Sweet jesus my dh thinks he has it

[RainbowSlide]

He obviously doesn't. No fever, no cold and flu symptoms not even a sore throat. If he has it, then we all must given what he's presenting:

-a little tired

• General malaise
• Bit out of sorts
• minor chest pain (its one of the muscles between his ribs but i don't think he believes his gp on this)

He's already a hyperchondriac but this is really pissing me off. He's checking his temperature multiple times a day and won't stop reading the bloody news.

SEND HELP.

With those symptoms, which are obviously NOT symptoms of the Coronavirus, then there's only one thing he can do....

It's time for The Dressing Gown Of Doom

For yourself I recommend strictly adhering to the 2-metre distance rule and self isolate in a different room to escape from the impending patheticness.

Should your partner progress to The Slipper Shlepp then there's no hope.

Can you shove him in a separate room and go about your day?

The DGOD has not yet appeared. I give it three days though and it'll be pulled out.

Given that children aren't at much risk i might suggest he takes them while i keep my distance. Possibly at a spa.

He keeps seeking me out to tell me his concerns... i swear it'll be the end of us!

Start coughing around him

Maybe he will get so paranoid, he will bolt himself in one room and you get to avoid the whinging for a week

Ugh. I think in your shoes I'd have to kill him.

Maybe smother him with the dressing down of doom?

Oh no... he’ll need to get the hell out your hair and isolate! Quietly! He won’t want to strain his throat for his dying words. Tell him to think of the children .

Isolate him! If it's Corona virus he needs to isolate!! hopefully it'll save your sanity and allow you some peace and quiet

I feel your pain OP. My DH has decided he must have it too.

I asked if he had a cough or fever. He does not, but he ‘feels ill in a way he hasn’t felt ill before‘.

He looks perfectly fine.

I have hidden the DGOD but he has found an outfit comprised of sweat pants, giant hoody and a pair of trainers that he is wearing like slippers, sans socks and shoes laces. It makes me want to murder him.

His company sent everyone to work from home, so he’s lurking around the house indefinitely now.

I wonder how many marriages will breakdown as a result of covid-19....

tell him to take a lemsip maybe to placate him

Well if he thinks he has it,get him to self isolate 2m away from you, make his own food, clean up behind him in the kitchen and bathroom each time he uses them and sleep in a separate bed. And stop seeking you out as that's obvs dangerous.

Hopefully he'll either cop on or you will get some peace and quiet.

I’m sorry I shouldn’t laugh but you’ve cheered me with with your tales of the DGOD

Have you tried telling them that they’re showing sign of anxiety not CV

Everyone at work has been like this! We have no staff because they are ‘self isolating’. Can’t be arsed to come to work more like!

My DH has decided he has it too.

No temp- minor coughing (he's an asthmatic, he's always coughing)

We can't afford unnecessary wallowing.

I hate this.

Any work needed on the patio?

Nah. Convince him it's more likely to be Ebola.

😂 I love you all.

Self-isolation under the patio?

OMG!!!! Its not CV you should be worried about. Its might the dreaded and nearly always deadly MAN FLU!!!!!

Isolation is clearly the solution. If all else fails, do you have a pair of noise-cancelling headphones and a convincing smile-and-nod routine?

I wonder how many marriages will breakdown as a result of covid-19....

I'm wondering this, DH has been told to WFH fo the foreseeable future, I only work 2 days a week and enjoy my non-working days with my music which DH hates blaring out while I do stuff and also it will make more work with more food being eaten at home. I'm not sure I can cope with DH sat at computer all day and shouting down the phone about work stuff as he does.

Me and my wife worked from home yesterday (I do anyway) and we both worked at the dining room table, she kept giving me "the look" as I've got a pretty persistent cough.

I decided to do "temperature roulette" for a giggle and it was well up over 37deg. Ooops!!

I've donned the "hoodie of hypochondria", signed up to Pure Cremations and slept downstairs.

My DP texted me while he was at work yesterday saying he thought he was getting cv. I asked him why and he said he'd had a headache all morning and "felt a bit weird". He admitted by the time he got home that he'd "probably" been overreacting.

I'd pop out buy a travel kettle, a 5l bottle of water, then give him a stack of lemsips and pot noodles, tell him to crack on with self isolation and you'll see him in 14 days

Yep, I’ve got one too. Desperately taking his temperature so that he can prove it along with his stuffy nose and headache. Was convinced that thermometer was faulty so bought a new one. Still no temperature. Wandering around the house with tissues while working from home.
I suggested I go to b and q and buy some paint in case we get locked in for two weeks.
