Thanks both. We also keep test kits at home, as it's definitely something to be careful with.

Hope you feel better soon! I haven’t heard about anybody having it for a while, but then I think many people are no longer testing- I’m not sure I would unless I had a specific reason like a close contact |

GWS. I've got test kits at home (and had a booster in May). Due to being on methotrexate I've also just had a pneumococcal jab!

We’ve been a house of contagion this week - husband had it, now I have it. Plus at least 4 colleagues of mine, and some of his. Nothing says summertime like a bout of Covid. I’m less sick this time - mainly fatigue, headache, body ache. We still have test kits at home.

@GetOutTheDoor GWS. A few people have said there seems a lot of something similar about (I'm in the West Midlands), but Christina Pagel posted a load of stats on BlueSky yesterday that look like it's declining. I do wonder how accurate a picture we have these days though. I felt quite rough yesterday, bit better at the moment but am still getting an instant strong positive LFT result. I was hoping it might be a little bit less instant and strong than the last one, but it's not. My last covid jab was November 2022, so probably isn't going to help much. On a positive note, I've lost a couple of pounds from lack of appetite so I'll be able to run faster once I'm better

@RunnyBunny hope you recover quickly. I suspect the stats are dubious. Not many people testing, let alone reporting. We've just had a week of graduation ceremonies at work, so a lot of mingling and visitors to town. Perfect for transmission.

I'm pretty convinced Mr SD has had it (all the symptoms) and I'm now showing symptoms for the second time in five weeks. We've not tested, so wouldn't show up in any stats and I reckon there are a lot like us 🤔

Definitely feeling a bit better today, although smell and taste are now affected which is always a bit depressing when a medicinal cornetto would appeal otherwise. I'm going to test every couple of days and hopefully will be negative soon. Next test tomorrow.
