I’ve got covid 😩
Like bad manflu + feeling very tired. I have asthma so the cough is awful. But, for me, it’s been much less severe than the 1st or 2nd ones. I hope this variant doesn’t cause serious problems to the more vulnerable. This is trending on X:

From Dubstar to Brighton, Steve Hillier just released a banging new dance track 🪩🕺🏻
🔥 IT'S HERE. 🔥
The new POLITEK single just landed on all platform. Built for sweat-soaked dance floors & late-night chaos, with Suki on vocals in a famous language almost no one speaks.
Think you can crack what she’s saying? Prove it. And PLAY. IT. LOUD!
