    Another armchair doctor here saying that if he was already spitting out phlegm as someone in another thread (I believe) mentioned then he will be probably alright for the London show. Bit of cough syrup, a bunch of advil and he will be as good as new.

    I agree.
    Still might not be 100% but definitely better than yesterday.
    Then back to his best by berlin 🤙

    Speaking as someone who has a ticket for Saturday and will lose a couple of hundred quid in hotel expenses if the show is cancelled, I'd still rather they postponed it to the end of the euro leg than accommodate an unwell singer by curtailing the set and relying on the crowd singing a hit-based setlist. But that might just be me.

    I’m in the same position and definitely agree (if it is possible)

    I agree, but the logistics of rescheduling a stadium gig at such short notice seem unlikely.

    It seemed to me that Ed was suffering with cold or flu type symptoms as opposed to the throat issues he has had before.
    Fingers crossed some Antibiotics and a couple of days rest will sort him out for London.
    It was still a great gig last night and Ed was really making a effort to interact with the crowd.
    FYI, antibiotics don't treat viruses. They are for bacterial infections. One might be prescribed an antibiotic to prevent a bacterial infection like pneumonia from occurring when someone's immune system is weakened from a viral infection, but antibiotics will not speed recovery from the viral infection itself.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Summer covid surge is real
    You had to go there didn’t ya 
    A lot of anecdotes suggesting it has picked up a bit.  I just had for the first time after dodging it for 4 years.  Was probably considered a mild case but took me out for a couple days.  Definitely would have been tough to perform a rock show with it.
    Forget anecdotes. There's data in various locations showing increased positivity, increased hospitalization, increased virus levels in wastewater, etc. However, these things are location-specific. So it's on the rise in some places, and not so much in other places. Eventually, it will begin to decline in the former places and begin to rise in the latter places as it circulates. Every summer has seen a surge, typically later in the summer than June. The Delta wave in 2021, which was a huge spike, started in July and peaked in August.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    My guess is that was more the dry desert air.  Bono mentioned having his hotel room heavily humidified for the Sphere run.  He may have been joking but said the humidity was so bad his wife wouldn’t stay in the room.

    I love Ed and PJ but he gets sick a lot. Maybe time to take some vitamins and lay off the smokes. Hope he bounces back quick

    Thank goodness it peaked here then too, as we were able to catch it before the back to school illnesses, thus passed the testing required to get across the line 😀 and make it to Ohana!

    It was all about timing illness back then. Everyone should have hunkered down with Stone a couple weeks back!

    Bingo 

    Look at all the cancelations or postponements in the last 2 years. Most of them were done minutes or hours before the show. Some like Vegas and Prague were done in advance but that is not the norm. 

    Hell Vienna they had the GA line already in the buliding.

    I was sick two weeks before the Ireland trip.  Perfect timing.  Felt great over there and not sick when I return.  Usually end up getting sick by the end of a trip.
