My brain is mush, so hope that you never need to decide whether too turn off the life support for a loved one or!  :'(

He decided the A_Vs wouldn't do any good as have to start them within 5 days of first symptoms, which would have been a faint tickle last weekend.
I was told same thing... i asked him how many know they need the treatment after 5 days - not many he said...

Here's an interesting one for all f you to keep in the back of your mind.

As I was getting worse on Wednesday, I tried to talk to my GP about the anti-viral medicines that are recommended in some cases, but he'd gone home for the day!

He rang me Thursday morning & we spoke (OK he spoke, I croaked ::)) about it. He decided the A_Vs wouldn't do any good as have to start them within 5 days of first symptoms, which would have been a faint tickle last weekend.

However, he did say get some Telfast 180 & use them, as they have been shown to help relieve symptoms ! Suppose it does make sense, as helping against hay fever etc must help clear your breathing & so on.

So try them! For a $few certainly can't make things any worse!

My first experience with Covid points to around 48 hours incubation in which time you could most likely pass it on. Post lockdown we drove from Adelaide to the Dandenongs in Melbourne for a niece's outdoor wedding on a Saturday afternoon whereas later that evening reception and celebrations were indoors as well. Most of the wedding party and guests were to come down with Covid as a result. The bride groom and extended families met again for Sunday BBQ lunch before we retired to accommodation to set out for Adelaide on the Monday. Approaching Adelaide late afternoon I was feeling a ticklish sore throat and would wake up Tuesday morning feeling like crap with all the common symptoms and test positive.

Anyone else pin Covid infection down to around 48 hours like that?

My 100yo mother was among a few cases in her aged care home a week or so ago.
There were quick to get her on medication and apart from a husky voice she didn’t seem much affected by it.
Fine after a week.
Good to hear at her age it would be concerning..

Must admit, I'm sweating my balls off today, but once we're acclimatized, I'm sure it'll be good

So which part of the Sunnie State have you moved in to, Drew ???

and once I've worked out how to minimise the cane toad entry into our yard - we didn't realise those bastatds were in the suburbs, and don't want the dog making friends with too many of them

Unfortunately, they're everywhere :'( >:(

We used to have lots, but I started working on the theory of killing every one of them we spotted in our yard, & they're now a rarity here! 8)
