Have you had covid of late?

I thought I had tonsillitis at first with a really sore throat but now my throat is getting better I still have strong flu symptoms. Anyone else had this? Thanks

Flu A is on the rise and we're seeing more flu cases in the hospital after the Christmas holiday period. We aren't seeing much covid in comparison.

I suppose it could be Flu A:

Thanks BB. 👍

I did have my Flu jab last year but didn’t get a covid one for the first time though.

That’s true, but is there any point these days you just get over it? I know in a couple of days time I will be a lot better, mind you I have had since Friday/Saturday last week but my throat is a lot better now.

Just one of those things you live with now.

My wife and I made appointments to get the flu vaccine in early October, then both caught probable flu, before the appointments. Has never happened before…

Knowing if you have it or not helps protect (i.e. stay at home) others that are vulnerable and don't just get over it.

I've been laid up with flu since NYE.

It's kicked my arse this time around, I was bed ridden for the first three days and have felt about as unwell as I ever have until yesterday, when I started to improve, and feeling much better again today so hopefully over the worst of it.

Now just the chest infection it's left me with to deal with....

Hope you continue to feel better, Dave. 👍 I am nearly back to normal now. Runny nose a lot this morning and now not a lot.
