Adults. Are there lots of summer bugs going around?

[AmericaPleaseThanks]

Since Sunday I've had the worst "heavy cold" I've ever had I'm literally in pain with it. My ears and my throat feel like they're on fire and my mouth is dry as sandpaper. I usually kick things like this within a day or two but it just isn't shifting.

Is anyone else dealing with this in August? I was literally up having coughing fits for all of Monday night.

I'm definitely coming down with a filthy cold. I haven't had a summer cold for years and I'm deeply unimpressed.

I have a savagely painful ear, a moderately sore throat and a snuffly nose.

DP and I have also had D&V on and off. Today is the first day since Sunday that we’ve eaten.

Yes, during 3rd week of summers hols after returning from abroad. Started to feel a bit feverish over there but it was extremely hot so thought heat exhaustion. Developed persistant cough. Then once home, full on cough, headache, body aches. Didn't have any nasal conjestion. Cough only just cleared.

Covid never went away, we just got a game changing vaccine, it’s still very easily transmitted. There’s a lot of threads like this these days, it often ends up being Covid.

That's a thought. I'll have to see if I've got any tests left.

I’ve had Covid six times. My lungs are fucked.

If I’ve got it again I’m going to be really PO.
