Default I was in coral bookies shop 4 hours ago...

I strides in healthy, chirpy as my usual self.

I was in for half an hour listening to young woman doing the commentary over the speakers...her sniffling away inbetween races..suffering from the flu...


Well it's four hours later and I'm back home feeling like ****e, sniffing away and shivering..


Now I'm not claiming the viruses have learned to spread via bookie tannoys....but there was nobody else in the shop.

Usually with illnesses, you catch them a few days before you get any symptoms. Someone did give you the lurgy somehow, but not tannoy woman..hope you feel better soon, just got over a raging cold myself that I described as flu and was shot down because if it was flu I wouldnt have even been able to get out of bed..

Bookies are just filthy Parm I used to get ill constantly until I started regularly using hand sanitiser. If it had air conditioning, that doesn't help either. Blows germs all round the shop.

The flu effects a man more than a woman. It's a known fact.

Man flu is much worse than giving birth, I'd imagine.

Funnily enough the air conditioning was off. ..I usually stand directly under it cause I'm so hot..


I seriously think I've caught it off the commentator..or her sniffles have weakened my immune system somehow..tin hat me all you want..but that's what I believe.

More the sound of her sniffles tricking my immune system now though, rather than the virus coming through the tannoys.

Most people feel sick after leaving the bookies, after coming out skint.

Next you will be telling us you got pregnant from holding a baby.

Do shape up.

i think anyone that had a sniffle in the last 9 months thinks they had covid ... maybe some did, but even if they did their immunity has probably disappeared long ago
