OK which one of you disease ridden reprobates gave me Covid at Lower Lode?
Anyway I know the drill. Red Cross painted on the door and I've got my plague bell out...                                                                                                                                                                             

I've been rough the last couple of days too,
Going by the chatroom, so as Strom                                                                                                                                                                             

**** I have what I thought was simply a cold / flu come on me since Lowerlode
Take it you have tested positive for Covid Steve?
This could put a whole new take on it now!                                                                                                                                                                             

It certainly does, I have my flu jab tomorrow and my Covid jab on Sunday, that is if I dare leave the toilet. This afternoon coughs, sneezes and shivers have morphed into explosive d+++ so beware sudden winds🤧                                                                                                                                                                             

I was bad Mon/Tues then started feeling better.
Lindsey came down with it Wednesday and was feeling so shite today she dug out one of the old test kits. She's positive.
So I tried one too 😀

But I'm going to try a new approach.
It rained most of last week didn't it. Thursday night I decided to become a 'climate denier' and we had a sunny weekend. So this denial thing obviously works.
Tomorrow I'll become a 'covid denier' and we will all immediately feel better 😊

Failing that pass the lemsip...

Blimey dont blame me, i have man flu as well. Assumed that was because we all got chucked off the train at Exeter, in the wind and rain and had to find our own way home! I was soaking wet for several hours and had to play naked Twister when i got home!                                                                                                                                                                             

Well Steve, at least you should have no issues isolating yourself at home 😂

Bollox, just tested positive myself, however my ex is negative so unless I've picked it up from the pool I too have brought a present home from Lower Lode 🤧                                                                                                                                                                             

The new mutation, XEC, does seem to be particularly infectious in the pre symptomatic stage - as confirmed by our little soiree at the Lower Lode Inn and my sharing it with SWMBO.

Although now is a good time to go and visit all those people who irritate you 🙂

How are we all doing with our Secret Santa Disease?
I think I'm mending nicely, aches and shivers all gone and I've been out on the scooter (to avoid having to socialise), but my head still feels like the aftermath of one of those 80 / 90's parties 🎉
Hopefully you're all on the way back to what passes as normal.

Tested positive yesterday so it was Covid for me as well
"Flu" symptoms virtually gone so hopefully I can put my bell away soon
I wonder how many more of us caught it / didn't read this thread and simply thought they had picked up a chill?                                                                                                                                                                             

Still suffering with aches, dizziness and shivers and decidedly weak. Haven't coughed like this since I gave up smoking 10 yrs ago🤣 Even skipped my swim yesterday. Well done to those taking the responsible course of action and getting tested. Probably going to miss my Aunts funeral next week as too many vulnerable people going to be there.

I have woken up this morning with a sore throat, and I didnt even go to lower lode. Just these comments from you pestilencial buggers has somehow transmitted the deseased microbes over t'interweb to infect me.
You should all be ashamed for not taking more precautions when interacting on here. I suggest you all wear face masks wrap yourselves totally in clingfilm and avoid using any electronic forms of communication until you can provide negative c19 test results followed by at least one month quarantine of limited forum/chatroom use consisting of nothing more than reading only.
It is for the best......Trust me I'm a doctor.

And remember to pop a prophylactic over the phone when viewing those, err, specialist, websites 🤪                                                                                                                                                                             

Aka a Gossamer or french letter.
Safety first peeps, safety first.                                                                                                                                                                             

Just take a nice sip out of that bleach bottle....
                                                                                                                                                                             

That's the bit I don't understand as I normally spend an hour and a half a day in chlorine solution 🤔                                                                                                                                                                             

Still testing positive ffs 🙄                                                                                                                                                                             

Update from here. I'm feeling fine, but a test this morning showed a vague plague line.
Fortunately I don't have to go anywhere, do anything, talk to anyone and am up to riding me bike if the sun reappears.
So actually that's four wins in my book 🙂

Finally tested negative, free of the plague 👍                                                                                                                                                                             

I tested negative today too, although my head still feels post party albeit without the party 🤨
How I everyone else doing?
