I'm sorry it has reached you. The husband of a young person I am close to also has it. Her mum is a close friend and in my bubble. I depend on her for my shopping so that is a worry. This is the first time it has impacted anyone I know. It may have also reached some antivax friends but that is not certain.

 

I can't speak to your weird ankle symptoms, but years of playing with computers and associated devices have repeatedly taught me that extraordinary coincidence is a regular feature of our reality. I can't begin to tell how many times I have been fed red herrings by completely unrelated things going wrong in similar ways at the same time. 

 

Thanks. I am just hoping if we do get it in our household we get it mildly. Given the few other things I have going on like Asthma, it's a bit scary, but no point in worrying about something I cannot control. 

We have had number of weird things turn up that my wife and I have gotten a few days apart that don't seem possible to be transmittable, even weird things like some days we will both sleep badly for the same reason. 

/me shrugs.
