Yes that’s about right. Had that. Also ridiculously high temperature for a week and the cough of doom. Fortunately not enough doom to get me.

The lack of taste was horrible. Coffee and chocolate tasted like snarfing an ash tray for a week.

Apologies if inadvertently hosing down any C survivor thunder   :(   but those are bog standard common cold or generic bug flu symptoms.

Been there many times over the years, and the ash tray snarfing vibe is worse for ex-smokers,
because you get the returning urge during all that rattle headed runny nosed phlegm work, for that one last last LAST  :-[  cigarette or diy rollie, 
to seal the 'final' willpower deal on 'giving up forever'  :horse:

The good news is your immunity levels are now higher, so little risk of catching those sniffles again for a while  :clap:
nor any floating or handballed fear flu nasties that many 'misinformed' Jack and Jill newbie hypochondriacs are freaking over,
whilst under voluntary house detention
with a guaranteed 'outbreak' of unemployment and bankruptcy just around the corner, to really make them feel ill.  :popcorn:

Yep aware of that. Probably will never know if it was that or not based on the lack of progress on antibody tests as well.

Never smoked never will. My entire ash tray experience was from an acquaintance of mine who’s room smelled and looked like a volcano had exploded.

Honestly I’m rather enjoying this shit. No one is harping on about coming into the office more often (i worked from home before mostly), I have an massively unfair advantage over new home workers, the shop queues give me a few minutes to listen to some music, the pollution has gone from my street, zero unemployment risk, no school runs to do, car fuel bill has gone to nothing, spend less as a whole, no aeroplanes flying over me (live near Heathrow) and when I go out for a walk or run all you have to do is look at someone and they piss off  :-DD

Same sort of deal here too  :clap:  but noticed lately on cloudless sunny days, it's not me they are fleeing from, 

it's their shadows chasing them  ___ :scared:___ :scared:___

No shyte  ;D

Try pretending to cough, and see what happens!!  :-DD

Haha, I went to a lab today and even with a mask on everyone stopped what they were doing and watched me after I coughed a couple times.
