Me and Covid-19

I was diagnosed positive 7 days ago and promptly was booked in to hospital. The only exercise I get is peeing in what looks like a nice silver vase. Jokes a side, this is the most debilitating disease ever. This talk about 14 days of self isolation. The reality I'd that yes, you are isolated, flat on your back, wired up to all kinds of devices, including 2 additional oxygen streams. That's the maximum they can give me.
Yes, 24 days self isolation sounds, well incocent in a way, but it really hides the reality.
 
Hang in there.
You're probably in the best place to ride the Virus out.
My partner is a Doctor and has been front-line for months, aside from a couple of periods of R&R when (despite her protests) her superiors ordered Sofie to come home before she burnt out.
COVID 19 is real, and worryingly comes in a variety of flavors.
Unfortunately we have had a new cluster break out in New South Wales, apparently brought in by a Flight Crew originating in the US.
In my home state this is viewed with great concern, as we are very proud of our record of 49 days without a single locally acquired case and no 'imported' infections.
So at least you are in Hospital which is a good thing, especially as the staff should have enough experience to get you out and about sooner rather than later.
Isolation does drive one Bat**** Crazy, we were in a hard lockdown for four months, not something I enjoyed at all.

Hey Robin,

What a revolting development!

I hope you get better real quick!

For what it's worth, my sister, who is a couple years older than you and has multiple risk factors for a bad response to covid, has had it twice and got over it both times. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's not a train coming the other way.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Hi Robin,

Sorry to hear the virus has caught you. Get well soon and I hope for a speedy full recovery. :encouragement:

Cheers,

Hi guys,. Absolutely nothing to do, down to 1x oxygen streem from 3,flat on back, no energy to do a thing, no appetite, no taste.
Stay safe guys, the docs say another 7 - 10 days.
 
Robin, best wishes for a speedy and comfortable recovery. Enjoy the holidays and New Year ahead. Focus forward.
 
Hi Pete,

Hopefully you get well soon again. I had already noticed you had not visited the forum for quite a while, so I was already wondering whether you were okay.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Pete, sorry to hear you & Mrs suffering. Me & my Mrs due for vaccine (being 80+) this Wednesday with follow up 20 Jan, so hope we should be safe. Back in Feb last year (2018) we both caught the Flu even though we had the vaccine the previous October, that one floored us taking about 3 months to fully recover, but obviously not as bad as this covid19, so can't really imagine your & Robins situation. Hope you get well soon.
Regards
Keith

Its no flu, whatever anyone says. Took about 5 days for the fever to break, coupled with the grandaddy of all headaches only water to drink as anything else tasted ( and still does taste off) then everything becomes bunged up with ooze, nose,throat etc. Constant cough you can't draw breath between

Still not out of the woods here yet

My Dad 92, got his jab last week

Add my best wishes as well.
Thus far Oz is holding it's own, aside from a localised area in Sydney.
Aside from a very small number of dickheads it has seen the local populace 'do the right thing' and act very responsibly.
