I took an easy stroll for some fresh air and sun. Helps the lungs clear up. And combined with a hot shower on my return, it has equalised my humanity a little.

It’s quite the glorious lurgi, isn’t it. I assume you have what I had because so many people seem to have been getting it.

Yes, a few people have been very sick at my workplace. Fortunately, not literally in the office which is probably how I have dodged it.

Anyway, glad to hear you are both on the mend. Seems to take people a week to recover fully.

I’m currently 10 days since initial symptoms and still somewhat snuffly. So yes, not good.

Just had the chill sneak back up on me, so a couple of paracetamol and a few moments supine in bed are in order until things settle down…

went back to the GP - a bit of virus chest cold that has kicked off bronchial inflammation! Yay! Got me some of that ‘roid shit, mate!

same! the steroids will act quickly to address the bronchial inflammation - the main thing is not having any infection set in and necessitating antibiotics!

I saw someone in Sydney say the other day that their workplace or school or whatever had a 20% absentee rate.
