The 'I have some sort of lurgy but don't know if it is corona or just a cold' thread

hmm

decided to do a covid test, all clear.

i'm due for a (rare) day at the office towards the end of the week. might test again before i go.

Just say you've tested positive.

I've got a cold. I sort of knew it wasn't covid because it took ages to arrive and has been mostly sinus-based. Still sucks though. And of course now people like me can work at home so you have to just plough on through it. No daytime TV for us anymore!

Went down with it on Thursday, third time. Already felt better yesterday and fine today, but still testing positive so it's going to be a pretty dull weekend for me.

My 'cold' is still going 1 week on. Now more of a sinus infection and bit of a chest infection as well.

This "cold" or "non-covid" as I've seen it called has been nasty hasn't it. GWS and jimbarkanoodle

I tested negative, but I've been ill for nearly two weeks now! I tried to go back to work on Wednesday but was completely blocked up and coughing so obviously that wasn't going to work. I've just tried to sleep as much as possible the last 3 days and it's very slowly lifting.
