Had a very weird sore throat for ages which didn’t feel like a regular sore throat and the same dry, slightly tight chest with no persistent cough. I decided the sore throat was due to having to do so much more talking working from home and decided the chest was cos I’m not cycling 70-100 miles per week commute.
No fever though.

I had this and I'm now as sure as I can be (without being tested) that I had Covid-19*, plus from your description of your chest it sounds like it could be the virus.
However, if you're still cycling 70-100 miles a week I doubt it. I went from riding 85 miles one weekend to barely able to walk down the road the next. How are you feeling now?
*I work closely with our international and global engagement offices at work (who normally do LOTS of flying around the world) and, unsurprisingly, it turns out the virus has been rampant in those teams.
There was a weekend workshop on the weekend I first started getting symptoms other than fatigue (14/15th March) and six of the nine people who went got it, despite precautions being taken. The person who I thought had it and I think gave it to me has had persistent lung problems since and had to go onto steroids. She's been told by the doctors that they're pretty certain she had it, and if she was presenting with the symptoms she had now she'd be tested.

Anyone else feel like they have a sore throat that doesn't get really sore or worse, and a dry feeling chest with a slight cough that doesn't move into coughing fits or anything? Had a headache all day yesterday with slightly warm forehead too, but not really today.
I don't know if just psychosomatic or just mild symptoms or even just a common cold...
