Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[Jenkins]

Well no LFT home delivery slots available yet again. In effect they ended free tests a week early.

I was able to order a pack late on Tuesday and it was delivered this morning.

Edited to add - this will be a spare pack which I'll take into the office so anyone who needs a test or two can help themselves

How late? I’ve tried all week, and wonder if I tried late tonight I might be lucky

Sometime around 21:30 as the confirmation email was timed at 21:41

Are they not for sale on Fleecebay, I would have thought there is a section of society who stockpiled them with little or no intention of using them & got them only because they were free.

How cynical... but... worth a check

Day 4 of being covid positive. Runny nose driving me bonkers.

But pre covid would probably still be going to work

For those who have had a mild bout of Covid how soon did you get back on your bike ? - I have heard of people who got back on after 7 days suffer a relapse of symptoms or even a new cough that they didn't have in the 7 days of COVID.

Less than 2 weeks until outdoors, but then I had to isolate for 10 when I had it (used turbo inside). No relapse of symptoms, loss of sense of smell which lingered a bit didn’t affect pedalling
Everyone is different though, do what’s right for you 🤷‍♀️

I’m a recreational cyclist, riding 10-20 miles a day, so not really no. It was a pretty mild illness, I’ve had far worse heavy colds.
It was also 6 months ago and going into winter when it always starts to feel harder anyhow

It took my a while to get back on the bike but with me it triggered other issues that needed to be investigated.

I had high temps that lingered fast the 10 or 13 day isolation period, and my other issues only stopped a month and a half ago.

Day 5 - pretty much feel ok. Some chest pain which feels muscular.

Still tested positive today - to be expected I suppose as I tested positive prior to any real symptoms. My symptoms didn't really kick in until Thurs when most people would have tested.

I had it first week of February, didn't go out on bike until the last weekend of same month. Every ride since I have felt more tired than before, seems that whenever the road starts going upwards I run out of lungs and legs.

That's what I'm dreading.... especially with a new bike on order !!!!

Thanks for the info though.

No harm to you but ....
I had Covid ... I was really Ill ... Hospitalised ... so ill for 3 weeks ... lost over a stone in weight .....
Then made a full recovery ...
Because I’m self employed .....
Amazing how many people that have long term effects of Covid have Corporate or Public sector employment ........
