Years ago I had a job translating Classical Greek literature into Braille. It feels like ancient history now…

"Do not touch" in Braille?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

There was this guy who was so near-sighted that he recognized girls by the Braille method.

Does he give classes in that ?

Dot's one way of looking at it, but it's really a Hellenic of a way to put it.

Significant weight loss guaranteed, or your virus back!
Noticed today that my fingers looked thinner than normal, and my wedding ring slid off very easily.
So, I weighed myself. Last time I did that was 24th April (before I got this) and I registered as 74.4Kg. Today ... 69.5Kg - Five kilos in under two weeks.
So far rapid weight loss you can see, get all your mates together and go have a barbie until you catch it.
What makes me laugh is that brings my BMI down to 22.7, which the means to NHS is describing me as "Healthy". 
How am I doing? Not well - today's Surprise symptom is "Thick, solid, dark brown mucus" which if it continues is going to need a call to the doctor, as it's probably blood, and that's a bad sign.
O did manage to eat three small "biscuits-for-cheese" last night and kept them down, but nothing today, and it's been a week without coffee and that's not helping at all.

Yeah, clotting in the lungs is definitely a thing with Covid-19. You or Herself start having any trouble breathing, don't wait. GO! My Mrs. is slowly getting over her blood clots.

This is not a healthy way to lose weight! Keep getting better. We need you healthy and well here in the Lounge! Same wishes for a speedy recovery to your better half! ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Get better soon Griff!

Rapid weight loss like that is usually fluids. Dehydration, all on its own, can cause a lot of bad feelings (think: hangover).
I, and most of us, must keep looking over our shoulder as we are still the game in Covid's hunt.
For you and your Mrs., a wish for better days to come.

Good to hear from you.
As Balboos said; hydration. Water and salts, which is why I recommended broth. Any "sports" type energy drink would do.
And just call the doctor - don't wait. Better to call once too often than once too late

Without coffee for a week, then it must be serious !
My thoughts are with you

I decaffeinate myself about once/year - but I taper off over a period of 8-10 days. For the purposes of this, had I not decaffeinated I'd suffer a most distressing headache. It could readily compound other symptoms from other causes.
