I had most of the symptoms on the second list last week. Was doing daily LFT's anyway as I'd been in close contact with a person who later tested positive, but they remained negative throughout.

Same here, I was convinced I had it again, tbh I still feel crap and run down but every lft test I took came back negative.
 
I've eaten like a spuggy the last few days. Strangely I seem to be suffering from really enhanced sense of smell and a loss of taste at the same time if that's possible.
Not even a bacon sarnie could persuade me I was hungry
 
In fairness a couple of them are definitely common new symptoms, like a cough or feeling tired. A few people who have had it in the last few weeks said it just felt like a bit of a cold

I currently have most of these symptoms but lateral flow tests are negative 🤷‍♀️
 
Came down with Covid on Sunday. An LFT confirmed Tired, sore throat, runny nose, loss of taste but last night I started bleeding from one nostril and a while later started bleeding from the ear canal on the same side.
Anyone?
