Melon Donkey
I am a little bit perplexed
Not sure it does bring anything new? Many ages are getting the virus, just - unless anyone has evidence to the contrary, I'm open to all arguments and stats - it is the old, infirm, or people with underlying health issues dying from it. As happens with viruses, flu and pneumonia.
Saw the inflated headlines on this in The Sun as i passed the petrol station news stand .
This is exactly the thing that is unhelpful and over blown causing panic.
Of course a new born baby can contract it. They haven't got some different immune system to everyone else .It may just present differently . Likewise in older kids.
Not everyone one will present the symptoms according to the script. When a cold goes through our house I very rarely sneeze , Mrs Melon will be sneezing every 5 seconds , I often get an upset stomach when a cold goes through our house , no one else does. Just one of those individual quirky things
There will be thousands upon thousands of people walking around with this and either not knowing or passing it off as one of those minor winter colds.
I had a headache, very very mild aches, sore throat for 2 or 3 days this week. Still went to work, didnt self isolate because I didnt present with THE symptoms as per NHS advice.
Who knows maybe I had it .
