You can't know for sure if you've had it without testing.  The mild version is like so many other infections in terms of the way you feel.

I would just like to know if there is any truth in the link I posted. My lack of sense of smell or taste has been bloody awful for several days now but until a friend posted the link to its possible connection to Covid19, I just assumed it was that I must have had a sinus infection. All normal colds go straight to my sinuses but I have never experienced anything like this.

There are even people trying to sell "fake" Covid 19 test kits

I think that was reported a few days ago saying you could be a carrier of the virus and the advice was to self isolate.

Unless the link is from an official NHS site, I think you can safely treat it as utter poppycock.

If those were related symptoms, I think they would be listed on official websites, or on sites such as the BBC, and so far as I am aware, they are not.

If people in your Choir was it, that you last saw almost a fortnight ago, might have had it, your 14 days isolation is almost up already, and if the feeling of mild feverishness from 7 days ago was the virus, then again, the seven days isolation from having symptoms is also about over.

That said, it is not confirmed that having the virus necessarily makes you immune, so essentially the best option remains to carry out sensible precautions.

I'm not for one minute saying that I actually believe it but equally, not prepared to totally dismiss it as "poppycock" either. I'd like to see a bit more science before assuming anything!

  My daughter thinks she has had the virus - a cough and painful chest but no obvious temperature. She had an email from the head teacher of the school where she does dinner duty, enquiring about the results of her test, which of course she has not had!! We are wondering what planet this lady lives on. I think I heard today that the test is not completely accurate anyway.

Does this count as science?

In other news, I am utterly appalled at the irresponsible attitude taken by the biker community, which has been gathering in force all around the country, as if this was just any old Sunday!

Her manager is breaking the rules if she does not let her self isolate as the rules are isolate for symptoms.
