China Bug finally got me
« on: November 15, 2022, 08:10:30 pm »
Was with a mate on Sunday, his wife rang me up on Monday night saying he was crook and tested positive and last night I
came down with it did a rat test and it was instantly positive. I've had five (5) vaxes so the Doc reckons it should be mild because of that, but she still started me on antivirals over a phone consultation.
Had a pretty crook night with fever and chills....hope it's just a couple of days and its gone!

Get well soon Mate .... but rest easy and take it slow, as the lingering effects are legion!!!

Good luck with the china bug - I had also one a month ago and had 3 x vaccinations.
One Day fever and bed - then 2 days coughing and then every day better and
better - it will take a week to 10 days to get back to full service - but
maybe Down under things are a little different. Wish you all the best,
Arnold :D

Thanks all, fever seems to have broken last night and feeling like a bad head cold with aches and pains.
I'm dressed and out of bed for the day, I'll see how I go mucking around in my shed and steaming up some engines :)

Hi Jim, sorry to hear this and our prayers are with you.

The wuhan flu is a nasty little bug.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Simone and I had it first of September and it knocked the daylights out of us. 
We were both double vaxxed and boosted.

It took me over a month to get my strength and endurance back.
