Hands up if you think you have Covid19

[Wise Man Says]

Came back from Porto last night. Developed an extremely painful sore throat and a cough the day we left. Probably just a normal cough / upper respiratory thing as no fever.

You 100 percent should stay at home and only venture out if it’s to the hospital if your conditions worsen

 

[Lord Alfred]

Sneaking suspicion, sore throat, cough?

That's me....and I'm at work......in a hospital

Reported for trolling!

Post about conspiracies. Get pulled up on it. Claim trolling. Get laughed at. Report button hit. And repeat.

And onto the next.

Touting daft suggestions about this mess being man made.... Don't get me wrong, I'm open to conspiracy

Doing his usual. Posts about a tin foil theory. Then plays Mr Ambiguous, says I'm not saying it is, I'm just pondering the possibility.

If it's a continuous cough you should be staying at home until it clears.

What's a continuous cough though, one cough every 5 or 10 minutes like a mild cold or something more often?

I didn't really report you, I just said it in the hope you would keep on topic rather than derailing the thread to score some points against me.

If you want to argue with me about conspiracies or how I go about my postings start a new thread or bump another thread.

Do not reply to me on this thread! Thanks.

No worries.

I wouldn’t trust the advice 111 gave. Few weeks ago I rang 111 as I couldn’t get in the doctors, I had suspected cellulitis in my leg it was getting worse and needed antibiotics. They told me it sounds ok just a rash and I didn’t require any treatment. Went straight to walk in centre and got treatment. If I listened to them I’d have been fucked.

For the coronavirus outbreak they've been reading off a script. They had all the animation of Trump reading a teleprompter.

When the dust settles on all of this, I think the lack of testing will be seen to be one of the government's big errors. The South Korean foreign minister on Marr just now talked about how widespread testing has been vital not just in halting the spread, but also in saving lives. They've been identifying clusters and then testing everyone, regardless of symptoms. it means they've caught a lot of vulnerable people early, and have been able to start treating them.

Why this forum?

When discussion about the virus first started on the forums. we were inundated with dozens of threads essentially discussing the same thing. The decision was taken to merge the threads into a single one to keep discussions together and unfragmented. However time has shown that this isn't...

As per government advice last week, you have to isolate for seven days.

I've been out twice since my quarantine ended, and was shocked at how many people are still out and about coughing their heads off.

I expect to. Have to let work know etc but they should be good about it.

Plenty of coughing and spluttering from people around me on the way to and from Porto...

They're both continuous, I don't think there's any definition of how regular it must be.

Ive been showing mild symptoms for a week. I’m pretty sure its not the virus as this is normal for me in Spring, but as i have a severely compromised immune system I’m taking no chances and self isolating.

 

[SAFCOldie]

I think I have it every day. I have a blocked nose and feel a bit manky. But maybe I don’t have it. All too bloody confusing.

Apparently if you ring 111 it tells you to go online to the nhs website, you go there fill in the form and then it ends up telling you to ring 111 I went to the website for a trial test run but quickly realised it was full of shite when it stated are you 'male' or 'female' but 'if you don't identify as either' then ring 111 What a mess.

 

[scraff]

Dont have a cough but have had chills, fever, stomach cramps, headache and lack of appetite since Sunday and work with someone who came back from Germany with the 'flu'

 

[dcl0sc]

I’ve had a cold and chest infection for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Every time I cough people stare at me....

I have had a cough since before Christmas. It's the same every year I pick up a cold in December and it hangs around for months. I do get some funny looks when am out and start coughing

 

[Dark Traveller]

Can somebody explain to me at what point do you self-quarantine?

Not that I feel like I have it or anything, if you work, do you ring up your boss and say if feeling a bit ropey and advise them you going into self-quarantine for a bit?

Personally, I always get a dry cough at work because of the air conditioning. I can see the hypochondriacs arouns the office going into shock every time they hear somebody cough...

That sounds like it could be hayfever to trees. I get early hayfever, don't get it later in the year like most people. Try taking an antihistamine and see if you feel better for it.

It's a simple "I don't feel well, see you in a fortnight". Or at our place they tell you to go home and stay home.
