  1. It could explain why I’m feeling completely under the weather and run down for the second time this month

  2. I have felt worse than when I had Covid. Of course work believes I’m ill and not just trying to have Christmas off.

  3. If you want to feel worse just read WOL’s comment section….

  4. As my grandpa said, “never go to hospital; they are full of sick people.”

  5. I heard it’s because the Christmas fog was full of nanotechnology, which has activated the vaccine. I wish i was joking.

  6. The figures from the ONS show mostly flu and RSV, covid is at “low levels” (which still isn’t acceptable tbh). People getting absolutely whacked though. I can’t help but wonder if the immune damage from covid is catching up a bit.

  7. I’ve got a chest infection and I’ve not been this bad when I had covid. Completely wiped me out.

  8. Yep, I’m one of the lucky fuckers that’s got em ☠️

  9. This is merely a warm up for the catastrophe that will be H5N1

  10. Whilst I’ve not had the flu, I’ve been ill for the past month and half along with my wife and 6 month old. We seem to keep passing the same old cold symptoms over and over.

    Not sure if it’s having a child in nursery or just a sign of the times, but I’ve never been so unhealthy and it’s quite frustrating as it’s been stopping me doing stuff that would otherwise be beneficial, such as exercising!

  11. My whole family was hit hard by something absolutely horrible. But it was a very clever virus.

    My son had it first, picking it up in the last week of school (comp): hacking cough, then loss of appetite, then an unbelievable headache after a couple of days (causing nausea). The headache went after two days in bed. The cough lasts the whole time and tailed off about a week after he got out of bed.

    When his headache cleared, my daughter caught the virus. When her headache cleared, my wife caught it. When my wife’s headache cleared, I caught it. I still have some of the cough left, but everyone else in the family is fully recovered now.

    Smart virus that one… doesn’t make you all sick at once, meaning it can spread and reproduce nicely.

    Thankfully it’s not too long lived, but it hit us bloody hard.
