There was a guy at our firm who broke a couple of ribs and suffered concussion falling down some stairs at work. As he had more than two days off of work, they just sacked him.
.
I hope he started by suing them for unfair dismissal.
then hit them with a large claim for injury, loss of earning, damages and whatever he could throw at them
Unless its in the middle east of course ?
Just found this thread whilst trying to understand what's wrong with me! I'm day 8 and barely left my bed in that time. Major chills and horrible fever if I don't stay fully topped up on ibuprofen and have no energy when I'm at my best.
Otherwise healthy mid 40s male.
Onto 2nd type of antibiotics from GP but doesn't feel like having any impact so far. Some variant of pneumonia I believe.

I’ve had this lurgy since Wednesday. Last night I took myself off to the spare room so Mrs RC could get some sleep.
It’s what you’d call a « productive cough », but it can sound like I’m going to leave my lung on the floor.
I went to see my Dr, as my local pharmacist was s
t, and the Dr wasn’t fussed about it.
He was concerned when I told him of some other symptoms I’ve had since I had Covid early in the summer, so as soon as this lurgy has gone, I’m off for blood tests to see what else is going on with me.
(I wasn’t sick with Covid at all, and as a keen cyclist I was training for some races. After 1 week of isolation, I’m still not back to strength 8 months later. I just can’t do it.

I *think* I've finally shaken this thing off - the lurgey, that is.It’s what you’d call a « productive cough », but it can sound like I’m going to leave my lung on the floor.

I was skiing last week, but still had a few "productive coughs" whilst on piste.
I did have the blood test this morning, and I already have my full results from the lab .... some things I wasn't executing to see, that will need to be looked at in more detail. A GP appointment's needed.
(Easy to get my appt in Lux though, fortunately.)

Just out of curiosity, when you have anything to eat, what does it taste of?Otherwise healthy mid 40s male.

Still have sense of taste ok but very little appetite. I know I need to drink enough too but struggling.
It’s only now on day 5 that I’m starting to get my appetite back.Up until now I’ve only been eating 1/4 (or less), than what I’d usually eat. My sense of taste is slowly starting to come back as well.
All 4 of us in our household are just coming out of the latest bug. Was very Covid-like in terms of symptoms, although much worse.
The OH and I had it for 3 weeks, mostly a dryish but productive cough and sporadic headaches, I also got tinnitus but I'm prone to that anyway. Runny nose but only for a few days. Whole thing lasted 3 weeks. My O2 sats were sitting at 90 for days, felt like a 60 year old, 20 a day lifer.
Luckily kids were not as bad and seemed to be more snotty but not generally as badly affected.
Covid was a walk in the park in comparison. Felt so rough I checked the excess deaths for last week out of curiosity.
Oh yeah we had the sts too so it was kind of like virus bingo.

About 8 days in, first few days were odd, headaches, generally achey, loads of bogeys, still bogeys and a bit tired but getting clearer now.
These last two colds were both arguably worse than covid, sans the annoying taste/smell loss.
This is the net effect of covid lockdowns. Common colds that now see you genuinely out of work.
Years of horrible colds, NHS backlogs and poor efficacy.
More gov debt, fraud, higher taxes, probably excacerbated inflation.
Will lessons be learnt? Nope.

FFS here come the Covid obsessives to take over another thread with their wibble.
FFS here come the virtue signalling obsessives to fill another thread with inert content.There is no need for this to turn into yet another load of conspiratorial nonsense. Plenty of other places for that.
its amusing till you get it
