Have you had Covid 19?
« on: 11 May 2020, 11:20:14 »
I have polled might have. My brother had a dry cough for weeks in Feb/March. When I arrived early March my dad had dry cough for three weeks. I picked it up presumably from him and mine also ran three weeks. Worse at night. Midway through we got thick catarrh and pounding head and temperature. Felt rubbish for ages. How do you know without testing.

Does it matter ??

1.  Testing won't stop you catching it if you don't already have it.

2.  Testing won't cure it if it shows you are infected


The ONLY time testing is of use (other than for number crunching purposes) is for those who think they might have it and are in a position to pass it on ... for the rest of us .. simply staying at home is more than sufficient.

3. Anti-body testing doesn't stop you catching it a second time .. even if immunity works .. the test doesn't stop it, the immunity does.

I've gone for the same choice, with the same prolonged symptoms (as you) back in February, same with Mrs TT after a long weekend in Glasgow if that's useful information.

Does it matter? In the grand scheme of things, no.

But it's always interesting to compare things, sizes, durations, colours, thoughts. That's what forums are for.  :y

Probably had it. Did three aircraft in four nights that had all returned from Northern Italy in early March. One of the hangar lads had it and returned to work a week before we got furloughed.

Minor symptoms, but inconclusive. Not tested, as Nige sagely observes, no point if you're at home.

A bit like possibly having previously had a cold or once drank a bottle of Advocaat ::)

As far as I know I've never had it, but for about 2 weeks in February I completely lost my sense of taste.  :-\

I was starting to think about seeing the quack when it started to return and I've since read that it could be a mild symptom, but who knows....

Entwood - you are right in that it is academic. However it will give an insight into how widespread it was or not. 

What is interesting is how many people I have encountered who claimed to have had the symptoms much earlier than March. Of course it now transpires that it was around well before March - we just weren't aware.

Yes. I've had a really bad chest since early March. No temperature and a cough morning and evening. Windpipe felt like sandpaper. Just feeling better the last couple of days, but doubt it was covid. Other viruses are available.

At the moment I feel like shit. Have felt this way for the last 3 days.

Don't think it is the dreaded lurgy though. Probably man flu which we all know has a kill rate of 100% rather than 1%.

Similar experience here around the same time. A work colleague had "a nasty bug" which he caught from his partner who is in the Met police. I spent 10 minutes in his company and I also had it and then passed it on to swmbo.
We both said it was a very nasty experience and not quite like any other kind of bug we had previously. Definitely remember loss of taste as well as cough and other symptoms. The worst of it seemed to lift to a degree after about 5 days, but then it hung around in a milder form for weeks on end.
Covid 19 ? Don't know and probably never will know.

Your son is young and strong. If he contracts the virus he will probably be able to shrug it off. At your age you need to be careful. Plenty of doddery old men like you have ended up in a pine box.  :)

Rough as toast for 3 weeks in March but the episodes of a very weird dry cough unlike I've ever had before were not frequent enough to warrant isolating/not working, tested negative 2 weeks ago as NHS and working with vulnerable/high risk patients.

Would be interested in having an antibody test !
