I'm generally not a sickly person in anyway and haven't had even a sniffle since I last caught my only dose of mild COVID back in July '21 but I did the old "spoke too soon" and stupidly told two people this fact last week and so, by Saturday, the God of being a **** made sure I'd picked up whatever current chesty cold/flu thing thats currently going around and, to be very honest, its hit me way harder than COVID did and I haven't suffered anything like this since I got Pneumonia in mid '11 after picking up a bug doing some "wild swimming" with a nice hospital visit attached.
It's all been very heavy, chesty coughs with a slight fever so far, with no achy joints or sore throat etc that you'd "usually" associate with cold/flu but, speaking to work colleagues who are off over the Easter break with kids, its seems to be the same with lots of them right now.
