@stringy -

Pretty scary when we had it, because we didn't suspect covid from our symptoms.  Luckily, our Daughter was able to help us out - it was an extreme drain on energy. 

Hope you both also have some help available & feel better soon!

Thanks all for your concern, as I said on the party thread just now, I am not that bad, sense of smell gone, and coughing but nothing serious, back to work monday unless something drastic happens, I am very touched by your thoughts thank you.

Last year I totally lost my voice - worst in my life. LFT negative.

This year coughs, sneezes, fever two nights running, two LFTs a week apart both negative.

And now it's hayfever season. It's looking as though now is the time for gritting our teeth and herd-immunity, unless we need hospital, even if it would have been a deadly disaster two years ago.

@stringy -

Home tests readily available to you, so you can test negative before going back to work?

Emily yes we have a box full of the tests, we stocked up, but I have to go back negative or not, as long as I feel ok, I have no choice, they dont care about it being passed to others in this country.

Gordon, my missus came down with it a week ago I tested muself every day for four days, all negative, even thouģh I had all the symptoms, then suddenly whamo, went red even before I put the used stuff in the bin, tested twice since and still the same, I think those testa only register when there is a significant amaount of virus, cant think of any other explanation. Like I said I dont feel that bad really, had worse colds, but saying that I am almost certain I had it originally 2 years back when it was hard to get tested, my chest was really bad for a week, sense of smell gone all the usual, so I may this time already have a natural immunity as well as the many injections I have had.

Glad that your symptoms are mild. I sometimes wonder how many people percentage wise have had COVID without ever knowing it or testing themselves. My guess is that it is way over double all statistics.

I have had it at least once before, when it first camre out over here, I had the terrible cough, loss of sense of smell and all that, this was before the vax, and when it was supposedly more deadly, so I may have had some immunity from then as well as having had all the vaccines since, in any case it really did barely  affect me at all, I only tested myself because the missus had tested positive otherwise I wouldnt have known I had , had it.
