Anyone got symptoms?

I came from Switzerland which isn't officially 'high rate', but my school was just over the border from Italy.

Good idea POGS.

Davidhs, I have a friend with exactly the same symptoms as you. She INSISTED it wasn't CV and continued to be out and about.

I don’t know it is was Covid 19 or not I wasn’t tested, 3 weeks ago I had a dry cough, this developed into a very painful chest, it became agony to cough.
Gradually that has changed to mostly clear mucus coughing up, it’s now nearly gone, if it had got infected it would have been serious I was lucky.

Sorry to hear that Gaga.

You flew back on Monday was it?

Did you fly to the UK from a country with severe numbers of COVID 19 cases?

Do you think you may have been more exposed than your daughter and grandson?

If you have COVID 19 in which country are you more likely to have contracted the virus given the time line of the virus.

As you have travelled I would suggest if you have a high temperature you should call 111 and tell them where you have traveled from.

My daughter had a cough last week. We were both worried she had it but she seems fine now. My grandson was hacking in my face (in his sleep) yesterday. So it could just be a cough. It is very dry and tickly though.

I have asthma and I’m immune compromised from chemo and radiotherapy so I’m anxious.

GagaJo and ArtySue, I do hope, if it is the dreaded virus, that you're not too badly afflicted and recover speedily. Lots of good wishes and (((hugs))) to you both. Take care xxx

I guess now every time we have a sore throat/cough we think the dreaded virus. Before all this kicked off I had 2 days of ticklish throat which then cleared while DH had a dry cough for two weeks. But as we get that every winter I assume it was just the usual stuff. If it happened now we would have self isolated.

That's funny MawB, droll and true. I think I've got the virus, have been in isolation for five days with my son buying a few bits and bobs like chocolate and leaving them outside my gate. I live alone but have Classic FM, birds, the telly, knitting and a sunny patio so it's not awful. Fortunately I like my own company but you can have too much of a good thing! I do miss the human contact. This can't go on forever though.

I take my temperature every morning and evening now as a matter of course.
Gagajo you have just flown into the country - what do you think?
I used to find any flight, even domestic, left me with a “throat” for a day or two, but if in doubt get tested.
I have posted this elsewhere, but you might like to read it here too

Dick and Jane BOTH ? show early ?symptoms. Jane STAYS HOME?, gets tested ? and awaits her results ??. Dick goes?? to work ?, stops for a quick drink ? at the local bar, pops by his parents???? house, hits the gym??, begins to feel worse? (eh, but even if he does ? have it, he's healthy??, so he'll recover quickly⏰). Dick finally decides to get tested ?. Both Dick and Jane get ? positive test results. Jane ? infects no one? once she ? started to show symptoms. Dick potentially ?infects dozens, if not hundreds ?, by his SELFISH ? behaviour. Be like Jane?. Don't be a Dick ?.

Have you taken your temperature?

Gagajo try not to panic, hopefully it is just a cough and not the dreaded virus. Take care

gaga keep everything crossed that it is nothing. Keep yourself totally isolated so if you have got it you don’t pass it on.

Keep posting?
