It's official.

Yours truly, Anthony Gonsalvez has got it too. I knew it was only a matter of time once my colleagues got it, no matter what the precautions. Cold & Flu is a b and remains dormant for a while before it hits you like a freight train.

I was completely fine until yesterday afternoon. My voice felt heavier like I was channeling Mr. Amitabh Bachhan through me or something. Started getting this tingling feeling in my throat and starting coughing a bit in the night.

Come morning & feel weak as hell. Cold air doesn't feel great which is signaling that I may have fever. Although, body doesn't feel hot. & Yeah, dry cough and splitting headache along with blocked nose.

Ate a Pandol and took some cough syrup at lunch. Sweated like a pig about to be slaughtered but the weakness in my body is gone for now. Headache & blocked nose remains

My question to those who said they faced something similar :

Do i go to the doc. or just tough it out with OTC medication ? FYI, I hate medicines and don't want to take antibiotics for no reason if it's a viral thing.

Advice needed.

About 2 weeks ago, my manager got fever out of nowhere and started coughing (dry cough) constantly. OTC medicine didn't work and he had to see a Doc. & get prescription antibiotics and cough syrup.
Fast forward to today, a few of my colleagues called in sick with similar symptoms. At first I thought it was a joke, but turns out it's same type of symptoms although they were mostly fine yesterday.
I remember a client postponed a meeting last week also mentioning a case of flu.
Is this a weather thing or something else ?

My friend had a document from the bank arrive for him through EMX but was refused delivery due to his Emirates ID being expired.
For context, his ID expired 2 weeks ago & is in process of renewal. Now, the bank knows about Id expiry due to periodic kyc & still issues this document to be sent to him based on a request made couple of days ago. EMX is just a delivery middleman. Yet they refuse handing over what the sender sent to the correct recipient with ID albeit expired & despite other proof (Passport/Driver's License) being readily made available.

Anyone else ever have to face a similar issue ?

How many of you, don't drink alcohol but still visited a bar on their 21st birthday ?

I wanted to visit to experience what the fuss is all about, & you don't get to be 21 years old again in life. Ended up trying a can of beer. Hated the taste & didn't get high whatsoever.
