'Not Covid' lurgy leaving Mancunians 'floored' and worse than when they had the virus
People across Manchester say they've been floored by a winter lurgy that's made them feel worse than when they had Covid.
Some have said it's left them 'bed-bound' for a fortnight, with symptoms including a cough, temperature and feeling achy and lethargic.Responding to a post on our Manchester Family Facebook page, we were inundated with responses from people, many of whom have 'been bad for weeks'. "Absolutely awful, I was in bed almost a full week with it, knocked me right off my feet still not 100 percent," said Sally Fisher.
Clur Rosbottom said: "I had it for 3 1/2 weeks and it was worse than when I had Covid last Christmas."
