No idea. All I know is that stories like yours and Tolmie’s of relatively fit guys taking a hammering is what has put the fear in me. I was never that worried about catching covid, but it does seem that many more people in middle age are getting it bad, hence I’m doing my best to have zero interactions. Hope you improve soon.

It’s a strange one I know people who have underlying health problems who have had it and felt fine, yet fit healthy individuals have been really sick with it

Can’t hit sleep as I’m throwing up now. Not huge amounts but enough.
Usually a sign the body is expelling ‘bad stuff’ but in this case I’m not quite sure.

Sad to hear, mate. Keep yourself hydrated with regular sips of water.

If you have any honey, that may help a little with the coughing (that you referred to earlier).

Never one to underestimate this but I’ve been surprised how much it’s hammered me....very rare I get ill given I eat healthy
, run/exercise daily etc.

has there been a link between viral loads & severity of the illness ?

Wishing you a full recovery, it's a truly a devastating disease for some people, guess we will know in the future about T cells and natural immunity.

Hang in there blue, you are lucid enough to post so you should have hope, best wishes, hope to hear from you when recovered.

There will always be other jobs, but there will only ever be one of you.

It's as serious as it gets if it takes a hold of a person in the wrong way.

I'd urge you to get up every day, don't lie in bed. I got up same time as normal, sat upright on sofa with a sleeping bag to keep me warm.

Half the battle was positive mindset and feel lying in bed does nothing but emphasise how bad you are feeling.

My wife brought me loads of hot water to drink, hydrating is absolutely key, as I was constantly pissing out water via my temps or the antibiotics.

Much as this has shaken me to the core, it has also done me a massive favour. I put my business of 30 years into liquidation just a couple of weeks before I picked up Covid in December.

My wife and young kids saw their dad physically vulnerable for the first time in their lives, it has scared the shit out of me and them.

I've always struggled to live in the moment and day-dreamed my life of surely better things to come, failing to appreciate my efforts and successes along the way.

No longer. I have everything I need, more than many people, with a much more chilled outlook on things.

Get yourself well. Covid has shown that no matter how much you plan your life, you can't control everything.

Could you sum up your experience with a vintage youtube video?

(Glad you are on the mend TH)

The description of your ordeal should surely act as a beacon for those not taking this virus seriously.

I am same with you with people. I have always been a less is more people with friends! This lockdown I have got into gardening and walking and reading more! Will carry on with all 3. Will really kick on again with life when this is over.

I thought I had chosen my friends wisely. Unfortunately it turns out one is a complete and utter prat and another thinks Bill Gates is the demon overlord. Madness.

Know exactly what you mean. Reignited my love of cooking and reading. Also realised I spend far too much money on nonessential crap. That wont be happening either. Just started a new van conversion which is keeping me busy at home. Cant wait to take it to the Lakes when I can.
 
Russia new cases have been falling for a week. Last couple of days Israel has shown sharp falls. Too early to say whether this is some kind of weekend reporting effect or a sustained fall. If Israel's new cases fall again tomorrow then that should mean we should now start to see some downward pressure on our new cases too.

Israel and Russia started vaccination campaigns around the same time as we did. Russia vaccinated younger age groups whilst Israel has vaccinated a lot more people.

Yea seen it mentioned a lot

Also annecdotaly everyone who I know locally who’s had it, seems like when they’ve got it off their partner who’s had symptoms first in the household, they’ve had it much worse.
