I am now 6 days into this dreadful virus and it's not very nice at all, however I feel I'm on the other side now - I'm breathing easier, my taste/smell have returned and feeling somewhat brighter....do not underestimate this virus....
Oh dear, very sorry to hear you’ve been so unwell but glad to see you’ve turned a corner. My experience having it was not as bad as yours thankfully. My wifes hospital is struggling at the moment but will cope if things don’t get much worse. I really hope these vaccines get us out of this.
all the best to your wife old friend!
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Thankyou...

It's really been plenty of rest along with lots of hot liquids. I've hardly eaten for 3 days but am managing to eat now....losing complete strength was worrying but that has in time returned.....
my brother has had it since oct. 7th. feeling much better (but only lately) but still not has 90% of his taste/smell back. covid is a bitch and i hope to stay clear.
Get well soon Knopflerfan!

Evening all,

Thanks for all of the good wishes - best MK forum by far!!!
It's now been two weeks and I'm feeling much better although far from being 'out of the woods' yet.
My breathing for the first 4-5 days was awful - likened to breathing hot flames and losing the senses of smell and taste was awful. Ive never been so scared to be honest...
Thankfully they have returned. Breathing wise I am now on a steroid inhaler twice a day although hopefully I'll wean off of that....
I get very tired, although I'm able to walk with my wife around 5 miles a day but then that's my lot...

I have been most certainly helped by listening to MK over my isolating and even picked up the MK Strat to console myself! Oh how MK music lifts your spirits!!!
I managed to win 6x MK Promo singles for my collection from a local chap who after I won them dropped them to my home so I could listen to them asap! Fantastic eh?!

I think losing 5 stone in weight over a year ago almost certainly saved my life....

Best wishes to all in these strange times
KF

We have only one government to consider not 27 different countries!   Also we were much more agile in signing up to the vaccine - three months before the EU!  We paid for the development of AZ and paid for it up front.

Actually the 27 different countries are under one same wing, the UE, who is buying for all the countries at the same price and distributing it equally, otherwise, if every country had gone by himself, one or two countries with more economical power would buy most of the vaccines and the rest will have less or none. If it wasn't because of this, Spain, Portugal or Greece wouldn't had the number of vaccines we have...

Good for you, my British friends. Val, I hope Colin and you got it alredy!
