If he's describing it as 'a cold', he's clearly not asymptomatic.

Fuck living your life assuming a cold is Covid.
This winter is going to be rough if that attitude is common.
It's going to be exactly that.Originally Posted by Foe
Yeah, but Covid can resemble something less serious.
One of the guys I worked with a few years ago coughed all day, every day for the 18 months I worked with him. He’ll never see daylight again.
Either way, second wave inbound so it could well be his last chance to kill them off for some time.
My daughter has an asthmatic cough. I've had to tell a good few (old) people to fuck off.
All better!3 days in work, think I’m getting a cold
My work is "preparing" for it to come in November. I really hope it doesn't.
I'm a twit
New cases jumped by about a thousand today. Could well be sooner.
The state of some of these replies.
I have had a slight wheeze since March, was more noticeable when going to bed/lying down. Wasn't enough to warrant concern at first, then all this shit happened and my doctors was closed anyway. Now it's September and I am audibly wheezing whilst inhaling and exhaling. Talked to my GP on a phone appointment, he arranged Spirometry for me only for the practice to cancel because 'we don't have anyone qualified to do it' and advised to ring back next month to see if that's changed. Not sure where I stand on sourcing my own test but feel like it needs to happen soon, if it's asthma then brilliant, if it isn't it feels like waiting potentially another 12 weeks to do something about it could be a bad idea.
Well you've had a good run.
Not with that chest.
Twats
RIP my back.
Physical labour is not my strength.
What is your strength?
Self pity.
Weakness.
I have yet to discover it.
packing light.
My back is fucked too so rest assured it affects people at all extreme ends of the physical spectrum. Just can't say no to a game of football so been hard to rest it but I put my foot down tonight. 3 days of cold and hot presses, tiger balm and possibly a professional massage on Sunday better have me back.
What kind of massage are we talking about here, lad? Should we round up Sama and make it another boys night?
I was seeing a chiropractor which helped a lot (although I was sore the next day, especially my hip as he'd dig a thumb in) but haven't got him round for 2 months or so.
Never had a massage but I'd imagine that would help me a lot too.
Shovelling and wheel-barrowing tonnes of topsoil today was not fun.
Chiropractors aren’t real. It’s only slightly above going to a herbal medicine guy.
I thought the same until my first session.
I'd assume I'd feel the same after a massage.
Lie on your floor for five minutes. Done.
Yet to try chiros but osteopaths are Gods. Was tempted by a happy ending one but they don't deliver on the massage element, I need a chunky Slavic brute called Dragan to thumb me deep
Remember, keep the back active to aid recovery. Rest is not the way.
I found the osteopath to be more of a mountebank than the chiropractor when I needed their assistance. Nerve flossing
I definitely reckon chucking them in with the Eileen Drury's of this world is harsh
Im back ill with the usual symptoms. In now booked in with the gastroenterologist. Around midnight last night, I started to feel unwell and ive been vomiting ever since. They wouldn't give me a test until I get ill again, which is bullshit but at least I get looked at now.
Now you may not all find this interesting but I highly doubt it because it's objectively absolutely fascinating.
Since Wednesday, I've been waking up from my usual slumber at a very precise time of 6.15 or 6.30 (without fail) for no discernible reason. (I've forced myself to go back to sleep with varying difficulty)
Once it happened for the second day in a row I put it down to the packets of Seabrook Fire Eater Chilli crisps that I'd found at Lidl after a year-long pursuit (COVID tastebuds have meant I can't enjoy them any longer so I have 3 packets if any one would like them). But having cut those out, it continued and I realised it's not a dietary factor causing it.
My next hypothesis was that I'd been resting my back so had not done my usual physical exercise and this was my body simply saying it's had enough sleep. I smashed out a pacey 30km on the bike yesterday and alas, it seems it's not a physiological cause.
Mentally there's no issues and the 6 days have been tremendously varied in all aspects so I think it may be a spiritual/otherworldly phenomenon. Either that or long COVID so keep alert to such symptoms in the news in a few months time.
Is the bed wet?
The elderly sleep less and wake early. Such is life.
Could be stress. Is ‘da ting’ giving you trouble?
Or it could be nothing.
Could be your body becoming more beta.
I sometimes get the feeling the community doesn't have my best interests at heart. I really need to eradicate such negative thought patterns.
That’ll be midnight/1am on the east coast of America. Get on Craigslist and get cyber with some tick southern birds.
I've got an ear infection and it's doing me in. I'd Van Gogh the fucker if I thought it'd make it stop.
I've had horrific itchy toes for the past 70 minutes or so, had to stop working and simply use anything and everything to try and stop the horrific burning sensation. Finally found something the girlfriend has which has soothed/numbed it a bit.
Horrible experience though. RL, should I say goodbye to my toes?
Any rash or anything?
My money's on athlete's foot.
All of my toes (bar my big toes) did become quite red and sensitive, which I assume counts as a rash.
This happened once back at the start of summer, but I thought then it was just a random thing caused by my shoes or something. Has been fine since, altho did have a lite version yesterday afternoon (assumed it was due to my wooly socks).
Probably something vanilla like skin dermatitis tbh, don't think it's athletes foot.
Probably, although if your skin starts flaking, run for your l.... don't run.
I had this earlier this year. Never got to the bottom of it but I kept putting cream on it and stopped wearing socks and it fucked off.
Lads, there's a virus going round in case you hadn't heard with a similiar symptom.
I've had three bouts of it. Tiny blisters that leak clear liquid have been present but not all the time.
Gout?
Covid causes this? Looks like the 'Flu' we had in January could have been this then.
Ya, 'covid toes' are a thing.
