Has anyone had Covid?

I'd been feeling unwell since Saturday, assumed it was the flu. I'm a carer for my disabled brother (amputee) and his wife who has Alzheimer's, so to reassure them that it was "only" the flu, I had a test at the local test centre on Tuesday, found to be positive for Covid. No, I haven't had the vaccines.

I haven't seen anyone since Monday of last week when I saw my brother, his wife, and her 2 sisters (all vaccinated). I haven't been to any social events, I have my groceries delivered each week (have done so since last year.

I feel absolutely terrible, so very unwell (yes, I know a lot of you will say it's my own fault, BUT the track and trace man who rang me yesterday and who asked me loads of questions, where I've been, who I've seen, said he thinks I've probably caught it from a vaccinated person!

I can honestly say, I've never felt so ill.
