Holiday Nightmare!

[AmbTurn]

AIBU here?

We have come away the two of us for 10 days. Had a bit of a nightmare the first 3 days as our cases didn't come on the plane with us, they turned up 3 days later so I spent the first 3 days on the phone emailing etc.

Anyway, cases did turn up on day 3! Great let's get on with enjoying the holiday.

Thursday afternoon all of a sudden I felt I had been hit by a bus. I woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever and aching from head to toe. Ended up in bed all day yesterday because I felt so bad.

Managed to get up today and get to the chemist as I knew it was more than a cold. The chemist gave me some stuff for the flu and a Covid test. Top and bottom of it is, I've tested positive for Covid hence the reason why I feel horrendous.

Partner seems really pissed off. Hardly speaking to me! That's the vibe I'm getting. He went to the adult only pool yesterday until 6pm as I told him pointless sitting in the room with me.

Today after I got the positive test he's annoyed again. Saying well I have to spend the holiday on my own! Didn't ask how I was feeling or any regard for the fact I feel horrendous with a temperature and I'm wasting my holiday stuck in bed in the room.

At least he can go out round the pool in the sun! AIBU in thinking he's being a bit selfish in just thinking of himself? It's really getting on my nerves!

Well he sounds like an absolute prince! The luggage and illness are t your fault and he shouldn't be taking his frustrations out on you! What an awful man

What the in thing these days 'match his energy' when he gets Covid

I currently have covid bad and live with my elderly father. He hasn't caught it yet, and didn't get it from me last time I had it.

Sorry buy your partner sounds heartless. I hope you feel better soon.

I hope he catches it.

Then you can fly home and take his charger.

OFFS

They're still around...

And you are generally extremely poorly with flu

Christ here we go!
I suppose you believe the earth is flat?
Saying covid isn't real is akin to saying the common cold and influenza don't exist either.
I smell a troll

Do tell us all about your credentials as a scientist, and the peer-reviewed research you've done that supports your learned findings.

I’m reporting your ignorant post

Aren't you bored of this by now
Go read the Light and get yourself some new rubbish to spout

I agree with this.

Omg it doesn't matter if it's covid or flu or whatever. That's not the point. The point is she is very ill (assuming people still beleive in illnesses and dont think drs are all liars and that no virus in the world exists) and her husband is being an arse. The point about covid is irrelevant. Insert the name of an illness you believe in. Poor op has come on for some support and has had everything fighting amongst themselves. What a load of utter nonsense to prove yourselves right at the expense of someone feeling ill.

I never understand the "I had that and I was fine" attitude. Some people can work 12 hour shifts with tonsillitis others need hospitalised for complications from it. Some people spend 3 hours after giving birth in hosp , some are in for a week. Should the nhs chuck everyone out after 3 hours by that logic?

This thread is one of the most batshit I've read in over 15 years of being on here.

How do beer, whisky, wine and sun cure colds or flu?

It's recommended to keep hydrated with a cold or flu - alcohol and sitting in the sun will dehydrate you. It will make the sufferer feel more ill.

Being a covid denier is neither here nor there - the OP has a fever of 39. Anyone who has ever had a fever knows you rest, take paracetamol and drink fluids (not alcohol!)

On the plus side, this post makes me feel so much better about the IQs of my Year 10 class, all of whom, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, are bright enough not to spout such utter garbage.

I mean, that’s the youngest class I teach. Tbf, if I taught Year 1, I expect I’d be able to say the same thing about a class of five year olds 🤷🏻‍♀️

It beggars belief that after everything that we went through globally during that pandemic, there are still out and proud tin foil hat wearers who think it was all made up.

Am i the only one thinking OP is over reacting?

She's moaning he didn't check on her. But he left at 11:30 and he's back at 3pm ? Presumably to check she's ok not because his day was over...its his holiday too

She's not a kid!! How do you think single people manage with the flu?

A genuine doctor should know that most people with flu are asymptomatic, and only a small proportion will have temperatures of 38/39C.

A genuine doctor should know that most people with flu are asymptomatic, and only a small proportion will have temperatures of 38/39C OP isn’t asymptomatic though and the weirdos on here suggesting alcohol and sunbathing are off their heads. I live in a country with very hot temperatures and when we are sick we stay out of the sun and hydrate with water and rest, like normal people do in any country.

People saying just get on obviously haven’t felt really unwell. When I had covid I was vomiting. Who on earth wants a person next to them at pool vomiting or even worse in the pool! I think your husband is just very disappointed and not expressing his feelings well. I can see why he went out for a while, he probably wanted to give you peace and quiet. He probably thought you would message or call if you needed him, it doesn’t sound like he went far away.

How would she contact him? She said he left his mobile.

Sure. I'm with the OP and sensible posters on that. I just wanted to correct the "doctor" spreading misinformation.

wtf?!

Why is there such a massive vaccine drive about it every winter.

My gp told me people were falling like ninepins with it a year or so ago.

Because it can be fatal to vulnerable people with a severe case, and it spreads so easily because so many asymptomatic people are walking around unknowingly spreading it.
