etc.
100% agree, without testing, there is no way of telling if normal flu or Covid-19.
Woke up in the night very damp (back was dripping), however I feel 10 times better today than yesterday, no paracetamol required to get me through working from home.....

Now, to be honest. If you have it, a cough will spray out toxic droplets.

Like a hell of a lot of people, we have both had long standing cold like symptoms since November. I had what I took to be a bad case of flu at Christmas but it only lasted a couple of days so I may have had the virus already.
Without a mass testing system, we don’t know if we gave had it or not
Looks like my wife’s school will today offer to stay open with volunteer teachers only to cover children of care and hospital workers. They have locked everything away and banned books. All they are doing is acting like child minders.
BTW. It is also coming up hay fever time!

As many have said, without widespread testing - both for the presence of virus and also for antibodies, if or when such a test is available, we have absolutely no idea how many of those with symptoms actually have Covid-19 and how many have something else.
The official total of tests versus positives is as good as it gets and, according to PHE,
"As of 9am on 17 March 2020, 50,442 people have been tested in the UK, of which 48,492 were confirmed negative and 1,950 were confirmed as positive."
I'm going to assume here that the overwhelming majority of those to have been tested so far were showing symptoms that *could* have been Covid-19. And yet, when tested, only 3.8pc actually *did* have it. It was 20x more likely to be something else.
It's difficult to see how anyone can say "I've probably got it" or even "it's quite likely I've got it" given these numbers. Some with symptoms have. Most with symptoms haven't (and yet are still self-excluding, which causes considerable and ongoing damage to lives, working patterns, the economy etc).

Careful. You sound like the guy on Facebook denying it's existence and that it's all created by government's to reduce protests.

No you're wrong.
It's so that the Chinese can take advantage of cheap US and European stocks as their economy gets back to normal whilst the ROW lags behind........
Or so the UK Gov can delay IR-35 by 12 months, as they accept the initial policy wasn't fit for purpose...........
Or so the Premier League have time to sort out all the controversy surrounding VAR and can get it right, ready for the last 10 games of the season..........

Didn't sleep last night, mainly through anxiety I think. Today, very dry throat, but dry cough has changed to a wet cough. Chest still tight. Had a short kip this afternoon and feel quite a lot better for it.
