Whole family has now been ill for 5 weeks with a relentless cough that won’t quit. Everyone I speak to locally says people round them are dropping like flies. I remember similar happened tail end of 2019 and we all know what happened next.

 

covid-20 coming to a city near you early 2024, you heard it here first!

Ok, I’ll put it in the diary. 
What if it doesn’t happen though?

Everyone seems to have a cough. It looks like repeated infections of COVID whether symptomatic or asymptomatic weaken your immune system, which might explain the fact that normal colds/coughs aren't clearing up as quickly as normal. There's a 1 in 20 chance that if you get COVID you will go on to develop long COVID.

Maybe it's your opportunity to try those foods that you were always curious about but too scared to try. Here's some for starters;-

Surströmming

Stinking Bishop

Durian

Century Eggs

Casu Marzu

I’d worry, not. Nearly 2 months of coughing, runny nose and two blood tests on, still nowt showing, although the doctors surgery called this morning asking me to make an appointment to see the quack, back in tomorrow morning!

 I don't suppose you have any of those funny test kits left.
