A sore throat with this virus is like swallowing glass just swallowing your spit to put it bluntly.
If anyone can eat or even drink ( without discomfort ) then things aren't too bad at all.

erm...no, and no. He's been well enough to eat, drink, watch tv, read his paper, drink beer, etc.

He had a sore throat for ONE DAY

Perhaps he doesn't feel well enough to do anything? Or maybe in shock like the rest of us.

My husband has been at home for 2 weeks, with a sore throat, NO other symptoms. Now he's furloughed (Who knows how long?!) but he doesn't want to do anything at all.

I work in the mornings, and usually lunchtime too (the lunchtime one has finished whilst all this Covid-19 is on), and I do everything at home. I don't mind that, when he's at work all day....BUT he's 61, fit and healthy, and is currently asleep on the settee, having done absolutely nothing today. AIBU to feel angry?
