Hands up if anyone’s got one after standing in the rain afterwards on Thursday?
Hands in the air! I'd only just recovered from covid just before Thursday's game and got completely soaked walking back to the coach park, partly dried off on the journey home, only to get re-soaked walking back home.

I've got the sniffles this morning, the c word had better not be back!

Thought it was a cold. Just took a Covid test and it's positive.

(Probably from the plane I was on the day before but you never know.)

A bit sniffly when I got up this morning, but that might have just been the aftermath of last night’s cocktails.
ParkRun seems to have seen it off now, though.

Fair bit of covid knocking around. Would not be surprised if a few inadvertently passed it around on Thursday evening.

Nothing to do with the weather- its an urban myth


Can you catch a cold from being cold and wet?


Wet hair in a cold environment can make you feel cold and uncomfortable. But it will not give you a cold. Viruses transmitted through bodily fluids cause colds, influenza and COVID-19. You need to come into contact with the fluids to be infected by the viruses.

I'm so tough it didn't bother me one bit.

That and waiting in the concourse for a bit until it stopped.

Thank you Dr. Nick.

It’ll be the 5,000 people rammed into the train carriage then.

Big butch me! Got drenched waiting for the train to Brighton. Sat in a car all the way back to Southampton arriving at 1.15. The only thing that was dry were me ‘nads! Decent night’s kip did the trick so I’m raring to go for Sunday! :drink:

This.

Any correlation is more to do with inclement weather leading people to gather inside and therefore spread the virus.

Obvs, 30,000+ people under one roof doesn't help and the trains are even worse.

Yeah me, had to cancel my plans this weekend. Gutted as the weather looks amazing for this time of year.
The weather is lovely here in Corfu. Great time of the year to be abroad

NO A cold is a transmitted infection. What you may have by standing in the rain is a chill.

But in Jane Austen's books, they always seemed to go down with long illnesses after being out in the rain!

The most curious thing..

That was mostly typhoid and cholera
