    I had two types with zero ill effects, maybe a little from Fizzer, but I may have imagined it..........I'm contemplating getting another.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Hi all,
    Well it took me over 3 years to get it - finally caught the COVID.
    Felt a bit wretched last week, then a tickle in the throat, then a sore throat and then a cough and temperature. Don't reckon I could have gone to work with it that is for sure! Have been isolating since the early week-end.
    The wave sounds like it is coming! Leaves you worn out - I have had the 5 jabs as well.
    Go easy everybody!

    Same, we have had the fifth just over 3 weeks ago. Wife is now at home with Covid, positive on Friday. Coughing and feeling a little run down. Got prescribed some new Covid drug ( 3 in the morning, 3 at night) and started them Friday night, feeling better by Sunday. She also works in an industry where she deals with many people so she thought is better not to go in until clear.

    Hi Keith,
    Yep. Unfortunately my wife caught COVID off me and she is immune-compromised and had to get straight on to the Doctor to get anti-virals. She is a lot worse than me but I am just hoping that the anti-virals can help her
    COVID is a bugger of a thing which aims for the respiratory system - lungs. Pneumonia is quite common - you have to be very careful. Hospitilisation and a respirator if breathing is compromised.
    Good luck for your wife and if you have not had it you have to be very careful as it is extremely contagious obviously.

    Sorry to hear about your wife, David. I think the anti virals will knock it over quick. My wife only has a minor cough now. I am now positive with it. Did a RAT and is positive, have had a PCR just waiting for the results. All I had in the last day or two was a minor funny throat, minor cough and partial blocked nose. Same symptoms as a cold might give you. These symptoms are a lot less than the previous times I've had Covid. Glad it hit now though as I'm back to work next week from holidays.

    Hi Keith,
    Yes these COVID'S are certainly virulent. My wife and I were being careful and she still got it. What we found was that the latest COVID knocks the stuffing out of you and make you very physically tired. I had quite a high temperature as well with a bit of a sore throat. Sense of taste and smell has been affected as well and like a metallic taste in the mouth. Anyway it is a week since I first caught it and am a lot better but still coming up positive. I heard that it can be days or even weeks that it can show as positive but you generally are not infectious.
    Best of luck with your health.
