and recovered, and I'm calling it now: I had this in the first week of December.
Symptoms, timing, recovery, everything identical. Yes, I know that's too early, but I'm telling you, I HAD IT.

I don't really understand how anyone has a job to do, really. Everyone I know works in either the motor industry or the airline industry, and they're all sitting around scratching.
I've discovered that our intra-office communication is actually much better when we don't have an office. People I've barely spoken to in two years are popping up on Microsoft Teams every five minutes to ask me some pain-in-the-arse question. It's fúcking irritating.
I'm still wondering if this isn't a huge overreaction, to be honest. At the moment we seem to be proceeding on the basis that something that might kill half a million of - let's be brutal - our less productive people is worth tanking our entire economy for.
That's admirably humane of us in the short term, but I'm not convinced it's actually very sensible in a macro, long-term sense.
Unless, of course, it's potentially worse than they're letting on.

In my experience it's really not so bad. I mean I was unpleasantly ill for 3 or 4 days, but only at 'nasty flu' levels, not 'I need an ambulance' levels.
I suppose I am young and fit, but still.
Regarding your final point, if it were the case that it's potentially worse than they're letting on, are there not likely to be too many agencies working on this who are external to government to avoid any doomsday info leaking out?I'm still wondering if this isn't a huge overreaction, to be honest.

Oh, sure. I'm not doing the conspiracy theory thing, I'm just trying to find a reason why this is being treated as it is when the demographics and mortality rates appear not to justify it.

it in. Thought it was a mild Flu at one point then, for one night only, it got really vicious. Raging fever, dry cough, and aches in my jaw bones and shoulders unlike anything previously experienced. Nearly took myself to hospital.
Shouldn't we be telling Boris and how do we get in touch? You're a swivel, brexy lunatic c - he'll listen to you.
