No, stupidly I haven't. I would recommend others to. |  |

It is somewhere I always thought of as having pretty good defences against disease, both in terms of good healthcare and a dispersed population making contagion less likely. |  |

Have to say, I've seen very little covid recently. Clearly it's not going away. |  |

I had a horrible experience a couple of years ago, in Albania. Got food poisoning and started throwing up in the night. The hotel was not 24 hour manned and nothing was open. I had no water to drink as tap water was not recommended for drinking and I had forgotten to buy bottled. Throwing up throughout the night, with nothing to rinse your mouth with, is not nice. |  |

Thanks Ryorry. When I woke up, despite no chest pains, I honestly thought I might be having a heart attack, the cold sweating was that bad. My bedding was drenched and I felt dreadful. I soon realised that I had a fever, which thankfully stopped me embarrassing myself and calling my colleagues. |  |

Never be afraid to call; I'm sure they'd not have minded & said you did the right thing. |  |

Of course. It was just my initial fear when I woke up. |  |

We were in a hytte which was not great fun. A friend of mine, who worked in a lab in Norway, managed to delay it for a bit using low dose arsenic tablets but as soon as they ran out, the bug fully hit him too. [Post edited 3 Nov 2024 13:33]

Me too. Had them both the other week. Vaccinations only cover a percentage of the viruses out there, but I’ll take any reduction in risk. I’ve had covid once a few years back and that was enough. I felt alright, but energy levels were reduced to zero. So tired and it took days to feel more normal and weeks before I felt 100% again. No nice - my sympathies to anyone who gets it. |  | |  |

No. In my job it would mean wearing a mask every day for the last 4 years, which is not feasible. I do insist on all my patients who present with acute respiratory problems, wear a mask until Covid and flu are ruled out. |  |

How can you tell if they're wearing masks? |  |

Easy. They'll have a piece of material over their mouth and nose. |  |
