I've got flu. But not Covid.

Flu in August is practically unheard of. Even in the frigid climes of the Isle of Man. Do make sure you're getting your vitamin D and zinc, Mr Clive. The covid tests are unreliable. I have a 50yo friend who was otherwise healthy and suddenly died of a mysterious pneumonia "not covid" after being in contact with someone who came from the UK at the height of the pandemic. We've also had very many false negatives when testing every single passenger landing here in HK. Take care, chug your vitamins, and don't be afraid to call 999 if your condition worsens quickly after a few days.

PeetieGonzalez

Get well soon :)

Dave Ahern

Get well soon Big Clive

I check my email and it says "Big Clive just shared "I've got flu. But not Covid." for patrons only" Wait, BigClive has some flu for patrons only? haha

Looking forward to more of your videos soon as you get well.

Get well soon my friend, glad its not covid. Don't need that crap.

Clive, Get well and take your time. We'll watch Ralfy in the meanwhile...(:-).

Get well soon Clive!

Andreas Schuderer

No explanation needed, am just getting past a common cold myself. Hope you recover fast x :)

Broxie

Get well soon! :)

Sven Satanson

No fun at all! Hope for you to get through it super quick and that it's not too bad.

Brooks Andersen

Time for a bit of rum and tea and a warm bed. Get well soon!! Some paracetamol could help you through.

Hub Rijcks

Feeling any better?

Get well soon my friend

Have a tinker with this. https://www.zdnet.com/article/blackview-bv9900-pro-to-get-android-10-upgrade/

Ian Cooper

Take a good rest and look after yourself. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Mike Hughes

well get better soon have bin enjoying your videos a lot thanks in fact its got me back into doing electronic stuff :D

Mort

"It might be a tumor."

Justin Smith

Get Well soon Big Clive!

While correlation is not causation the fact this was data munching gives me better confidence than whether it was performed by actual scientists under fascist orange hair

Cerity

Take care and take your time to get well again.

Frank

the whippet hopes you're feeling better soon mate.

Whippet Gas

Take care mate. Sure that there is some special beverage you make which is perfect for flu recovery

Het well soon!!!

Mike Weijmans

All the best and a speedy recovery!

Get well soonest, and don't hesitant to get yourself into a doctor's office if you start getting short of breath. Might be worthwhile to get yourself one of the little O2 monitors that clips on your fingertip. Bonus is that you would get to rip it apart after you feel better.

Paul Ste. Marie

Take a good rest

Johnson Lam

Get well soon 👍

No worries , get well.

Charles Bruckner

Hoping you’re better really soon.

Dave Pursley

Oh no..... he's gone and drunk the pink Fog-It elixir.

Big Clive are you sure it isn’t Morning sickness? 😂

Lostngone

Get well soon Clive. The vids can wait until you are better :)

Ross Robertson

Get better.

Best of luck and hope you kick this bug in the arse directly. Make sure to get moist air and don't let your lungs dry out. Do have any way to put mist in the air? :)

Jim

BC, wouldn't one of your O3 gennys have sanitized anything in your house or vehicle?

Get well soon Clive. I'm sure I speak for us all when I say the videos can wait until you're better, look after number one first. Best wishes

Simon Howroyd

Get well soon. All the BEST!

Magnus Franzon Uvebrant

Get well soon! I’d get tested for covid tho, if it’s that then you can relax a bit on the fact of getting it just as badly later as you’ll have antibodies.

Clive, I sure hope you get tested for COVID. The symptoms can be pretty much identical, and you're far more likely to catch COVID right now than the flu. COVID also happens fast, gives you chills (fever) and causes muscle aches.

Seat Warmer

It's all good. You take care of yourself.

Nani Isobel

Sending healing thoughts! We'll be ok for a few days without your amazing videos... Get well soon my friend!

hope the best for you!

Groovy1024

Hope you're up and about soon. Get Ralfy to make you an extra special 'Hot Toddy'.

Andrew Donaldson

Me too buddy, most of the covid test centres in Scotland have been booked out as a result of people having the flu and not being able to tell the difference. All the schools are also sending kids home that have any 'flu' symptoms which is compounding the mass confusion. Im getting weird looks at work and feel as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. Hope you feel better soon

I'm sure it'll take more than this virus to take you to bits - get well soon!

Leak

Get well soon Uncle Clive.

John Carr

Get well soon Clive. Plenty of sleep and alcohol. Maybe Carbonated Jägermeister. Lol 🤧🍾

Glad to hear you don't have covid. It can always be worse. Hope you get better soon, Clive.

Get well soon,Clive!...So, social distancing didn't prevent you from getting the flu.. and corona is way more contagious.. quite a scary thought..

LOL because we want him to not get healthy as quickly as possible and THEN relax... ;)

Ryan Coleman

See... I knew it... gym's are bad for you! Seriously though, I hope you feel better soon.

Phil in the kitchen

I hope you feel better, too... but don't kid yourself -- COVID can do those things, too... just not as common as the ... ahem... common flu.

Ryan Coleman

Rest and get better. Pet the kitties (purr therapy). We have got plenty to watch.

Kevin Hardisty

You deserve a vacation. Go pet some cats and drink plenty of alcohol.

CasualKitty

Get well soon!

Mike Cowen

Fever videos sound interesting.

Earl Plotner

Feel better soon :)

Wangers n Mash

Hope you feel better soon!

Adam Christensen

I hope you feel better soon. Maybe you need a nice tasty 240v hot dog :-)

Keith Lambell

Poor Clivey! Get well soon papa bear. Have plenty of dark and stormy! Xx

Sean Yem

Look after yourself Clive and hope you get well soon.

Craig Watson

get well soon mister clive! best wishes!

Get well soon.

feel better soon.

David Turmelle

Get better quickly Clive. Hope you feel better soon.

Rocco Rizzo

Make your self a hot toddy and get better soon!!

Initial symptoms of 'flu and Covid can be similar. If you develop a persistent cough, high fever or loss of smell please be sure to get your GP involved. Let Ralphy know. Hope you are feeling better soon, Clive

May you get to feel better soon. 🤞

Ozone S.

Get well soon fella

Videos can wait (there is a massive back catalogue). Health comes first.

John Russell

Much research shows that appropriate levels of Vitamin D-3, boosts immune system to allow it to more easily repel colds, flu, Covid viruses. ---- This study graphs the relationship between the numbers of coronavirus cases in European countries, and the average Vitamin D3 levels in each population. Quite convincing evidence that Vitamin D supplementation can reduce severity of all viral infections. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7202265/ "The role of vitamin D in the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 infection and mortality" published May 6 2020.

Get well soon Uncle Clive. :)

Wim

Get plenty of dark and stormy down yer' and we will see you on Saturday....

John Catterall

Rum, Butter, brown sugar / Honey and hot water - but don't do it by the pint. I do get relief with a hot water bottle on my chest, or a cat ;-) you do have a few spare, I was going to make a Mrs Slocombe joke ;-) and use another word for cat. Get well soon

John Harrison

Kick its ass Clive.

MarkM

Doesn't Covid have the same exact symptoms? They are both from the Corona family. I hope you get soon real fast. Fresh chicken soup (not canned or any other type) does wonders, in shortening the length of illness.

MarkM

Will you still have to self-isolate? In any event please take a break from YouTube and get the rest you need. Patrons will still be here when you recover.

Mark Gray

Take it easy Clive

Tazz1669

Muzzy?? Feel better and no more spicy fog ginger beer for a while.

Aaron Nadler

Get well soon Clive, hope that's all you've got mate.

Keith Pawson

Get well soon BC.

Adam B

Sorry to hear that. Get well soon!

Richard Robinson

Get well soon Clive! Rest up and take it easy.

Scottish milk like an Irish coffee? Do you think you caught it outside or from personal interaction the last week❓

Cerity

Get well soon Clive!

Get well soon Clive!

Rest up. Get well soon.

Jim Norman

A glass of Scottish milk works apparently. Get well soon Look forward to you getting back on the air again.

Neil Tonks

Get well soon big man, I'll break some electric shit in your honour.

Look after yourself and get well soon. Flu is generally far less deadly than Covid but it's still a killer, which is why we Stroke Survivors have flu inoculations and why I don't intend to return to normal until I have been inoculated against SARS-CoV-2

Dr Andy Hill

Since everyone is giving their cure advice.... A nice hot cup of earl grey with lemon and honey. Add a respectable shot of scotch. Then leave out the earl Grey, lemon and honey. XO

I'm monitoring the situation.

Big Clive

Oh no Clive, where did you pick that up from? I wish you well soon, flu ain't funny, it makes you feel awful. :(

Get well soon Clive

Take it easy Clive and rest up, hope you feel better soon

Get well soon Clive, I prescribe Rum every hour, after a few you will still have Flu but won't care ;-)

Private Private

Feel better. You know what to do.

Michael Thompson

Covid sneaks up on you, insidiously, by the time your realize you're sick, you're *SICK*. I had it, minor lung capacity reduction and I can't taste salt as well as I used to m

Its all those sausage fumes

GL_1_Code1_1A

Yikes! Those chills and muscles pains do sound more like flu but, if you start having difficulty breathing, running a temperature and lose your sense of smell (electrofork a Dutch sausage and if you can’t smell that, it’s serious) see a doctor PDQ. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Get well soon Clive gonna miss bcdc

Whisky, hot, piece of sugar in there. Then go to bed, and sleep some good hours. Get well!

Peter Stimpel

is man flu not worse than covid ?

Get well soon snifflebum!

You've been working too hard, take care of yourself, we need you back to full bear health. Hope you feel better soon.

Right there with you. Got myself a case of something I've been mulling through.

Damn, hope you get better soon.

Mark Hazlewood

Look after yourself Clive, must have been a bit worrying when you started getting flu like symptoms but lucky it's not Covid.. Having said that as Covid doesn't affect some people very much maybe it's unlucky you have the Flu, which can be very unpleasant!

Mike Hanley

Sorry to hear that Clive, flu sucks :( Get well soon!

Chipmunk

Get well soon, Clive!

Rest up and I hope you feel better soon sir.

Be better! Chicken soup, electroforked, stat!

Witold Witkowski

Look after yourself and shake it off soon.

Phil Collins

Oh, No.... Minkymoo will have to stand in for you...... LOL! Seriously....get better soon mate!

Take it easy! Recover soon Clive! 💖

Hang in there. A few days and you'll be on your legs again.

Zeedijk Mike

Hope you feel better soon 😨

The Tinkering Shed

Feel better soon. Have a dark and storm!

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Take it handy.

Peter Wright

Cerity

I wish you a speedy recovery. 💜

Jessica McIntosh

Impressive that the man with the world's biggest collection of sterilising equipment still managed to get sick. Get well soon!

Bloonface

Get well soon. And get yourself tested just in case.

Bas

Hope you get well soon buddy

Simon Kyrollos

Have you had a test?

Ian Cooper

Sending hugs! But not too close...
