Justiceforcedave Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Many toilet trips for myself and Mrs Justiceforcedave since the festival. Suspect it may have been a missing sanitisation moment (pre-food, not post-bog). It has not been a pleasant ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Full aches and shakes on Tuesday, but has now merely manifested into a head cold. Think I'm among the lucky ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used our own sanitiser but I’m sure the gloop is equally as good. After a leakage incident in my pocket once, and the fact that the provided stuff seems to always be available now, I've just gone onto using that.

JackP1994 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Starting to feel worse before I get better it seems. Had a sore throat since Sunday, been snotty the last day or so and woke up with horrendous aches this morning. Covid test is negative so I’ve not caught that. Seems to be a lot of different stuff going around this year. Not helping my Glasto blues either 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been ill since with classic cold symptoms, runny nose, sore throat, bad head, chills. Checked for COVID earlier after reading this thread and negative, so just a combination of a cold and being very run down. You may still have Covid, my other half tested positive, I tested negative but we have the exact same symptoms. I've always been negative on antigen tests, it was only ever back when you had to do PCR tests after travelling that I have ever showed up positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go looking for it around the long drops but when it's really busy they are hard to find I dunno. Aren't the urinals often a metal fence with a blue tarp or whatever inside, whereas they currently fasten to the side of the long drops which are a fixed and solid structure. I only ever saw the sanitiser a few feet away from the urinals and they always had some available amongst the set of dispensers, plus queue. Indeed there was often fairly easy access to a tap in several of those places - even in really high traffic areas like the ones near San Remo at the bottom of Woodsies hill.

Penrhos Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I always take my own sanitiser - the free stuff is a bit sticky and dries my hands out... I've avoided the shits/vomiting somehow. and only had "night terrors" Monday night. so apart from covid I feel I got off lightly for being overweight and unfit.

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Complete absence of heebie-jeebies this year. Usually spend Monday night in a heated battle with all manner of malevolent shapes and shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food poisoning seems to be a theme, mind. There were a lot of people who said one of the food stalls at Download was shut down due to it giving a lot of people the shits.

I tested negative for covid last Saturday, then last Sunday did another test and got a positive (along with one I did yesterday). So might be something to keep an eye on just in case you think it's something to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Same deal for me, I'm basically telling everyone who tested negative when they got home to test again in a couple of days. I'd been crappy for 4 days before the test showed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Db79 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I usually have dodgy guts that has meant having to exit sets through dense crowds, and this year employed a new strategy. Only eat food that comes with a fork (so no burgers/burritos etc) and antibac wipe my phone each day. Worked a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monday Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Was absolutely rotten last year. Sweating, shivering. Cough. Blocked Nose. Vomiting. Had to take my car to an MOT as well and it was a waiting appointment so sat on the wall outside and thought I was dying. Booked it in before this year. And managed to avoid all sickness. Took vitamins this year and a nose spray so hopefully that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got asked to remove it- I asked them if they were sure as I was coughing with confirmed covid- they said just briefly and then warned it was at their own risk. Took appropriate steps- but not letting it stop me screwing over the Tories 😷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipine Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 My sore throat has morphed into feeling too poorly to be at work today so I’m off sick… still negative for covid but it sounds just like what others with covid have got so maybe the test just isn’t picking it up.
