Teal Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Sorry to hear pal, a lot of us are going to be in the same boat in the coming months. I see you are in Yorkshire didn't realise it was so prevalent up there. Would you be able to post updates on here on how you are getting on, and share any advice, could be very helpful for others in due course. Sounds like you have a good immune system hopefully you will shake it off soon, good luck 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW95J Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Welcome to the club 👍 Not much fun is it. Difficult to know for sure without testing but ticking some of the boxes so that's me stuck indoors for the foreseeable. Taken the energy right out of me.

HW95J Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks for the good wishes, much appreciated. I came down with a persistent cough very quickly indeed and then progressed to aching muscles and the usual flu-type symptoms. Gone from just a regular day of working (albeit from home), to having to cancel all plans for the next few weeks. Fortunately my rural upbringing of being snowed in for weeks and having water/power supply issues never left me and I've always got supplies just in case. Supplemented these (to sensible levels not 600 rolls of TP!) recently and so we should be fairly comfortable. Already had friends offer to drop off food outside if needed. So I'm thankful to be fairly ready for this, my thoughts go out to the elderly etc for who it will be a real challenge. Socially and otherwise. If I have caught the big one then with any luck I'll be immune and can help out others once recovered I'd love to use the time to tinker with guns etc but just not got the energy!

They don’t test you at the moment as it’s a drain on the nhs on less you deteriorate ... so you put your symptoms on 111 online and do there questionnaire and it tells you what to do mine said isolate for 14 days as I don’t live alone so that what we are doing Edited March 18, 2020 by Jacko3275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 MSN have a map of the different areas and number of cases and the Yorkshire area is pretty high, along with parts of Scotland. Obviously London and the south east due to population. I fortunately live in a small hamlet and the old 'war' spirit has come to the fore with notes and e mails from numerous people living in the village offering help if needed. I lived through the war years where upwards of 500 a night where being killed by German bombs and the same community spirit existed back then. Hope your soon over it, get well soon. How long is it, does anyone know, till the bug is no longer contagious in a person suffering from it. Does the bug just die away in you as you get better?

B725 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Just been through the drive in a at McDonald's for 2coffees had to pay via contactless and the 2coffee cups then placed in a paper bag so there was no contact with their staff, but what if they had it by handling the bag could pass it on the world's gone nuts.

oowee Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Get well soon lads. Was thinking in some ways its better to get it early if you are going to get it rather than in the peak. At least the NHS is not over run yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Get well soon - those who 'have it' and also to those who sadly will have it at some stage (which may well include most of us). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
