“Today’s been a weird one, kinda knew I had contracted it but actually hearing the word ‘positive’ threw me a little.
“I know I’ve been quieter on social media recently but I’ve felt like absolute rubbish.
“Never had any form of flu before so I’m not handling it well. Never slept so much.

“Just wanna say that I am ok, just feels like a really bad cold.
“So I’m one of the lucky ones. Wanna spread awareness. My first symptoms were complete loss of taste and smell, and then felt like I had sinusitis, I think these symptoms need to be taken way more seriously.
“I had no cough or fever at first, and still have no cough now.
“Stay safe and well everyone.
“Netflix recommendations welcome, it’s gonna be a long week for me.”
