Well There You Have It, I’ve Tested Positive For Covid

My daughter rang me with a Mum , do a test , and the rest is history :0(

But bobbi, you can get an occasional sneeze and a mild headache with Covid. In fact you can get fewer symptoms than that.

Covid is now endemic in this country (and just about every other) and will remain so indefinitely. We will all be exposed to it regularly. It is no more or less dangerous than any one of the many other respiratory diseases which are also endemic and can display the same symptoms. You cannot test for any of them and it simply makes no sense to test for Covid.

It’s all happening my lovely 18 yr old grandson wen to Milan with his friend for 3 nights and a big black fellow asked where he was from and his accomplice told B he was a big young man, and guess what , phone gone !! It was in his cargo shorts

Not sure who lost what here?

[Bobbisox1]

Bs apple phone was nicked at a cash point DT, still it could have been much worse, a phone is replaceable

[DTCwordfan]

True - tell him to make it explode or send a text to it that he, B, has been identified with a new, Mongolian variant of Covid that is immediately transferable to the phone user, as he B has used it -and that the device should be handed into the Milano Gardia toute suite to minimise infection.

toute suite translates to 'di più' in Italian....

[Bobbisox1]

The Milano Garda just didn’t want know :0(

'poi dire loro di infilarselo nelle chiappe'
...if the Ed accepts that Geordie translation - according to Gino's.....

I thought you would chastise me for what I said Bobbs but you've given me a BA. Cheers.

I heard about Queen Camilla being positive after thinking she had a cold and testing positive. Thought I had better test and yes I am positive too.Do I need to notify anyone?

//Do I need to notify anyone?//

What makes you think you do, margobo?

[jno]

the government like to be notified, margobo, but I found I couldn't. The phone number they gave provided an endless list of options and suboptions, none of which seemed to be "report test result". The only alternative was to report online, which requires a mobile phone, which I don't have. So I didn't.

[New Judge]

You can only report the result of a free lateral flow test. Any that you have paid for cannot be reported. Quite why the NHS wants to know is a little hard to understand.

it was a free one.
