a sore throat and sudden outbreak of sneezing. But it doesn't necessarily mean anything because these are normal random symptoms for me.

also taken another scammer hostage (just after 9am).

apparently better now. No idea about the scammer's situation and it's still too soon to see if I've flattened the curve at all.

how do you tell?

glad you’ve “recovered”

difficulty telling with the symptoms other than by persistence and resistance to antihistamine treatment etc.

relying on the "who called me" site for monitoring everyone else's reports but it takes a couple of hours for data to filter through and appear on the not-quite-24-hour graph (it belatedly fills in based on time of call not time of complaint).

that yesterday it topped 70 without me but today there is now a definite plummet in activity from the 9am time when I took a hostage: https://who-called.co.uk/...

interesting. I would have expected them to be making more calls in parallel than that.

there were still a lot of calls going on. It's just that I do seem to be able to make a slight impact on them.
