Take it from someone whose had it-take it easy for a week after you are feeling better. We almost relapsed the fatigue from trying too soon to get on with life. So glad you are both recovering!❤️
Glad to see you both appear on the mend. This for me is a timely video. My brother-in-law contracted COVID last week and appeared to be on the road to recovery when his temperature dropped to 39 degrees C yesterday. Today he is in hospital on a respirator and the outlook isn’t good. Asking for everyone to pray for him.
So sorry to hear that you caught the virus. The way that you felt when you were in the bed... that weakness and exhaustion...it's my life everyday with chronic illness. Hope you are both on the mend soon. 💗
It is hard to know where you got covid from. You could have been around someone 1-13 days prior to getting symptons. The main thing is you are on the mend. Take care of yourselves.
True Carrie, we will never know for sure. But the Brighton day out was full of people so that's my guess. Obviously if I could turn back time we wouldn't have gone to the shops x
I found out I had The rona on Halloween, the incubation period is 7-14 days. I know exactly where I got it, and so did 32 other people I know got it as well. 7days before we were all together. Stupid move, but it happened. Chin up buttercup . If we could all go back and do like over.
I wouldn’t worry about where you got it. You’ve contacted everyone and that’s all you can do and get better. ❤️ A lot of us are simply ready to go back to normal life and don’t think of it as foolish. If you leave your house at all, crowded or not, eating out or not, you’re still likely to get it, so best not to worry and just do everything you can to try to keep you and your loved ones as safe as possible. Glad you’re doing much better! ❤️
@@liahatz Sure you know by now loss of taste/smell is a major sign of Covid-19. Being female is a good sign for you as if you look at world wide stats for Covid-19 its roughly 40% female and 60% male catching the virus. We have a few theories on why women are LESS susceptible to the virus. Human's are born with two chromosomes with males have xx and females having xy chromosome. With males having two identical xx if one goes bad we do not have a backup. Say one starts dev cancer or something bad in general happens at the molecular level the female has backup dna strand with the extra x chromosome. This is not simple conjecture but one of the leading principles in why women outlive men in general. In America females used to outlive men by 7 yr average but has come down in last few yrs to about 5 yrs today. We have known for quite some time the female fights infection better than the male (not always) so we think we know the answer. Btw, anyone around the world reading this i highly recommend a Covid-19 website to you called MedCram on RUclips. The doctor doing the presentations is the leading lung specialist in the world out of California. I will warn you right now he does NOT dumb this down for the general public and is apolitical. He started back in March and we can see the progression that science makes in knowledge till today's vaccines announcements by Moderna and Pfizer. There are about 50-60 hrs on here and he labels them so you can narrow your interest down. Say, you are interested in what the top doctor in the world takes in vitamins and supplements he tells you. He goes into GREAT detail how a ventilator works and even how your blood type can HELP or HURT you with Covid-19. Short answer is if you are 0- blood type you have an average 40% LESS chance of catching and dying from Covid-19. Readers of his website have known of blood types since March 2020 and now 3 other peer reviewed sites have confirmed it.(you can still die from it folks with 0-) The worst blood type is AB+ but they are only 9% of population. He educates us on what being A- or A+,B-,B+,O-,O+ blood type means. The A+ or B+ are antigens that lock onto to the covid-19 protein and enters the cell. Note that O- blood has ZERO antigens so nothing for the virus to lock onto. When someone tells you your A+ when you get you blood tested that means you have the A antigen. Same with B+, you have the B antigen. Blood type O- has zero antigens and why 0- blood type are the UNIVERSAL giver of blood to anyone as the other persons body will NOT reject the blood. This can kill you quickly getting the wrong blood type folks. My point to this long diatribe is to teach people to learn on their own about Covid-19 and DO NOT RELY on BS politicians and friends. Do the work yourself and it will be time consuming. In closing i was a college biology major and i only understand about 75% of the good doctor but if i don't understand something look it up...especially his drugs. Good luck.
@@liahatz I'm so sorry.No offense,I'm not sure whether there might be a tiny grammar flaw you made. If I had turned back time,I wouldn't have gone to the shop X. God bless you. I've been watching your videos for millions of years,which are exceedingly fun.Hoping that you will get through the virus ASAP.And you will be as fit as a fiddle.
Get better you guys!! Love you both. The world is so exciting with Lia and Ach in it. Thanks so much for your videos. I enjoy them so much, especially when things get really stressful in life. Again stay well and carry on my kids!! Lol ☺️☺️☺️
I'm so sorry, Lia. I'm just glad you're okay. It's also good to see while you've lost taste and smell, you both still retain your sense of humor. That's so important, I think, for your mental health. Love to see you smile through it all. Praying for you both! Love you and all your channels!
I'm delighted to hear you and Ach are doing better. I just got tested today per physician request prior to sleep test. According to the technician who did my test there's no prior requirements nor restrictions prior to testing. Hang in there guys! You're almost done with the lockdown 👍🏾
Honestly, praying for a speedy recovery, but please just try and look at it this way instead of beating yourself up - you now have antibodies for the virus and are helping increase overall herd immunity, which is incredibly important. Get well soon! 💙
Lia, You and Ach are going to be just fine. Have faith. This will be a time of your lives that you tell your children and grandchildren about. Be still with each other and let yourselves recuperate.
I work retail and my store’s fitting rooms are closed. People still try on clothes on the sales floor and we tell them trying on isn’t allowed any time we see it happening. Customers get very upset and annoyed with us, but the whole point of fitting rooms being closed is to stop people from trying on altogether for this very reason. Hope you two continue getting better! ❤️
Hi Lia and Ach!! So sorry to hear you two have got covid but glad to see you were trying to joke around to make life more bearable. Cheer up, get rest and eat well!! Wish you a speedy recovery!! Sending lots of love from Hong Kong!! xxxxxx (kisses for both of you)
Bless...poor babies. Be strong you two, this too shall pass. I can't imagine what you're going through but can promise our thoughts and prayers are definitely with you. Feel better soon, I have coworkers who went through covid and are back at work after a few weeks, so I know you may feel down, but you are not out!! Prayers for you both.🙏
Glad to hear you're on the mend, stay positive! We can't live in a bubble, people are going to buy clothes and shop. You didn't do anything wrong. Just living life, and sometimes these things happen. You will be okay! :-)
I got Covid in July. Couldn’t taste or smell a thing, but I started to get it back after 2 weeks 🙂. When you get it back, it will be slow, but SO exciting once you realize you can taste things again haha. Hope you feel better very soon!
I hope you both start to feel better soon. I've had it twice now; once back in March and now once again last month. It's just Ugh! This year just sucks and I'm sure we all can agree on that! Let's pray next year will be SO much better! Once again wishing you both well!
Thank you Lia for owning up to the fact that going out and living more normally right now wasn't the best idea. Hopefully viewers, especially those who are in parts of the US where cases are surging yet there are no lockdowns will see this and think twice. Really appreciate it.
If anything this proves the opposite a virus with a 99.97 survival rate means lets get back to normal not hide in our homes or we will never get past this the quicker we get back to normal the better imo
Lia, I saw your health news on Joel's vlog. Can I say, you are my first friend with the virus? I feel fortunate that it hasn't affected my circle. It's different to hear that Tom Hanks or other celebrities contracted it, but you are the first person I KNOW who has it. I'm sorry you feel so terrible, but I'm so glad you are able to be comfortable at home with your boyfriend and lots of good if not tasty food to eat. I wish you and Ach a speedy recovery. Best wishes.
Take care of yourselves. I work on both the PPE (protective equipment) and the vaccine and vaccine delivery side of COVID-19. You have my every empathy -- I love your clips, particularly loved your making proper tea video. May you heal very soon.
Hi Lia hope both of you are doing well and feeling better. My wife and I have been watching for a couple years now. I set my smart TV to watch one of your channels at least once a week for the whole day. Have to make sure my dogs know who you guys are. Be well God bless Gregory and Lisa Roberts
I'm glad you are getting better. I've heard similar things from nurses in the US saying that it is a mistake to take the test at face value especially if you've been in contact with someone who is a confirmed case. So apparently a lot of jobs here have changed their quarantine requirements. A while ago, a lot of places required everyone to quarantine for 2 weeks after coming in contact with someone that has it, but this is very difficult to accommodate because lots of work cannot be accomplished from home. Now they only require negative test results. But the health care workers are reporting that many people who come in contact or have a few symptoms, tested negative initially, returned to work, symptoms worsened, and then they tested positive.... after exposing their entire work place to the virus. So...hopefully we'll come up with better processes as we get more data. Idk
You can be symptom free up to 14 days... It is hard to know from community spread. I had it in February lost taste and smell too... I will never take taste for granted again! Hope you two the best get well and take care ❤
Hi Lia: I really hope you are getting better. I have a little advice on when you are out in public. I NEVER use the public hand sanitizer pumps - if it is not electric where it squirts it out in your hand I don't touch it. Also, I always carry my own with me so each time I leave the store I clean my hands. Additionally, I notice you touching your mask and your hair while out. I know it's difficult but I always make a very deliberate effort to not touch my hair or anything near my face when I am out until I can actually wash my hands with soap and water. I am someone who is constantly touching my face and hair so I had to train myself. To be safe it's better to just wear your hair back so no need to go anywhere near your face. Like the last commenter said - you could have gotten it from anywhere, but additionally, when out it's best to change your clothes when you get back home to inside clothes only. Again, you seem to be on the mend so just keep resting.
You know those thin white cotton gloves people wear at night after putting lotion on their hands in the winter? I wear these when out at the grocery store. So much better than vinyl gloves. I take them off once back in the car and use an anti bacterial wipe on my hands for good measure, Then I wash the cotton gloves and reuse them.
Hey Lia, hope you and your boyfriend feel better soon!!!❤️ That has to suck, not being able to taste anything. Side note: I can’t believe that’s your REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER!?!? I’ve never seen anything like that in the U.S.!!! That’s CRAZY!!! WOODEN DOORS!?!? Freezer is on the bottom!?!? That’s MADNESS!!! You HAVE to do a video showing the inside of your fridge and freezer. I just can’t believe you’re keeping food cold behind those wooden doors. INSANITY!!! Feel better!!! Sending prayers and good vibes your way!!!❤️
My wife was feeling symptoms late in October and got a positive test on October 31. Our household was ordered to quarantine for 14 days of from her symptoms beginning, so essentially November 7th we would be "free" to return to our regular schedule. Everyone else in the house tested negative. I felt the slightest sinus pressure on the last day (November 7th) so we got a precautionary test done again. I tested positive this time, so now I'm quarantined until the 21st and the other two in my house must quarantine for 14 days beyond that. Well, my oldest kid is now running a fever and just got tested again so we're waiting on the results. We are so "done" with this pandemic...I hope you guys continue to heal and wish all the viewers here a safe upcoming holiday season!
So happy that you and Ach are feeling better. This is such a scary time, you just never know where the virus is going to get you. Sounds like you have it pinpointed to your shopping trip. As no fun as it is, I guess we all have to stay away from crowds and people and stay home so we can get rid of this disease. I'm hopeful with good news regarding the vaccines that we will be able to beat it soon. Sending you both love & prayers.
I'm so sorry to hear you are unwell. Healing vibes and prayers to a speedy recovery for you both. ❤️🙏 About clothing. I read materials arnt a source of transmission because of the non-surface aspect. The fomite surfaces are where bacteria and their spores can grow and be picked up. Fomite surfaces are table tops, counters, doorknobs, toilet flusher thingies...all smooth surfaces of that nature and of course direct contact with an infected persons respiratory droplets. I hope that helps in some way. Take care, stay strong, eat healthy and lots of liquids.
Lia, I hate to see that you and Ach are effected by this. I love your demeanor and your attitude! My husband and I are trying to stay home more, but it has been a struggle. We both work from home (not due to COVID, this was established by work prior to the pandemic) my only time away is when I go out to get the groceries. LOL Sending you hugs from North Carolina! :)
In the US we call that kitchen gadget an immersion blender. Also we love to do plain greek yogurt on top of puréed soups (like butternut squash soup). 💕
Take care, I hope you both make a full recovery, my Dear Mum has it and she isolating as am I but I tested negative and so Mum is ok and being monitored by a Nurse at home as given a device to check her pulse and Oxygen levels, so far she's ok and I seem to be ok at present. Sending lots of good wishes and prayers to you two and those suffering with this right now. Xx
On a side note, you make amazing looking food lol Really glad you are both on the mend! My work friend has tested negative twice but was admitted to hospital yesterday & is really quite poorly 😕 Yet his wife tested positive & no symptoms at all. Stay safe people x
Aloha from Hawaii, Lia. I am a scientific researcher who has experience with qPCR analysis, which is the predominant technique used to evaluate whether or not viral genetic information is present in a sample. Sometimes if the patient is infected and tested very early on in the viral development, the signal for presence will either result in an ambiguous report, or a false negative. This could also be due to a number of other factors, including but not limited to your sample simply not having extracted enough of your mucous (or saliva) to result in a definitive and robust Covid-19 report. I hope that you recover quickly and am sending my well wishes to you and Joel!
Uuuuu Maddie fitness is serious stuff. I love watching her. Also, just finished the queens gambit from your recommendation. It was excellent. Feel better!
I really wish that we had gone to lockdown here in the US. We got the worse possible news Sunday morning that my nephews wife had passed from COVID-19. This didn't have to happen.....
Our daughter's best friend Teresa is pregnant. Teresa found out that both her parents, both her brothers, her sister-in-law who is also pregnant, and their toddler ALL tested positive for Covid-19. Everyone is terrified now, and Teresa and her husband have vowed not to see any of them until they're in the clear AND have had vaccines. This virus is extremely dangerous in that it not only attacks your lungs and heart, but it also can leave long term damage, sometimes a person can never get over that damage, and then the suffering is long, slow and painful for the rest of their lives.
It truly is hard to say where you got it! I know for me, I wondered where I got it too. Finally, the health department told me that they are sure they were able to pinpoint my exposure, which helped me mentally, just to know. I hadn't went in public for 5 weeks, with the exception of a restaurant. That restaurant shut down for "security reasons", and later, we found out everyone there tested positive, one of my favorite waiters there died :-( Which is why they were closed. They closed down around the same time that I got sick. It was a long 6 week, still having breathing issues. I never lost my taste, but my taste buds changed. Like everything tasted horrible, and everything smelled like an ash tray almost, or sulphur. Really funky! Luckily, my taste has returned, but, I still have moments where my smell is funky again! Sorry you got it, but, the bright side, at least you got it, and it turned out good!
Where did you get the white t-shirt that you're wearing in this video? Thanks for sharing! Washington state's governor just announced a soft lockdown starting yesterday, because our Covid numbers are higher than in March. So glad to hear you two are "on the mend".
I had Covid in March and my smell and taste comes and goes to this day. You should close your eyes and eat to really see if you can taste. When you see the food your brain tricks you into thinking you have your taste back.
I hope you are both feeling better. My children keep trying to get my husband and I eat crazy things. We can't taste or smell anything. GOD BLESS you all!
About 25 yrs ago I once had a weird cold and my sense of taste was all messed up (basically as you described). Definitely on the right track with the hand blender! ❤️ the Eastenders clip! Was that Rickkkkay???
Sorry to hear this, glad you are on the mends. Where I live it is rampant and just a matter of time before someone in my family gets it. We are doing everything we can to protect ourselves but a majority of the people where I live are ignoring every guideline , still believe it is a hoax, so disgusted with utter stupidity.
I know there's a lot said about hand washing and you can get it from surfaces but most likely you got it through the air. If you were in a shop and if and infected person was in there, even if you both wore a mask, it could get to you. If you had an N95 mask, it would reduce the chances but even that is not 100%. It can even be spread through your eyes I've heard. Get better! Praying for both of you.

Take it from someone whose had it-take it easy for a week after you are feeling better. We almost relapsed the fatigue from trying too soon to get on with life. So glad you are both recovering!❤️
Thanks for the advice. X

You had mentioned going to the gym; that was my first thought when you first told us of being sick. Take care of yourselves and each other.

I hope you both feel better soon. I'm sorry you are going through this, but at least you have each other for support.
Oh. My. Gosh, Lia!!! It’s so terrible!! Glad you’re getting better! Be sooooooo careful in the future. 💖💖💖✨💫

I was in total shock when I heard from Joel's channel that you had the virus. Sending you both prayers, take care!🙏
Praying for you! I hope you are better soon!
I finally got taste and smell back after five weeks. The worst to eat with no taste: scrambled eggs. The consistency was not good. Feel better!!
Glad you and Ach are feeling better! 🙏
Get better soon. I hope you have a fast, speedy recovery from this stuff. Hopefully things will be back to normal on both sides of the pond soon.
Prayers for you both for continuing healing. 🙏
Glad to see you guys are feeling better. I hope you both continue to rest up and feel 100% real soon!
Take care of yourselves. I work on both the PPE (protective equipment) and the vaccine and vaccine delivery side of COVID-19. You have my every empathy -- I love your clips, particularly loved your making proper tea video. May you heal very soon.

I am someone who is constantly touching my face and hair so I had to train myself. To be safe it's better to just wear your hair back so no need to go anywhere near your face. Like the last commenter said - you could have gotten it from anywhere, but additionally, when out it's best to change your clothes when you get back home to inside clothes only. Again, you seem to be on the mend so just keep resting.
You know those thin white cotton gloves people wear at night after putting lotion on their hands in the winter? I wear these when out at the grocery store. So much better than vinyl gloves. I take them off once back in the car and use an anti bacterial wipe on my hands for good measure, Then I wash the cotton gloves and reuse them.
Hey Lia, hope you and your boyfriend feel better soon!!!❤️ That has to suck, not being able to taste anything. Side note: I can’t believe that’s your REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER!?!? I’ve never seen anything like that in the U.S.!!! That’s CRAZY!!! WOODEN DOORS!?!? Freezer is on the bottom!?!? That’s MADNESS!!! You HAVE to do a video showing the inside of your fridge and freezer. I just can’t believe you’re keeping food cold behind those wooden doors. INSANITY!!! Feel better!!! Sending prayers and good vibes your way!!!❤️
Oh really? It’s very normal here to have inbuilt kitchens, it’s hidden; one of them does the dishwasher too x
My wife was feeling symptoms late in October and got a positive test on October 31. Our household was ordered to quarantine for 14 days of from her symptoms beginning, so essentially November 7th we would be "free" to return to our regular schedule. Everyone else in the house tested negative. I felt the slightest sinus pressure on the last day (November 7th) so we got a precautionary test done again. I tested positive this time, so now I'm quarantined until the 21st and the other two in my house must quarantine for 14 days beyond that. Well, my oldest kid is now running a fever and just got tested again so we're waiting on the results. We are so "done" with this pandemic...I hope you guys continue to heal and wish all the viewers here a safe upcoming holiday season!
So happy that you and Ach are feeling better. This is such a scary time, you just never know where the virus is going to get you. Sounds like you have it pinpointed to your shopping trip. As no fun as it is, I guess we all have to stay away from crowds and people and stay home so we can get rid of this disease. I'm hopeful with good news regarding the vaccines that we will be able to beat it soon. Sending you both love & prayers.
Same here Stacy, I’m pleased about the vaccine. As you said you just never know, but I think Brighton is highly likely x
Stay safe
Wishing both of you my very best and praying ❤️❤️
Thank you Bruce x
I'm so sorry to hear you are unwell. Healing vibes and prayers to a speedy recovery for you both. ❤️🙏
About clothing. I read materials arnt a source of transmission because of the non-surface aspect. The fomite surfaces are where bacteria and their spores can grow and be picked up. Fomite surfaces are table tops, counters, doorknobs, toilet flusher thingies...all smooth surfaces of that nature and of course direct contact with an infected persons respiratory droplets. I hope that helps in some way. Take care, stay strong, eat healthy and lots of liquids.
That’s interesting because at the restaurant Ach used the loo 🚽 but I didn’t. Then he got unwell xx
Hope you guys get to feeling better❤️✨
Lia, I hate to see that you and Ach are effected by this. I love your demeanor and your attitude! My husband and I are trying to stay home more, but it has been a struggle. We both work from home (not due to COVID, this was established by work prior to the pandemic) my only time away is when I go out to get the groceries. LOL Sending you hugs from North Carolina! :)
In the US we call that kitchen gadget an immersion blender. Also we love to do plain greek yogurt on top of puréed soups (like butternut squash soup). 💕
Take care, I hope you both make a full recovery, my Dear Mum has it and she isolating as am I but I tested negative and so Mum is ok and being monitored by a Nurse at home as given a device to check her pulse and Oxygen levels, so far she's ok and I seem to be ok at present. Sending lots of good wishes and prayers to you two and those suffering with this right now. Xx
Glad you both are on the mend. ❤️
Best wishes on your recovery. I had it back in January feel like shit for a day or two in about a week you're back to normal.
So glad you both are feeling better. Prayers.
Thanks Karen, think we are on the other side of this now xx
I am so happy you are both on the mend!
get well, Lia - love you and Joel
Thanks David x
Hope you both are okay and healthy now. Be safe!
On a side note, you make amazing looking food lol
Really glad you are both on the mend!
My work friend has tested negative twice but was admitted to hospital yesterday & is really quite poorly 😕
Yet his wife tested positive & no symptoms at all.
Stay safe people x
I am so sorry you guy contracted it. Please keep us updated.
I’m always inspired by your cooking! I want an immersion blender(what we call the tool your using) for soups this winter!!
Aloha from Hawaii, Lia. I am a scientific researcher who has experience with qPCR analysis, which is the predominant technique used to evaluate whether or not viral genetic information is present in a sample. Sometimes if the patient is infected and tested very early on in the viral development, the signal for presence will either result in an ambiguous report, or a false negative. This could also be due to a number of other factors, including but not limited to your sample simply not having extracted enough of your mucous (or saliva) to result in a definitive and robust Covid-19 report. I hope that you recover quickly and am sending my well wishes to you and Joel!
She doesn't look sick at ALL. Proves it's not as deadly as the world thinks
Prayers for your recovery, for the two of you.
This was a great vlog despite, you guys having COVID, and being under lockdown...Get well soon Lia and Ach!✊✊✊✊✊
Take care Leaya & Ach!! You will be well. 🙏
Uuuuu Maddie fitness is serious stuff. I love watching her. Also, just finished the queens gambit from your recommendation. It was excellent. Feel better!
“Morning breath...” omg 😱 hope you’re fully restored to health soon, you two!
Feel better Lia, all the best for Ach too!😊
So happy to hear you are on the mend. BTW Ach looks like Super Mario Brothers. So cute!
I really wish that we had gone to lockdown here in the US. We got the worse possible news Sunday morning that my nephews wife had passed from COVID-19. This didn't have to happen.....
Our daughter's best friend Teresa is pregnant. Teresa found out that both her parents, both her brothers, her sister-in-law who is also pregnant, and their toddler ALL tested positive for Covid-19. Everyone is terrified now, and Teresa and her husband have vowed not to see any of them until they're in the clear AND have had vaccines. This virus is extremely dangerous in that it not only attacks your lungs and heart, but it also can leave long term damage, sometimes a person can never get over that damage, and then the suffering is long, slow and painful for the rest of their lives.
Sending you guys, both of you, prayers. Truly. Stay strong, guys. Lia, gurl, Ugh, I'm so sorry.
Get well soon🌻
Love to you both, hope you're well soon.😊💞
Gee it’s a good thing you got your shopping done and was able to film it too!
It truly is hard to say where you got it! I know for me, I wondered where I got it too. Finally, the health department told me that they are sure they were able to pinpoint my exposure, which helped me mentally, just to know. I hadn't went in public for 5 weeks, with the exception of a restaurant. That restaurant shut down for "security reasons", and later, we found out everyone there tested positive, one of my favorite waiters there died :-( Which is why they were closed. They closed down around the same time that I got sick. It was a long 6 week, still having breathing issues. I never lost my taste, but my taste buds changed. Like everything tasted horrible, and everything smelled like an ash tray almost, or sulphur. Really funky! Luckily, my taste has returned, but, I still have moments where my smell is funky again! Sorry you got it, but, the bright side, at least you got it, and it turned out good!
Hope you both continue to improve. Looks good for a full recovery. Immersion blenders (the Masha) are fun.
Thanks LS!
Where did you get the white t-shirt that you're wearing in this video? Thanks for sharing! Washington state's governor just announced a soft lockdown starting yesterday, because our Covid numbers are higher than in March. So glad to hear you two are "on the mend".
Hopefully you both feel better soon!
So sorry you guys got the virus. Hope you both feel better soon.
Rest and get well soon!
I had Covid in March and my smell and taste comes and goes to this day. You should close your eyes and eat to really see if you can taste. When you see the food your brain tricks you into thinking you have your taste back.
So sorry to hear that, I really hope it comes back to 100% for the both of us!
Feel better soon you two!
I hope you are both feeling better. My children keep trying to get my husband and I eat crazy things. We can't taste or smell anything. GOD BLESS you all!
Sending you all my healing thoughts. we all love you
Greetings from Alaska!! Hope your feeling better Lia!
Glad to see you both are doing some better. On the masher for soup, did you cook the vegetables in a pot before using the Masha?
About 25 yrs ago I once had a weird cold and my sense of taste was all messed up (basically as you described). Definitely on the right track with the hand blender!
❤️ the Eastenders clip! Was that Rickkkkay???
EastEnders clip was Ian Beale not Rickkky
Sorry to hear this, glad you are on the mends. Where I live it is rampant and just a matter of time before someone in my family gets it. We are doing everything we can to protect ourselves but a majority of the people where I live are ignoring every guideline , still believe it is a hoax, so disgusted with utter stupidity.
I know there's a lot said about hand washing and you can get it from surfaces but most likely you got it through the air. If you were in a shop and if and infected person was in there, even if you both wore a mask, it could get to you. If you had an N95 mask, it would reduce the chances but even that is not 100%. It can even be spread through your eyes I've heard. Get better! Praying for both of you.
Thanks Kevin. I suppose a lot of people might not even know if they have it - they could have been in the shops / restaurant
I will pray for you both.
Lia what spices did you use in soup specifically because I’d love to make it!! 💕
Hi Jill! specifically my soup was carrots, parsnip and pumpkin! nothing else, 2 veggie stock cubes! x
Sending big virtual hugs to you two. Get better quickly & be well. Much love to you both. 💖🤍🙂
P.S. - the food looks DE-LISH!! Made me hungry. 😁
Hope you are feeling 💯 soon!!!
Glad you 2 are feeling better. I’ve known several people who have had the virus. Does not sound like an experience I want to have
Absolutely! Stay safe Denise x
