Nah I'm alright but couldn't get tested even if i wanted to. I imagine I'll know by tomorrow if its anything more serious. Think it's just a bad cold or chest infection i had in early feb still there.
I'm distancing from the missus just so we're not both too ill to look after the kid.
I still don't have it that I know of. But my second child is having difficulty breathing. Tightness in chest, dry cough, etc. Some high temperatures but not feverish. All the known signs. The rest of the family seems fine for now. I've put us all on lockdown to avoid spreading it. I'm hoping it's just a chest infection. Keeping my mum metres away from everyone and in separate rooms just in case.
Offer her the same/better prize for staying at home? Maybe 'convince' her that way?
As long as women don't sneeze into their knickers, I'm safe.
Thanks, that's what I did and haven't sent them in.
In my opinion there should be a choice of whether to send them in or not because obviously some people have to if they haven't got other means of childcare, and at least that would keep the number of children in classrooms lower, lowering the risk of mass infections.
Hope it's just a false alarm, how old is your mum ? If she is high risk I would try to get her out of the house if possible.
Mum is 67 taking cholesterol medication and borderline but not quite diabetic. No option of sending her anywhere so we'll have to sit it out. It's not as though ALL old people are in trouble, just a higher number than younger people.
why'd the gloves help if he's the one infected?
Regardless you all need to self-isolate for 14 days now anyway.Our toddler has had a cough for a couple of days and I've now got heavy breathing and a tight chest.

Hope it's just a cough/cold and nothing more!
Hello.
Is it me you're looking for?
I’ve had a slight cough the last few days but it isn’t persistent. I do feel a tiny bit out of breath if I do something like bend down to pick something up or even if I sing along to music. I’m just resting really and working from home. My gf still has to go and work at the store she manages though so me isolating is a bit pointless if she’s outside every day with the public. Her store are being cnuts and they know she has had asthma in the past.
So far, so good.
Temperature was 36.5 yesterday. 36.1 today.

Are you certain its covid ?
No, just had a high risk contact on Tuesday-Wednesday.
Seems so far it's hard to find anybody that's had it for certain. If people have had it they've mistaken it for flu or just had very mild symptoms. Very promising I guess!
I hope they could develop a test that would say if you have been exposed and are immune. That seems as important as diagnosing active cases.
36.7 today
But to be fair it was also 16 degrees this morning, which is much warmer than the previous days.
That's safely in the green zone on our thermometer. The cat was only about 25c when we tried to measure her.36.7 today

Yeah, it should be fine. It's likely due to my home being warmer due to the outside temp.
That's not high temp at all? You should be worried if it goes over 37, and freak out if its >38.36.7 today

I'm 37.2c
That’s fine.I'm 37.2c
I've retreated from the Wasteland and Commonwealth for the time being.
37.8 and above is what's classed as high I thinkI'm 37.2c
I know. It's just the highest temp I've recorded since my high risk exposure.
I think it's that high because your brain is very busy freaking out.
No, I'm not overly worried. Just a big fan of the
smiley.I've been as low as 35.7 and as high as 36.6 in the last few days.
Currently at 35.9

36.4 seems to be my average. Cool customer.
Currently awaiting results of coronavirus testing (already tested negative for influenza a/b and rsv). My symptoms have been quite mild over the last 9 days or so and feel quite good right now. Still have isolated myself as dont want to endanger anyone else.
Those are called serological tests and I believe a research lab has just published about developing one: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.17.20037713v1. Looks like they will try to roll this out over next few weeks I imagine.
So basically, there’s loads who could potentially have it/had it, but no one is able to get tests.
I've had an intermittent cough and a tight chest for nearly a week. Chest tightness peaked around Tuesday but has calmed down a bit since then - it's still there, especially when I walk up the stairs/do something that requires mild effort. I don't think I have a fever, but I don't have a thermometer to verify.
The cough wouldn't be bad enough for me to ever notice at any other time, but the chest tightness is definitely noticeable. Something I've never experienced before.

Woke up feeling more than usually terrible yesterday. Temperature 37.6, shivering, aching, not much of a cough.
Naturally concerned, but feeling a lot better now and almost certain it’s just ordinary man flu. Several of my choir colleagues have near identical symptoms.
Not absolutely certain though. Wish it was easy to get tested. It would come as a massive relief if I’d had it and barely suffered.

How are you feeling today Solius?
Many people only show mild symptoms, not everyone gets aches and sharp needling pain. Stay safe, and keep hydrated.
Pretty good yesterday and today really. The cough hasn’t really got any worse. Probably better if anything. I’m feeling a lot less anxious about everything. I don’t know if that’s wise but I prefer that to feeling worried all the time anyway. Thanks for asking!
