Me and wifefrom has it. Weemanfrom likely too but no symptoms.

2 friends lost their dads. Another lost his grand mother.

Around about 15 clients of ours have died. About 600 out of 2500 clients had/have the virus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just did the covid test in Belfast Odyssey carpark, after 48 hours of fever, headaches, sore all over, pains in abdomen and no apetite.

Am asthmatic, but have no breathing issues or cough.

Just feel like I got a hangover and good kicking.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mine presented as difficulty catching a breath and a kind of tight sore chest. Was a bit scary.

Wifefrom lost her sense of smell which was the first indicator for us. Was surprised to hear small and taste just being recognized as symptoms in the UK recently.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you and family are ok now.

Had really bad asthma attacks until aged 19, so I know what that feeling does to the mind and body.

I had it, felt like crap but never had the breathing problems, passed it onto someone from work who sits next to me. She was coughing up blood.

Her Husband then caught it and he is Diabetic. He was in intensive care, she had the I dont think he is going to make it through the night call. Thankfully he did recover and is now on the road to recovery.

I genuinely though I had killed him, the guilt was terrible.

It's posts like these and talking to people that makes me believe that the thing has been around for longer than we thought and many millions have been subjected to it with either mild-ish symptoms and put it down to a bug or something or who have had no symptoms at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought it was all about the breathing and cough, but when the wife checked covid symptoms, things such as headaches, abdominal pains, no appetite, loss of energy etc pip up too.

last summer I had a cough for 4 weeks, lost my sense of smell and taste for 3 of them

was on steroids and antibiotics

went to the docs 3 or 4 times and they couldn't figure out what was up with me

the loss of taste and smell is one of the worst things I've ever experienced

guy in my works mrs had it n she hasn't got her taste or smell back yet, thats from the end of March

A friend of Mrs Irish mother passed away from it in a nursing home.
I didnt know the woman directly myself but she is the only person that I am aware of having the virus.

That said I may have already had it with no symptoms along with Mrs and little Irish, I dont know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With Irish luck, I hope you had it and will never get it again, mate.

Afternoon White Wall, man

Sorry to hear about that scare and it is frightening if we think we have it and spread it.

I worked overtime on Paddys day and gave stats to a guy who tested positive, living with a doctor.

By the way, in the old Shed, when did the Middle and White Wall start winding each other up?

Or, Benches Benches give us a song lol....especially if hammers fans were in among them.

Hopefully but I can see people over here relaxing their guard a lot and I just worry about an increase in infections.

A worrying stat is out of a 1000 people polled, 46% believe we are through the worst of this.
While I hope they are right I dont think that is the case

Mid March I had a proper dry cough, lethargic as fook and so on. Only symptom I never had was a temperature.

Probably just being para as it happened a few days after a mate of mine went into isolation and without being tested I'd never know for sure.

Terry Munro sounds like the kind of guy who thinks the moon landings were staged.

At this point I’d feel safer if the Coronavirus held a press conference to tell us how it could save us from Westminster.

You mean they weren't?

I know a few people that have had it, most were ok to stay at home with flu like symptoms and loss of taste and smell, but one ended up in the ICU with collapsed lungs.

All fully recovered now thankfully.

I also know of someone whos taken the antibody test and it came back positive

said he felt one day about 6 weeks ago but apart from that nothing

Christ.

I thought I lost my sense of taste the other day, then I remembered I was eating at works canteen...

Me, my maw and da all had symptoms around 2 months ago.

I was absolutely fooked, not sure if it was that or if it was just the flu. I was out and about a good bit just before it all started which probably wasnt the smartest idea.

As for people who have definetely had it, i only know of it happening to people through people. Two died, one in his 50s and one in his 70s.

Never known anyone under 30 to have it, unless i did

Afternoon Blue,

Before my time starting going mid 80's was around by then already, thing is at the time as a teenager I was way to scared to stand by the Whitewall it was full of nutters

Never known anyone under 30 to have it, unless i did


thats the scary thing

it's probably people same age as me and younger than have done most damage by passing it on

my pals mrs had it, she got it bad but the rest of the house was fine

my wife is certain she had it at christmas, she was utterly buggered.

data doesnt support it though, when we knew it was taking off the inspection spread in a hurry

Having said that, im extraordinarily careful. Wash before and after shopping. Clean all my shopping. Wash all my clothes after getting home. Carry hand sanitiser at all times and use it before entering and leaving a shop. Always awkward coughing though

People who pass it on are either very careless or very selfish.

"my wife is certain she had it at christmas, she was utterly buggered."

I'm pretty sure that's something entirely different
