Dr Google told me as I was no longer feverish light exercise should be ok and may even help improve breathing. So I took Mr Woof to the end of the block and back. That was not a great idea, I'm now exhausted.

I have ordered some RATs that cover covid and flu that should arrive today. Hopefully I will then have something to officially blame. Unspecified plague is just unsatisfying. I did do a covid RAT on Sunday which was negative, but I think it is time for a second opinion.

I copped something in November that was neither flu no covid but packed the punch of both so there's deffo some nasty nondescript stuff there.

There has been a lot of stuff going around at work, so it could be anything. If I get another covid negative I can at least absolve my brother in law from blame (he had covid at christmas, right at the very edge of transmission timeframe but still possible). It would also mean I could stay in the never-had-covid club.

I'm a week out from coming down with flu-A. Broke the fever in about three days but am still pretty breathless and I went to bed at 7:30 last night!
