Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I am making progress at feeling better, I've mostly progressed past the sore throat and onto having no voice.

One of my kids said "did you know, if you don't go outside every day you die?"

I've hardly been outside since I started feeling unwell about last Friday so maybe that was my issue.

Did you know 100% of people who drink water will die?

Hope it resolves soon :)

[–] Dave 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't know that. Statistically only about 99.99999999999999% of people who drank water have died. There's a chance.

[–] eagleeyedtiger 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t know sounds risky, better not drink water

Yeah kid makes a good point, you're probably a dead/zombie already. Trading in icecream for brains is the only way forward.

[–] Dave 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But I ate all the ice cream! My throat was sore!

[–] liv 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's okay, there must be other ways to get a fresh brain or two. From certain comments I have received, I get the impression it is possible to grow them...

Seriously this cold you have seems really long and unpleasant, I hope you get better soon.

Glad to hear it; may the rest of your recovery be speedy.

Oh no take care. Covid right? It took me a month to recover completely from covid last year. Even walking up hill for a minute or so and I was completely out of breath.

[–] Dave 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A few weeks back we had COVID in the house but I never tested positive though I wasn't feeling the best.

But this is something new, I was really unwell over last weekend, super sore throat and spent most of the weekend sleeping. Again, never tested positive for COVID. So maybe, maybe not, hard to know. It could have been flu or a really bad cold.

[–] sylverstream 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah lots of other viruses going round. Take care!
