Apologies for the lack of new articles on Vox Political over the last few days. Yr Obdt Srvt (that’s me) caught the flu from somebody – presumably on New Year’s Eve – and it hit me hard.
To give you a – publishable – idea of the effect it has had: since the beginning of Friday (January 3) I have lost one and a half stones (21lb) in weight.
And I haven’t had the strength to do anything.
Of course I did do the responsible thing, which was to isolate myself the instant I showed symptoms. I would like to take this opportunity to urge anybody who starts to cough for no apparent reason (that was the first sign for me – next thing I knew I had a raging fever). I would urge anybody noticing symptoms to do the same thing (but buy lots of chicken soup first – it’ll probably be the only stuff you can keep down, along with bread).
I’m feeling a little better today so hopefully things are moving in the right direction and I’ll be able to get back to work either before the end of this week or the beginning of the next.
