• Sorry to hear that. How did you get tested?

  • I'd rather err on the side of caution of not being responsible for the death of a couple dozen pensioners, and later be told it was a big over reaction I didn't need to do than think, I'm sure it's nothing and head out like some sort of, mildly chesty, harbinger of doom

  • Did you get tested?
    The sore joints and limbs was only mild in my case and for no more than 2 days if that. Temperature was less than for the "proper flue" where you're in bed for 4-5 days and can't eat/drink/think/work.

  • Got tested at work. I'm in Sweden and here they don't test generally anymore (same as UK right?) but for hospital staff with symptoms they will.

  • What kind of test is it? Swab or blood?

  • Where can you get tested? Id like to find out if I'm definitely infected. Family are in Somerset and I'm feeling a bit shit, don't want to stay in London by myself if all I have is Rhinovirus/seasonal cold.

  • Ah, sorry, saw this....

  • Swab. Nose and throat.

  • Well, I'm a confirmed case now.

    Wow ok. Hope you recover quickly. Keep us updated.

  • My only claim to fame so far. Wife is a bit stressed out and the kids can't seem to believe it, they've been worried/excited about corona since new year's from all the talk in school and online.

  • Do you all have it?

    Any idea how you got it?

  • Any idea how you got it?

    Clearly been eating bats

  • No just me atm but I've only had symptoms since yesterday morning which is when I got tested. Incubation period seems to be 2-10 days so time will tell. I caught it either in France or on the plane back, was there for work last week.

  • Clearly been eating bats

    Not again!

  • Panic buying has made it hard to get pangolins at the moment.

  • I have been asked to self-isolate. Not massively excited about that.
    Currently oddly short of breath on minimal exertion. Otherwise- it feels like a really terrible sore throat. I don't have that bad a cough.

    I remain unconvinced that it is Covid.

  • "They" say you can go out and exercise provided you keep a bit of distance between you and other people.

    That obviously won't be the case anymore if they lockdown London completely in the very near future.

  • No test despite you being a medical professional?

  • As per Chris Whitty- we're not there yet.
    I won't lie and say its not infuriating, but it is what it is.
    I'm not sure quite how they're doing the rapid testing in SK but it is a complicated test process.

  • South Korea, presumably.

  • Yes, sorry- SK for me means South Korea, but I can see the confusion with Slovakia.
    What is the correct country code?

  • KR, according to ISO

  • And World Health Organisation the hell is ISO?
