Stopping testing doesn't make it go away nor does it stop you suffering when you do get it Particularly as we have visitors scheduled for this weekend. Now postponed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same when I had covid but then I did think what if I have an accident or breakdown, sods law it would happen to me so I did the same kept testing till negative annoying I know but the garden looks better for it I spent my time on that rather than the bike. I'll have some amazing begonias in May, sad I know 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying home until you're better is how you treat a common cold. But remember, things like measles, mumps, or rubella all present with cold like symptoms, fevers etc. Before the vaccines for these things existed, getting what looked like a cold meant you could be in big trouble. So when you say "before we lost the ability to think for ourselves", there's a bit of irony there. As for decades now, we haven't had to think, if it looked like a cold it was. That's no longer the case. I wouldn't ride if I had the option if feeling ill with a cold. Same with covid, you're not going to be as sharp to respond to things. Especially given the deterioration I've seen in peoples ability to drive after lockdowns. Edited March 29, 2022 by Fozzie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy sugger Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Nothing worse than coughing or sneezing while wearing a crash helmet.

Old-codger Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Once while doing an enduro in very hot conditions I crashed and as I lay there I threw up before I could get my helmet off. During a break I washed the helmet out and stuck my head under a tap but the helmet did stink for ages. Oh the fun I had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
