    Thanks Tomski and Shyaku,
    Still regular fevers and lethargy here - for a few days whenever I do exercise and for the past ten days after my kids had croup - I had no other symptoms. I guess my immune system is on a hair trigger.

    It's pretty unpleasant but there are clearly people who are a lot worse off. One of my wife's young GP friends has myocarditis - inflammation of the heart muscle - and is unable to walk more than 50 meters without breathlessness 5 months after first being ill.

    Unlike Hannah Davis, at the twitter link, my cognitive function, seems to have largely recovered, thank goodness. Still have the wrong word coming out a few times a day but I thought I was dementing in the spring when I couldn't find even basic words.

    It's educational for me to be a patient.

    Occupational health say only a few people like me in the organisation so I would guess incidence .5% though other reports higher.

    Cheers,
    dan
