OVERDRIVE Posted May 7, 2022 Share 3 hours ago, ChrisF said: The scary bit now is people deliberately saying "flu", when they know there is covid in the house .... then continue to take the kids to school, even going to the office ... as their sick leave and medical aid is depleted .... @ChrisF Mate you have hit the nail on the head here. When I got ill i stayed home and told the kid we're on a Teen Titan Vibe. I understand medical aids are depleted, many cant miss work, and kidshave nowhere to be. But the health of others is always as important of our own... 6 hours ago, NotSoBigBen said: Went to collect some meds at Dischem this morning, seriously long queue... the pharmacist said despite what I thought it was more flu cases than Covid ... now whether all those 'flu' cases had been tested she didn't know ... More than three people in the queue I'll wait outside... ChrisF and Rowl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porqui Posted May 7, 2022 Share Please please please I hear a lot of flu and colds going round. DO NOT exercise when you have the flu or a cold as you can do yourself some serious harm if you do. Just take it easy till it is completely over. Your heart especially is at risk and you won't even know that you have damaged it. Take this to heart.

FirstV8 Posted June 12, 2023 Share On my birthday (71 ) 19th may i was going to do a 71km ride but only managed 30km as i felt ill . I was diagnosed with bladder infection and admitted to hospital for 5 days . Colleen came to visit a few times during my stay . I was discharged on the Friday and on arrival at home found Colleen to be ill (Covid positive ) . The next day i was Covid positive as well so we isolated ourselves for 2 weeks to get over the dreaded Lurgy . I felt the effects of this Covid and can now sympathize with others . I waited another week before attempting a ride . I went out yesterday afternoon to our local Mtb trail , riding there and doing only one short lap and back home gave me a comfortable 20 km . This morning i started my daily ride routine and did a flat 25 km easy ride ( 19kph ave ) . I will slowly build up to my daily 40km again . I have always believed that a ride shorter than 20km is not worth the effort so ill keep it at 25 km until im confident enough to push on a bit further .

Dexter-morgan Posted June 13, 2023 Share I am sure I had covid when I came back from holiday, Doc said, she doesn't think its covid but if I wanted to test it was on my own cost, BTW, I got the same meds that I got when I had covid. dasilvarsa and Ispeed_V 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted June 14, 2023 Share Currently down with what felt exactly like my Omicron infection from last year only worse with an even higher fever. Nasal swab says no COVID but positive for H1N1. GP says swine flu. I know its cos I took over a mates tbv entry. Soon as I clicked pay on my banking app the nasties started planning their vector. Happens every time I enter. By the time I recover I'll still have 50 days so I'll be alright. DroppedRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a fever like that since I was a kid. I'm a big proponent of taking a flu shot. We had our shots at end of March. My wife caught the flu before me, at the end of May, she had it fairly bad, significant hot and cold fever. I had it half a week later, was only off work for 1 day. Two kids had a mild flu somewhere in the same time frame. So, never a guarantee to have a mild/no reaction when you already had the shot, but I do believe it dulled the hit we received in 3 out of 4 cases...

Ja that's I read the stats say and varies from year to hear in its efficacy so I understand. I'm definitely going to have it next year. I'm not lying when I say I was fever hallucinating rows of pink and purple bicycles riding past me. Vetplant and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm constant browsing job listings and have noticed that so many companies have changed their logos this month to include pride colours.
