I'm convinced that this new Covid variant Kraken is what we've had.....and @Clive has been very ill back there with the exact same symptoms as us.
@Sir Fallsalot has also been very ill as well......though I'm not sure what symptoms he had.
It has been confirmed as circulating here in Spain and to make matters worse it doesn't seem to be showing up conclusively as Covid on tests.....so nobody can be absolutely sure.
But I've had plenty of bouts of normal flu over the years......so I know what that's like.
And none of them made me so ill that I had to attend the Urgency Dept like I did this time. Which makes me think it's Kraken!
