I think I/we might have Coronavirus thread (release your isolation-frustration here)

I woke up at half seven this morning feeling pretty decent. Came downstairs, fed cats and children, loaded dishwasher. Half an hour later I’m back in bed, totally wiped. Have spent the rest of the day playing civ6 or reading, can’t face anything else.

Wait. This isn’t normal?

Am here for the gastric issues. Anxiety?

Also up & down. Day 13 now.

has it been rollercoaster ish for you as well?

Yeah, slowly building crappiness, then feel better for a day or two, then have another day of being wiped out. But I've been playing Civ 5, so not sure our symptoms are comparable ;)

Wheezy again today. Partner no symptoms so far is dizzy, bad enough to stay in bed.

In bursts yes, not for long though (low intensity gaming helps massively here)

I’m having to play on iPad as daughter has commandeered laptop. Otherwise 5 would be my jam of choice.

I’ve literally just got out of bed and had a shower. Am hoping this tiredness is as bad as I’ll feel all day. I am a lazy sod and have no problem with this to an extent, but I’ve got a garage that needs optimising.

One housemate has had it and recovered and his girl friend feels a bit shit but nowhere near as bad as him. Me and my girl friend have no symptoms other than being a bit tired over the last few days but that could easily be lethargy from being at home. It's mainly the anxiety which is troubling me but apparently 50% of people don't show symptoms so we may be the lucky ones.

My daughter has been in the same house as us for best part of 2 full weeks now and she’s had nothing, nada.

apparently 50% of people don't show symptoms so we may be the lucky ones.

This has to be one of the most mind-boggling things about all this - some* people will get this thing that's killing 1000s, shut down entire countries, made us embrace the authoritarian state... and not. even. notice.

* we have no idea on numbers yet.

Is this the bangface crew?

You are winning every thread at the moment

The thought that somewhere in the UK the police have stopped a person on a bike and told them to go home because they are possibly more than an hour from their house - and that this is now acceptable, even desirable - has completely broken me :(

I would go for a ride but.

Fuck it I'm going running.

have we made a list yet ?

@russmeyer

As far as I know nobody else has been tested.

Same here with my other half, but he's got an excellent immune system. Unlike me :/

Most annoying symptom is I think, the bad case of stupid I seem to have got - mis-typing all over the place, wrong words all sorts of nonsense.

I think I posted about this further up the thread somewhere but I had this massively the other day.

Better to look at the Internet Book of Critical Care page @lowbrows posted, it's much more nuanced.

Wait. This isn’t normal?

It is for this thing which may or may not be covid!

This doesn't mention the loss of smell.

*bangface hard crew.

Yeah hes fine now, grim 3 or 4 days with a sweaty fever and cough locked in the spare room, said he got pretty paranoid he was going to die at one point, his girlfriend just feels rough without any really bad symptoms though, shes quarantined at the moment.

I'm just glad I kept my parents well away even before it was official advice to.

Yeah and terrifying, you could wipe out a generation of your family without even a sniffle.

The Metro is not a reputable source.
It is still not part of the PHE guidelines.

What?? Shocking.

🤣

The Metro is not a reputable source.

What about ENT UK though? The Metro is just reporting what they said to be fair.

Do you consider CEBM a better source for symptoms now than the Internet Book of Critical Care?

The 'people with non-severe COVID-19' column is interesting.
