Sounds the same as what I had at the end of November. Lots of nasty shit floating about at the moment.
From what I’ve read, the general hypothesis is that we’ve all got less effective immune systems from not being exposed to these kinds of viruses for a couple years due to covid social restrictions, so more people and getting ‘more’ ill and transmitting viruses. I guess in pre-covid times, our immune systems, having more frequent exposure to these viruses, were able to be quicker on the uptake of defence; being able to stop the virus at the stage it causes a small cough, before it gets to the multiple day head-exploding congestion-fest. So hypothetically, it shouldn’t be as bad next year?

I started with a fever on Saturday night and it's floored me and although the shivering has mostly stopped I'm still sweating constantly and bloody freezing all the time. Congestion started yesterday. Coughing but not much. Haven't felt this fooked in a very long time
