I think I might be a little sick.
Runny nose and coughing due to stuff getting stuck in my throat.
Blah. What a horrible way to spend the last and next few days.
Rest up! It's EVERYWHERE and hit me like a ton of bricks
@imoldgreeeg @Duenan If it's any consolation, I was quite literally going to post the exact same thing.
I got home last night and my voice was a little hoarse. Woke up this morning with a slightly sore throat and a runny nose.
So I pulled out a rat test, and thankfully it was negative for COVID.
I’ve done a covid test last night. Negative result.
May do another one tonight. I had my flu shot a couple of weeks ago so I didn’t think I’d catch something so fast.
I’ve been losing my voice as well in and out, same as you.
@Duenan Wifey had COVID a few weeks ago. She's just recovered her sense of smell and taste now. So my concern was (despite all our best efforts) I may have caught it.
Really hope that's not the case.
I just had a nice big bowl.of soup with *lots* of chilli.
Anyway, I hope you get well soon 💜
Keep testing over the next few days, i remember being sick with it and doing tests and one day suddenly the tests came up positive even having days of symptoms and testing negative before that.
I’m certainly doing as little as possible though the stupid laundry is going to be unavoidable.
Apparently they spray the elaborate ballet costumes with vodka instead of washing or dry cleaning, and you can do it to normal clothes too. Dump some Smirnoff on your socks and see. Tada! No more laundry.
