Both flu and covid are alike in that they effect people in a variety of different ways, and with a level of immunity, either natural or via vaccine (and flu vaccines are pretty common) they can reduce the symptoms down to that of a nasty cold.

Even different strains can affect you in different ways. Between April 2022 and May 2023 I had a horrible run of picking up covid and 5 different cold/flu bugs, and they all affected me with different issues and different levels of severity. The April '22 strain of covid was really bad - was basically bed bound for 2 weeks and had the worst sore throat I've ever had, while a January 2023 flu I got while out on my birthday was similarly horrible.

 

It's just annoying as much as anything.

In  and e … just been brought in by ambo … was showing some stroke signs so mates got me to call ambulance … I’ve been checked and they think it’s bells pausey . Back in waiting room now after assessment . No idea the wait … hopefully Itll be a few hours max and I can continue packing . Face might be a bit dropped during the fest though 

Oh sh*t I'm sorry that sounds horrible. Fingers crossed for the best recovery possible.

I guess we'll bring this up just in case anyone brings a festival lurgy back with them.

 

Saying that, I feel like I caught some kind of bug from Foos in Cardiff. Throat yesterday felt rotten. Tested negative for the rona, but not ideal either, particularly as it's super hot in my house.

Sorry to hear anyone is not feeling great at the festival.  Any problems I ever had were self-inflicted, sun-inflicted or sciatica. I hope you all feel better soon. 

 

Happy to be watching ont'elly in Ireland.

Now coming down with cold symptoms- not surprised as there were a lot of people coughing around me all festival (not sure if that was because of the dust or if they were unwell or both).

My body is also reminding me that I’m now in my fifties and sleeping in a tent and walking miles each day, comes with consequences 😆

Loved being at the festival though and will have some quality time on my sofa today and think about that amazing weekend.

Tomorrow back off the sofa and off to see AC/DC 🤘

Fair play to this guy who felt unwell, went to the medical tent, who confirmed he was having a heart attack and got him sorted out while the ambulance came, went off to hospital and...

 

... CAME BACK TO THE FESTIVAL

Test again tomorrow, I felt shite for 2 days and tested negative, did one more when I was still crap on the 4th day and was testing positive for the next 5.  As luck would have it I was part of the ONS testing study group so had a bunch of tests lying around.

Not far removed than me then. Tested negative after feeling crap for 3 days, then on day 4, got the dreaded double lines.

Husband has tested positive for Covid today. I am negative but during the festival I was coughing loads. Wondering now if I may have caught it early in the festival and be coming out the other side/no longer testing positive by now. That’s the hope at least as I am meant to be going to Janelle Monae on Thursday.

I haven't done a COVID test, but I've definitely come back with something. Glad I have a few days before returning to work to try and shake it off. Sore throat and coughing, some sneezing too. 

 

Seemed to escape free of illness after last year's festival, but did catch COVID in 2022. I remember feeling worse than I do now after that year

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
