zmk1962 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hey Raiders, I believe I have discovered a so far undocumented new symptom of COVID - I think the offical name for this symptom would be "hairy faciatis" ... but it would most popularly be known as "virus whiskas" ... I have observed that this symptom occurs during lock down and when significant time is spent in the man cave /workshop ! So far it does not seem to have any ill effect (the mrs is still talking to me and happy to stay close) so I am curious if its contagious and if any other members have experienced the same. I am aware a similar condition existed prior to COVID (eg @rickmarlin62) so perhaps the members that had it prior could assist in rating or classifying the intensity of the symptoms for those of us that are just experiencing this now. Also are there any documented cases of recovery ?!?! Here is a photo of the symptom: Cheers Zoran 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingFishing Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I recently experienced similar symptoms, and after suffering a relentless berating from my wife i visited the "doctor" who was able to treat me with a pair of clippers and some scissors. Definitely treatable ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Another symptom you can suffer if not very careful is "abdominal expansion". I hear it's triggered from boredom which then leads to excessive alcoholic/food consumption to fight off the disease. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Great post, Zoran. Just be aware that excessive facial hair can make the wearing of a face mask inefficient. 😉 I am aware of another symptom... fartus tobesureus. I read that victims of COVID19 sometimes lose their sense of smell. So, I am asking people, “Can you smell that?” If they say they can’t, I give them a strange look and extra distance. I also do this to my work colleagues, even if I don’t drop one. 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Well I can speak for the females - my hair is out of control and grey is very prevalent. I am saving money on haircut/colour, nails, makeup (what is makeup?) I am really excited because tomorrow I am going to get a flu vaccine. Might throw some lipstick on and blow dry my hair if I remember how ....... 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria has a partial solution with her hairdresser - who prepared the correct colouring formulation, packaged it in a brown bag and left it at her front doorstep - for my wife to pickup as essential supplies. All payments were cashless and contactless. We have a daughter at home who is proficient in applying said formulation. I was asked to, but quickly rejected as I could only vouch for my capability with Dulux products. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I don't know about a symptom of Covid 19 but this is the results of 3 weeks of taking the governments advice about not going outside. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Maria still looks well cared for Hmmmm I dont have any hair experts here. I am a great nurse but no way I will try hairdressing! Swordie said he would try to cut it and I almost had a stroke at the thought of it. I will wait till it is safe to go to the hairdressers. I can't wait to go to the movies gold class, go out to dinner and have some fine food, hitch up the caravan and go off on an adventure, and I am sure we will all enjoy those things we once took for granted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

61 crusher Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I’ve managed to keep my symptoms at bay usually by addressing it once or twice a week depending on the comments I receive from the other half, hey Zoran I wish I had an outbreak like you have on top but then again mine appears to be improving as I haven’t been to the bank in ages & haven’t seen any monitors around 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
