Daily cases have dropped by a third from this time last week. Encouraging.

@Don 4 weeks now with 0 taste and smell. Lemme join your support group
Most who recover will have recovered within 1 month I think so welcome to the gang. I think [without being able to access fb on my mum's phone] it's the one called 'Covid-19 Smell and Taste Loss'. You won't find any answers, merely comfort in seeing others' tales [and the occasional decent gash].
You had no improvement at all? I had a 10% burst at about 1 month in IIRC. The euphoria that comes along with it is incredible, saviour it.
Have you sought any medical advice for your predicament Don?
No. Fairly confident doctors don't have an abswer for this yet so have held off until I hear of some progress on that front. I also struggle for phone signal in my flat (I have to go on my balcony to make calls outside of whatsapp) which doesn't help my motivation but I had been meaning to phone to arrange an MRI for my back so fuck it, will phone this week and keep the thread updated.
How common is this affliction at this point? They might be genuinely interested to see you.
Must be pretty common if 2 of our 5ish confirmed cases have it. Fuck me. Imagine Christmas with no taste buds.
Last week i could sense a vague smell when i sprayed my cologne on my wrist and then put my wrist up to my nose, but can't even smell that anymore. Also can't taste anything, which i guess is part of parcel of the same issue.
Have you tried the essential oils sniffing thing? I'm gonna go buy some today but i can't imagine it'll do much because i already have a daily routine of sniffing cologne, Nutella, barbecue sauce and natto bean going
Covid really is mental. How the fuck does a respiratory illness make your toes itch, switch off your Olfactory system and age your heart by 10 years?
14k members on the facebook group. It's global so not exactly significant but they've made enough noise and raised awareness about it enough for me to not feel like I need to bang the drum from some MK GP practice.
Yeah I was sniffing a heady combination of Tea Tree, Rosemary, EDT and Chilli sauce for first couple months.
They call it smell training but fuck off is it some sort of rehabilitation, its only use is to give yourself a yardstick for [lack of] progress.
Have you transitioned to eating either the cheapest rubbish you can (financial) or incredibly healthy (to become a super don)?
Maybe Taz can finally come good on that Pube Sandwich bet, or whatever it was
I'm a twit
I delivered on that. Question all but my integrity, please.
Great piece on BBC News just now covering a couple of Burnley-based priests breaking down retelling the story of hardships they've had to witness due to COVID. One of their subjects praising their work and reiterating how she would have been hopeless without them as she wraps her toothless gums around a 40p fag which equates to 1 solid meal of instant noodles.
This 'period poverty' shit is wearing more than a bit thin. Your period is costing you a quid a month, Mary. Maybe focus on the online bingo if you want to cut back.

The Welsh were giving this a go earlier. 'We don't know if we will allow the English in when their lockdown ends'. Ivor, mate, there's not exactly a queue forming.
Speaking of which, their two week 'firebreak' seems to have worked out. Their rinky-dink 'parliaments' want pulling down after all of this.

How is that getting past any sort of discrimination law?
They're well used to blowing all existing laws up on a whim after nine months of this, they won't be giving that up easily.
Yeah but only things pertaining to trivial shite like earning a living and individual freedom. Good luck against equality legislation.
We had our first case in almost 3 months yesterday.

Ive got symptoms now and it’s like a comedown x10. Constant headache whilst my body is soaked in sweat but shivering. Feels like sunburn all over your body when I touch my arms etc
All that coke coming back to haunt you now biy.
We just removed the hard border with NSW and Victoria.
The amount of photo ops on the news was sickening especially the Police taking photos with the public.
Lewis Hamilton has Covid. Is 2020 about to redeem its self?
Alright, Bottas 4.0.
I saw a news item suggesting Newcastle United are riddled with it but not much reaction?
There's been reports, yes. 2 players and some staff members so far. Which players, I have no idea. It's also been (or is still going) through our academy ranks.

That's not a bad feed for the money. These landlords getting round the regulations should be on the honours list.
The pub nearest me is doing similar. Everything on the menu is £3 a go.
What this latest row has made me want to know is where you get the decent-looking scotch eggs seen in all these stock photos. All the ones I've ever had have been gristly trash.
Some clever fucker should cost it on the basis of whatever the government spends on feeding prisoners (or school children) and just have a massive Oliver Twist-esque cauldron of gruel on the go all the time.
Pfizer vaccine has been given approval. Expected to start 'rolling out' next week.
It's happening.
I assume that Matt Hancock's neighbours are top of the list.
The EU need to extract a digit and get me my jab. Can't believe they've been donned by Hatt Mancock
Anyone who won't get one should get Mong tatooed across their foreheads and not be let in anywhere again.
My main concern is that they're going to press on with this 'once you're vaccinated you can do what you want' shit. So, I've written off a year of my like to keep Deirdre alive and now she's going to give it the big 'I'm off on holiday, stay safe guys' whilst we wait at the back of the queue?
