My Eyes!

[LadyCG]

So I've tested positive for Covid. I was exposed to the virus one week ago.

No temperature, no cough to really speak of, no anosmia ... just a very runny nose, aching joints and muscle cramps and sore eyes. The eyes are quite sore but all other symptoms are on the mild end of the scale.

Is this the calm before the storm or have I got off lightly?

My husband and son are presently asymptomatic.

No I wasn't APG, I saw your avatar. This was the post after 14:08 that has been removed. I don't intend to get into a spat, just saying what I saw, that's all.

Yes, this is my point too. When people start to drop their guard because they think somehow the virus has mutated to something like the Flu (which in itself can be fatal) this will be when it will take hold again. People who seem to contract it with little or no symptoms are still as contagious as those who end up on life support.

It was terribly sad about your friend, Bobbi.

My uncle still remains in rehab after all this time.

My mother couldn't see her twin in the Chapel of Rest because of Covid. This virus has a lot to answer for xx

Thanks, Pixie x

No, CG, no tests. Me and Mrs A have always been fairly antisocial, so don't mix with anybody.

Currently she's in cardio ward at local hospital, with a totally non-Covid condition, and they test EVERYTHING there for signs of infection.

I'm old, fat, one-legged, have various conditions, but overall I feel fine! I hope all your various problems abate, and that you, too, will face the future in happier conditions.

very pleased to hear youre recovered

since you are working
on the numbers game the mortality for your cohort seems to be around 0.1% - 1 in 1000.

well done for playing down a disease which on age alone you were likely to have a mild course

onset at three days is worth remembering
oh what I wanted to ask - was did you know you had it from the off? My nephew knew who he got it off ( london airport )

[LadyCG]

I knew I'd come into contact with an infected person on the Tuesday and then I felt like I'd got "something" on the Friday.

Was is worth noting is that my colleague is 10 years younger than me, fit as a butchers dog and had it much worse than me. She was laid up for a whole week.

Minty is still feeling the effects months on.

[LadyCG]

Yes, I think Minty has a case of long Covid, like my uncle.

[emmie]

not good whichever way one looks at it
