In our team of 8, a 4th person has tested +ve today. And we all work from home with zero contact. It's everywhere at the moment. Hope you don't have it too bad.
Not too bad and recovery seems a lot quicker, whereas I was fatigued for 6 weeks first time, just left with cold like symptoms lingering. Its just annoying in that I was hoping to push on a bit in training and like you know Carl a few weeks off really dents progress or current fitness.
The common cold usually Peter out in spring and summer, but everywhere I read or hear, folk are getting symptoms- AKA new strain Covid
I'm concentrating on dietary/medical control, weight management with data collection, whilst ebiking locally.

Yes, I have a lingering 'cold' now ... can't stop coughing, head all fuzzy etc, but nothing serious. My leg is my main hinderance. If the leg was ok I'd be riding by now

I went to a conference in London with a colleague last week - we shared a train, spent the day together, had dinner and a social in the evening, then the same train home. Basically side by side for 24 hours.
He came down with covid and has been in bed with it - classic flu symptoms and a cough. I'm fine, feel 100% and done two tests - both negative. I'm 99% sure I was exposed but got away with it

That's the lottery. Wife had Covid 2 months ago from London social trip. I didnt get it

I had it and my wife never caught it. There was an article I read that said the more Neanderthal genes you have the more susceptible to Covid. So I blame my ancestors for their lack of dating standards.

@Randyberlin - SWMBO has worked on a live COVID/COVID rehab ward for over two years, frequently without PPE due to the nature of her job.
She's never caught it. Nor SARS, Yellow Fever or any of the other serious infectious diseases wards she's worked on. We've come to the conclusion that she's immune to almost everything having grown up in rural Africa since she's never been ill in the 30+ years I've known her, despite ignoring all basic healthy living advice; diet/weight/exercise.

My wife grew up in Kenya till she was 10, and hadn't had chicken pox until she was 36 (same time as both of our sons). Fortunately, because she was breastfeeding at the time, she was able to be prescribed antiviral drugs which I'm sure prevented her from being seriously ill.
She's also had Covid (again, same time as both of our sons). I spent a fortnight in close confines to them all, tending to their needs and generally being a latter-day Florence Nightingale, and never got Covid...

Good advice that. Had to go on the M25 twice in the last week and that's far too close for my liking

You say that but the police caution - anonymised of course- tells a different story.

You’ve seen that Indian Jones movie where our hero has to escape a runaway boulder? If I dropped a bollock at the moment you would have to run!! 😁
