Downsouth 6,327 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi everyone and I hope all are doing as well as can be under the circumstances? Still no sign of this nightmare abating for a while yet. Plenty of examples of people still not understanding the social distancing rules or maybe defying the advise or instruction. Plenty of conspiracy theories going around and certainly G5 towers being damaged because of it. Where will it end I wonder as I would not be surprised to see further examples of social unrest down the line. Are any of you feeling the brunt of the reality of COVID 19 or know of friends, family that are going through it, if so hopes of a pull through are sent to you? So much time on our hands now, use it well and take good care of yourselves. Link to post Share on other sites

I had just completed 14 days self isolation (due to my mother in law having the symptoms of Coronavirus), then I developed symptoms myself. I have just isolated myself again for 7 days ending today and I was tested for the virus yesterday morning, just awaiting my results and should be back in work tomorrow. Can't wait to get back to a bit of normality! Link to post Share on other sites

Was this the antigen test (to see if you currently have the virus?) As I am a health care worker I was prioritised for testing as I developed symptoms. The test however was carried out 6 days after my symptoms started and when I was feeling a lot better (no fever) so pretty sure the results will come back negative as the test was the one to check for the presence of the virus. My test was carried out in the car park of a secure unit/hospital in Cardiff and consisted or a swab to the back of my throat. Very unpleasant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was concerned the first 48 hours as I had a terrible fever and my legs and back were in agony. I feel so much better now, although I have completely lost the ability to smell or taste anything. Hope that returns soon. My symptoms would definitely fall into the mild category. Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you've had the virus from the symptoms you describe. It's good to hear of someone making a recovery from it. Take care. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,327 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yes indeed do take care and please let us know when your smell and taste ability returns. Must be horrible not being able to smell bacon cooking Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Take a look at Professor Karol Sikora (@ProfKarolSikora): https://twitter.com/ProfKarolSikora?s=09 I've started following this guy on Twitter, he's a breath of fresh air with his commentary on the situation and his tweets certainly give me optimism. Hope everyone is keeping well. Link to post Share on other sites

I've just seen on the BBC news app that the government are changing their story. Coronavirus: 'Mix-up' over EU ventilator scheme https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-52052694 Now it turns out we didn’t get some emails and therefore missed a deadline to join the EU programme. Got to wonder how bad communication is in this government, every other day there’s contradictions. Worth revisiting this I think - the EU haven't actually managed to get any yet apparently. I bet the individual countries have though... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
