Due to covid, the regular flu strains have taken a hiding, somewhere around 10% of their "normal" infection rate.
So well done Vince, doing your bit to stop another life form extinction.
Bushys scotch idea may not help, but after a few you wont care.
Get well.

Scotch is a good idea mate...I have a couple of bottles of 18 yr old single malt...but I think Rum is a better option as there’s something in it that viruses just don’t like.

Mix it with a wee bit of caramel because it takes 20 minutes to kill viruses and bacteria with alcohol and sugar and honey kill on contact.

You may want to dose up on vitamin B, C and D and zinc just to help your immune system. And drink an equal amount of water as alcohol so you don't get dehydrated.

Before long you'll be wanting bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, toast and coffee.

Thanks Paul. I’m doing most of what you say already mate. It’s a nasty.

Ya lousy buggers...I’m reduced to toast and tea at the moment because I feel as sick as a dog, as crook as Rookwood (a massive cemetery in Sydney). This bug has killed off my appetite, and I have reduced taste and smell. It’s a nasty one.

I had home made lamb curry & rice tonight - meat was as sweet as it comes.

Washed down by a bottle of really nice, South African Merlot. Very Happy

Get well soon mate & I hope it isn't THE dreaded lurgy which has laid you low.

No mate, it’s not THE dreaded one. I actually had a second COVID test this morning (another swab of the inside of my skull) because my Dr requested one. I expect this one to come back negative as well. I also had a chest X-ray...luckily I don’t know what I’m looking at because something simply does not look right.

Lots of dark areas usually equal fluid.
But if you are an ex smoker there will be lots of shades from white to black.
Let the doc earn his pay and look at it.
There seems to be a bug making the rounds, the girlfriends daughter has been hammered by something similar this week.
Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, you are right...the Dr will be earning his “shekels”. It’s been over a week now and I seem to have settled into a slight improvement, but no further situation. As you have no doubt seen on TV, there is a bug doing the rounds called Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It’s quite common, but it can also get quite severe. I have to ring the Dr this morning for results, so I’ll should find out what bug is gnawing away at my lungs then.

Vince,
What's the diagnosis? you're leaving us hanging...
