COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a virus called coronavirus.
a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
– this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature) a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual) YOU MUST STAY HOME IF YOU HAVE: DO NOT go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do. Only call 111 if you cannot get help online. HOW LONG TO SELF-ISOLATE? if you have symptoms of coronavirus, you’ll need to stay at home for 7 days
if you live with someone who has symptoms, you’ll need to stay at home for 14 days from the day the first person in the home started having symptoms If you live with someone who is 70 or over, has a long-term condition, is pregnant or has a weakened immune system, try to find somewhere else for them to stay for 14 days. If you have to stay at home together, try to keep away from each other as much as possible.
How to avoid catching and spreading coronavirus (social distancing) Everyone should do what they can to stop coronavirus spreading. It is particularly important for people who: are 70 or over
have a long-term condition
are pregnant
have a weakened immune system Do wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
always wash your hands when you get home or into work
use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards
avoid close contact with people who have symptoms of coronavirus
only travel on public transport if you need to
work from home, if you can
avoid social activities, such as going to pubs, restaurants, theatres and cinemas
avoid events with large groups of people
use phone, online services, or apps to contact your GP surgery or other NHS services Don’t do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean
do not have visitors to your home, including friends and family
HIGH RISK The NHS will contact you from Monday 23 March 2020 if you are at particularly high risk of getting seriously ill with coronavirus. You’ll be given specific advice about what to do. Do not contact your GP or healthcare team at this stage – wait to be contacted.
How coronavirus is spread Because it’s a new illness, we do not know exactly how coronavirus spreads from person to person. Similar viruses are spread in cough droplets. It’s very unlikely it can be spread through things like packages or food.
Pregnancy advice If you’re pregnant and worried about coronavirus, you can get advice about coronavirus and pregnancy from the Royal College of Obstretricians and Gynaecologists.
Treatment for coronavirus There is currently NO specific treatment for coronavirus. Antibiotics do not help, as they do not work against viruses. Treatment aims to relieve the symptoms while your body fights the illness. You’ll need to stay in isolation, away from other people, until you have recovered.
Why staying at home is very important
It is very important that individuals with symptoms that may be due to coronavirus and their household members stay at home. Staying at home will help control the spread of the virus to friends, the wider community, and particularly the most vulnerable.

While you are staying at home, make sure you do the following things
Stay at home
You and all household members should remain at home. Do not go to work, school, or public areas, and do not use public transport or taxis.
If possible, you should not go out even to buy food or other essentials, other than exercise, and in that case at a safe distance from others. The 14-day period starts from the day the first person in your house became ill.
If you require help with buying groceries, other shopping or picking up medication, or walking a dog, you will need to ask friends or relatives. Alternatively, you can order medication by phone or online. You can also order your shopping online. Make sure you tell delivery drivers to leave items outside for collection if you order online. The delivery driver should not come into your home.
If you are an employee and unable to work due to coronavirus, please refer to this guidance from the Department for Work and Pensions to find out about the support that is available to you.
If you are living with children
Keep following this advice to the best of your ability, however, we are aware that not all these measures will be possible.
What we have seen so far is that children with coronavirus appear to be less severely affected. It is nevertheless important to do your best to follow this guidance.
If you have a vulnerable person living with you
Minimise as much as possible the time any vulnerable family members spend in shared spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms and sitting areas, and keep shared spaces well ventilated.
Aim to keep 2 metres (3 steps) away from vulnerable people you live with and encourage them to sleep in a different bed where possible.

We understand that it will be difficult for some people to separate themselves from others at home. You should do your very best to follow this guidance and everyone in your household should regularly wash their hands, avoid touching their face, and clean frequently touched surfaces.
If you are breastfeeding while infected
There is currently no evidence to suggest that the virus can be transmitted through breast milk. Infection can be spread to the baby in the same way as to anyone in close contact with you. The current evidence is that children with coronavirus get much less severe symptoms than adults. The benefits of breastfeeding outweigh any potential risks of transmission of the virus through breast milk or by being in close contact; however, this will be an individual decision and can be discussed with your midwife, health visitor or GP by telephone.
If you or a family member are feeding with formula or expressed milk, you should sterilise the equipment carefully before each use. You should not share bottles or a breast pump with someone else.
You can find more information at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists website.
Cleaning and disposal of waste
When cleaning you should use your usual household products, like detergents and bleach, as these will be very effective at getting rid of the virus on surfaces. Clean frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, handrails, remote controls and table tops. This is particularly important if you have an older or vulnerable person in the house.
Personal waste (such as used tissues) and disposable cleaning cloths can be stored securely within disposable rubbish bags.

What you can do to help yourself get better
Drink water to keep yourself hydrated; you should drink enough during the day so your urine (pee) is a pale clear colour. You can use over-the-counter medications, such as paracetamol, to help with some of your symptoms. Use these according to the instructions on the packet or label and do not exceed the recommended dose.
If you or your family need to seek medical advice
Seek prompt medical attention if your illness or the illness in any household members is worsening. If it’s not an emergency, contact NHS 111 online. If you have no internet access, you should call NHS 111. If it is an emergency and you need to call an ambulance, dial 999 and inform the call handler or operator that you or your relative have coronavirus symptoms.
All routine medical and dental appointments should usually be cancelled whilst you and the family are staying at home. If you are concerned or have been asked to attend in person within the period you are home isolating, discuss this with your medical contact first (for example, your GP , local hospital or outpatient service), using the number they have provided. If your concerns are related to your coronavirus symptoms contact NHS 111 online. If you have no internet access, you should call NHS 111.
Wash your hands often
Clean your hands frequently each day by washing with soap and water for 20 seconds or using hand sanitiser. This will help protect you and the people you live with. This step is one of the most effective ways of reducing the risk of passing infection to others.
Cover your coughs and sneezes
Cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues when you cough or sneeze. If you do not have one to hand, sneeze into the crook of your elbow, not into your hand.

But some people are badly affected by coronavirus, and particularly the elderly and those with certain medical conditions. By staying home, you are protecting the lives of others, as well as making sure the NHS does not get overwhelmed.
Ending self-isolation and household-isolation
Self-isolation
If you have been symptomatic, then you may end your self-isolation after 7 days. The 7-day period starts from the day when you first became ill
Household isolation
If living with others, then all household members who remain well may end household-isolation after 14 days. The 14-day period starts from the day illness began in the first person to become ill. Fourteen days is the incubation period for coronavirus; people who remain well after 14 days are unlikely to be infectious.
After 7 days, if the first person to become ill feels better and no longer has a high temperature, they can return to their normal routine. If any other family members become unwell during the 14-day household-isolation period, they should follow the same advice – that is, after 7 days of their symptoms starting, if they feel better and no longer have a high temperature, they can also return to their normal routine.
Should a household member develop coronavirus symptoms late in the 14-day household-isolation period (for example, on day 13 or day 14) the isolation period does not need to be extended, but the person with the new symptoms has to stay at home for 7 days. The 14-day household-isolation period will have greatly reduced the overall amount of infection the rest of the household could pass on, and it is not necessary to restart 14 days of isolation for the whole household. This will have provided a high level of community protection. Further isolation of members of this household will provide very little additional community protection.
At the end of the 14-day period, any family member who has not become unwell can leave household isolation.
If any ill person in the household has not had any signs of improvement and have not already sought medical advice, they should contact NHS 111 online. If your home has no internet access, you should call NHS 111.
The cough may persist for several weeks in some people, despite the coronavirus infection having cleared. A persistent cough alone does not mean someone must continue to self-isolate for more than 7 days.

Britain has enough food and this crisis could not have come at a better time – Britain is prepared, and the UK shall eat its way through the Coronavirus lockdown in the comfort of our own homes, binging BBC iPlayer, Netflix with an unlimited supply of snacks.
We’ve also got UberEats for Maccies, Deliveroo for PizzaHut and Just Eat for an… Italian or Chinese.

CONSPIRACY FILES: From Biowarfare To Changing The Batteries in the Birds… The Craziest Corona Conspiracies on the Internet

IS THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE ?
THE INTERNET is a breeding ground for wild conspiracies and now the Coronavirus outbreak is leading to a whole new market for those who refuse to believe the official line .
ZeroHedge was banned on Twitter after claiming the virus was made in a Chinese lab – the city of Wuhan is home to a laboratory .
Others claim the virus is either a Chinese weapon that had escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan or an American one inflicted on Wuhan .

IS THE TRUTH OUT THERE?
THE INTERNET is a breeding ground for wild conspiracies and now the Coronavirus outbreak is leading to a whole new market for those who refuse to believe the official line.
ZeroHedge was banned on Twitter after claiming the virus was made in a Chinese lab – the city of Wuhan is home to a laboratory.
Others claim the virus is either a Chinese weapon that had escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan.
‘THE VIRUS MADE FROM HIV’
One Republican senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas claimed that the virus originated in a high-security biochemical lab in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the center of the outbreak.
Speaking on Fox News he said: “We don’t have evidence that this disease originated there,” the senator said, “but because of China’s duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says, and China right now is not giving evidence on that question at all.”
The Foreign Affairs website has also revealed one conspiracy via an unpublished paper authored by Indian scientists seemed to bolster this notion by suggesting that the virus’s protein sequence included elements of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
“THEY’RE CHANGING THE BATTERIES IN THE BIRDS!”
ANOTHER Theory is that the virus is an excuse by a World Government to force everyone inside so they can’change the batteries in the birds’… what? I hear you ask…
Some people believe that birds in the sky are not real and that they’re surveillance tools for the state… yes, really.
There’s even a whole group in America called “Birds Aren’t Real” who sell T-Shirts and Hats making the claims.
The organisation has been active since 1976 and the group says that the initial goal was to stop the genocide of real birds.
“Unfortunately this was unsuccessful, and the government has since replaced every living bird with robotic replicas.” say the group.
It’s a wild world out there… whatever you believe, please ensure you protect yourself from Coronavirus.
It’s very real and can KILL… so take official advice and ensure you carry out social distancing.

A MISSOURI woman delivered her baby in a local Walmart earlier this week, after her water broke as she was making her way through the store’s otherwise bleak paper goods section.
A store employee held up a sheet — cloth, not paper — for privacy while firefighters and a nurse who happened to be in the Springfield store assisted the new mother on Wednesday.
Customers stopped their shopping to encourage the woman, and cheered as she and her baby were taken away by ambulance
“You know a feel-good moment, everybody’s going through so much and with a baby it’s like everything comes full circle,” said Jessica Hinkle, the store manager who held up the sheet.
The entire process took 45 minutes. Hinkle said she had contacted the mother on Thursday was told both she and her child were doing well.
“[I’m] not like the best with blood so that was my job, holding the sheet and crowd control making sure that nobody invaded what privacy the poor lady still had,” Hinkle said.
The birth comes as anxious shoppers wipe stores out of crucial supplies during the coronavirus epidemic, including sanitizers and toilet paper.

HISTORY shall bear witness , when push came to a shove , Great and mighty Britain chose its priorities .
Toilet roll !

The COVID-19 virus is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high-infection rate and fast spread hasn ’ t been as deadly as some of the other previous outbreaks in recent memory .
The actual death rate isn ’ t as bad as SARS , Ebola or MERS , even though the disease spreads much faster due to its unique characteristics .
But I think the most unique thing about the COVID-19 outbreak , is that it occurred in 2019 , when a lot more average people are more likely to tune in to the internet and social media than a decade or so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The internet mechanism of the early 2010 ’ s and prior is nothing compared to the highly-visible and influential network of today , and the journalists [ some of whose salaries we fund ] seek to profit off of it .
People are panicky , irrational creatures and have a tendency to blow even trivial matters out of all proportion but fear over this new form of the common cold is being hyped in the media and so people are feeling a greater level of concern than is warranted for this type @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response .
They feel like they are doing something to prepare .
In any population there are doomsday preppers who believe that the end is coming and so aim to stockpile essentials so they can be self sufficient while they are waiting for the chaos to die down .
Some doomsdayers are preparing against the chaos caused by the disease itself , others are preparing for the chaos caused by the response of governments/health departments , e.g.
, travel bans , quarantines , economic disruption .
When normal people see essential products are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gets activated in them so they don ’ t get caught short , they themselves seek to stockpile the items which are in shortage .
In this case it has nothing to do with the disease or any perceived disruption to the supply chains as a result of government response , it is just to make sure they have toilet paper when they need it since supply has become uncertain .
It isn ’ t needful at all .
It is a perceived need .
The general population doesn ’ t deal with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the Coronavirus .
It is all media driven , of course .
The media likes to sell papers ( or these days , get clicks ) .
It ’ s how they make money .

The psychologists have the answer .
It ’ s control .
The mass hysteria and panic has left the public with a feeling of lack of control .

Buying toilet paper is that action .
But why toilet paper ?

HISTORY shall bear witness, when push came to a shove, Great and mighty Britain chose its priorities. Toilet roll!
It is the time of the mysterious loo roll shortage, except that it isn’t-it’s herd mentality resulting the very worst of humanity as viral
videos hit social media showing corner shops and deceitful businessmen jacking up prices so the most basic pack of toilet rolls have been going
for £10.00 as a conservative starting point.
Why are people ransacking shelves over the country to pack their rooms high to the ceiling with toilet rolls?
The COVID-19 virus is a nasty infectious disease, but its high-infection rate and fast spread hasn’t been as deadly as some of the other previous outbreaks in recent memory. The actual death rate isn’t as bad as SARS, Ebola or MERS, even though the disease spreads much faster due to its unique characteristics.
But I think the most unique thing about the COVID-19 outbreak, is that it occurred in 2019, when a lot more average people are more likely to tune in to the internet and social media than a decade or so prior, when these other outbreaks happened.
The internet mechanism of the early 2010’s and prior is nothing compared to the highly-visible and influential network of today, and the journalists [some of whose salaries we fund] seek to profit off of it.
People are panicky, irrational creatures and have a tendency to blow even trivial matters out of all proportion but fear over this new form of the common cold is being hyped in the media and so people are feeling a greater level of concern than is warranted for this type of disease and so this is their response. They feel like they are doing something to prepare.
In any population there are doomsday preppers who believe that the end is coming and so aim to stockpile essentials so they can be self sufficient while they are waiting for the chaos to die down. Some doomsdayers are preparing against the chaos caused by the disease itself, others are preparing for the chaos caused by the response of governments/health departments, e.g., travel bans, quarantines, economic disruption.
When normal people see essential products are in short supply, the hoarding response gets activated in them so they don’t get caught short, they themselves seek to stockpile the items which are in shortage. In this case it has nothing to do with the disease or any perceived disruption to the supply chains as a result of government response, it is just to make sure they have toilet paper when they need it since supply has become uncertain.
It isn’t needful at all. It is a perceived need.
The general population doesn’t deal with panic well, and people are panicking over the Coronavirus. It is all media driven, of course. The media likes to sell papers (or these days, get clicks). It’s how they make money. So they just love reporting the worst of the worst news, and people love reading it. So the Coronavirus is painted as a potential human disaster with potential apocalyptic results.
Where is the talk of British spirit and perseverance, the optimism that crushed fascism and sent Hitler packing deep into his bunker?
Now a sensible person would stockpile lots of paracetamol and ibuprofen. You know, things that can help you if you catch the virus. A slightly more paranoid person may stockpile long-life food. Not exactly needed, but not totally out of the question. So why are people stockpiling toilet paper when you can survive perfectly well without it?
The psychologists have the answer. It’s control. The mass hysteria and panic has left the public with a feeling of lack of control.

With the false perception that humanity will have to resort to foraging and hunting for food and sundry items, having a huge stock of toilet paper will be what will separate these people from the animals. The situation is under control again because the household will have toilet paper through thick and thin. They’re still humans, and still live the high class life.
Of course, it is all a load of rubbish. Even if there was a completely unlikely chance of an apocalyptic scenario, toilet paper is one of the things that people will be able to survive without just fine. But it’s too buried in the human mind to be able to overcome with sense and rationality.
It’s time to embrace the British spirit of blistering efficiency, coolness of mind, heart and spirit and ferocious tenacity. That’s what will get us through.

GYMS, AND CINEMAS SHUT DOWN
On another momentous day, the Prime Minister said cinemas, nightclubs, theatres, gyms and leisure centres should close their doors from Friday night to slow the spread of Covid-19 and prevent the NHS being overwhelmed by new cases.
The move was supported by the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
At his daily Downing Street press conference, Mr Johnson acknowledged the ban – which also covers betting shops and casinos – went against “the freedom-loving instincts of the British people”.
But he said the measures were needed to achieve the 75% reduction in “unnecessary” social gatherings required to have an impact on the infection rate.
“We are going to defeat this disease with a huge national effort to slow the spread by reducing unnecessary social contact,” he said.

BRITAIN partially embraced socialism this week. The state will now pay peoples wages and bail out struggling companies in one of the craziest weeks in British political history.
The big bosses of some of Britian’s biggest companies are under fire… BILLIONAIRE Richard Branson is moaning about paying his Virgin Atlantic staff and Britannia Hotels and Cineworld has laid off thousands of staff – calling for boycotts.
In unprecedented times, I have realised that Capitalism failed us when we needed it most – the supermarkets are empty, companies have laid of thousands of workers, the economy failed and the stock market crashed – the Capitalist system simply cannot handle a mass health crisis.
In times when we needed to come together – the one thing that is the norm in Capitalist society… GREED, has actually failed us.
After thirty years of being told that ‘Greed is Good’ we are now seeing that it doesn’t really matter how much money you have, because if you can’t buy food and toilet roll… then you may aswell wipe your arse with a couple of pinkies.
I’m a die-hard Capitalist – I used to believe that the free market was the only way – but the Coronavirus pandemic has revealed the deep flaws in the system – it’s not just panic buying causing problems… theres also an issue in the food supply and the Government needs to sort it out before we see riots at Supermarkets, that is not good for anyone.
My mother, a care worker is telling daily that she can’t buy food for the people she cares for, and for herself. There is not enough food in the shops.
She goes to Work caring for adults with special needs but when she goes to Asda after her shift, there is no food on the shelves, there is no bread. There is no pasta, milk.
She’s been to three different supermarkets on a daily basis… and each one is the same.
There’s a food crisis and it’s down to both our own individual greed and problems in the supply chain.
“There’s nothing in my cupboards,” she told me crying down the phone last night. I tried to help by looking on Amazon Prime Now – even that is having an issue with delivery slots blocked for days, I’m now sharing our food.
My neighbour told me she went to Asda the other day and “there’s not even an egg on the shelves”
The system has crashed around our very eyes – and none of us could ever imagine this and temporarily, the state will have to step in.
But what happens after the pandemic is over? Do we return to the old way? Or will this change Britain forever?
It is something all of us will have to debate at the right time. There is no right or wrong answer at the minute.

Still sweating and telling her about the kids and how much they loved the event and I was telling her about someone next to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was moaning why didn ’ t they stay away ?
They are being a wee bit irresponsible , don ’ t you think !
My daughter teasingly said you ’ ve got the coronavirus mum !
” “ Tuesday 10th I woke up with a sore throat .
A dry sore throat .
Watched news ….382 affected .
That means epidemiological rounding it up it ’ s about 4000 if you 10x 382 .
Some say its 20x being an accurate estimate meant over 8000 hit with this novel ( new ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 38.5 on the thermometer felt really hot .
Throat felt like a foam round pillow was in my throat with a tiny amount of air filtering through the holes.
” “ I called 111 and it took 90 minutes to answer .
“ Sorry we have been very busy with the coronavirus.
” I then walked through it all .
I was told its too early to say what you are suffering but a temperature and sore throat are Covid -19 symptoms .
Self isolate for seven days and if anything changes call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my temperature again it was now 36.7 !
It had went down much to my amazement .
But it did not last as it creeped back up .
Reminded me of the hot flushes I had during the menopause , so familiar .
Except back then my core temperature did not go up and down .
Sleepless night as my mouth and throat got DRIER .
Halfway through the night I was getting into difficulty .
My throat felt as if it was closing up .
My mouth was like that feeling you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We all know that feeling !
I thought logically what ’ s going on ?
Went on Google and came across info on salivary glands shutting down causing these symptoms .
The most interesting cause is autoimmune disorder Lupus and is rare in any viruses , but is listed as a symptom .
I end up sipping water from a straw all night to moisten the throat and keep me from dehydrating .
Morning arrives I got two hours sleep .
All my mucus membranes are bone dry .
No mucus , phlegm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It gradually gets stronger and stronger .
Until I am having coughing fits and my head is about to explode .
I have been using my reliever inhaler as I have cough variant asthma and this looks like an extended version that no matter how many puffs I took it went on unabated .
I am sweating , temperature going up and down , from my normal 36.5 up to 39.5 , coughing incessantly , throat constantly needing the drip , drip of the straw , then my whole body becomes like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hold my weight .
I end up crawling into the bathroom and back to bed all night long .
I am wore out with it and I feel like death is coming for me .
This goes on right through the night , it ’ s bizarre and you really need to experience it to appreciate how bad it is .
Unlucky for some it ’ s now Friday 13th of March and now 798 are affected .
So round it up to 800 and 10x means really 8,000 or 20x equals 16,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soldier on then I remember I have not eaten since Monday .
That can ’ t be right ?
My digestion has been switched off too .
I did not feel hungry .
I knew I had to eat and as I live alone I realised if someone was here they ’ d make me sip some soup , eat a sandwich but I was too into the symptoms to realise if I did not eat this would take me .
But strangely I did not really care .
I had no strength @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some tangerines .
Squeeze them into my mouth and try to swallow it .
That was my enforced diet for the next few days apart from water .
Family and friends text as I say I can ’ t call as using my voice triggers it plus I ’ d not be much of a conversation .
I played brave , it ’ s ok I am fine , yea I ’ ve had something to eat .
All of Friday was a blur .
The hours just flew by .
It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Time Machine and I watched night become day then day become night .
My bed had become a vehicle driving fast through time .
It ’ s Saturday March 14 and I thought it must end soon but no end in sight .
I am exhausted .
My pyjama trousers keep falling down as I ’ ve lost so much weight and still I see no urge to eat .
I have those fizzy vitamin C tablets .
I have one every few hours .
Anything to see if it will help .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ I might be dead by now as the toll this takes on your body is like no other flu I ’ ve ever had before .
Still NO MUCUS , PHLEGM , SNEEZING .
No use for all that toilet paper everyone is buying .
Then I hear my dog Alfie start coughing .
Oh no he has caught it I shout out .
I watched Witney in Eastenders tonight ( Tues 17 March ) and I can recognise that hallucinating state now .
Hearing people from the past scream in your ear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waking dreams on the ceiling .
Even lack of food it was killing me .
This bastard of a virus had me by the short and curlies I thought but they keep saying get to day seven and call back .
Sunday 18 my temperature settles a bit at 37.5 few times I took it , still slightly up .
I had optimism as the cough settles down to a kind of bark .
Not as incessant , headache abating….is this the end ?
Am I hallucinating that I am getting better ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ mind by this time .
The first grumble of my stomach , I now feel hungry .
I get up to try to stand and it ’ s like when Jesus told Lazarus to get up from his deathbed .
As quick as it came it goes .
I grudgingly take out a piece of ham and shove it between two slices of bread and eat .
Gingerly at first .
Then I get ice cream from the freezer .
Eat nearly half the tub then eat three ice lollies .
Why didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things during the crisis ?
Simply the reason was I wasn ’ t hungry .
Like even my mind was making me give up .
The temperature levelled out 37 and I have a barking cough .
Night came and a rush of mucus rushed down my throat at last my salivary glands were working again .
But a new problem has cropped up since – I have a bacterial lung infection .
The virus opened my immune system so that any bacteria could get in and take a hold .
Telling thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at the back of my throat .
What colour was it ?
I replied like yellow .
She said lightly , emm… viral .
I looked it up and it said when the throat is too dry , yellow colouring means bacteria have taken a hold .
Bingo it all making sense .
Sunday night I start to get wheezy suddenly .
Is this the second wave ?
The mucus won ’ t stop now .
Am I drowning in my own liquid ?
I call 111 as I can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by then .
90 minute wait again .
Anxiety setting in as I am on last puffs of my inhaler .
Call adviser answers and states I ’ ll pass you onto a GP within the hour .
On the hour the GP calls .
I describe everything that has happened .
I can hear her like ticking things and seeming to be reading from a page .
I say what about my breathing ?
I say to her is this the pattern of coronavirus ?
She goes silent .
She says you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a clinical diagnosis we cant say for sure ?
I reply what about the test ?
Can ’ t I have the test to see if I am safe ?
She gets annoyed saying those are only used by people in hospital .
So they were in hospital getting treated but I ’ ve to put up with a ‘ probable ’ cause of my symptoms alone , dehydrated , thinner , breathing shallow and fast .
I have one other doctor who will call within another hour for the final diagnosis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the two doctors must agree that it is or isn ’ t the virus ?
On the hour again and by this time its 5am .
I am exhausted though everyone who knows me will tell you I only sleep three hours in every 24 .
But coronavirus was taking me .
It was like rounds in a boxing match .
The wee referee was staring into my face as I lie on that bed , like Robinson Crusoe on his island .
She goes through the same questioning like before and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it all written down ?
Why am I answering all the same questions ?
But it ’ s the new Scottish government protocol since this new Covid-19 started .
As I ponder this stupid questioning , like a policeman asking for a witness statement .
Next thing I hear is ‘ I am giving you antibiotics for the lung infection.
’ I can hear it but my brain is trying to catch up .
I ’ ll fax a prescription to your pharmacy and someone can pick it up later for you this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ method of detection that only relies on testing anyone sick enough to be taken to hospital .
When a person calls it looks like they tick box if you fit the criteria .
I was told without a test I am classed as a ‘ Probable ’ victim of Covid-19 .
I then get drowsy and drift off to sleep .
Monday 18th March I wake feeling better , more normal except the cough which is just a grunt now .
Temperature and throat settled , muscles gaining strength .
I sleep on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carries on .
The mucus , fluid is more than a normal lung infection .
I fear is there another round to go ?
Its Tuesday 19th March and I am lying in my trusty , beautiful bed thanking God for keeping me here .
I slept so much yesterday I can ’ t sleep so I decided , how many people write down what has happened to them ?
Only people like me who write most probably ?
So here is my testimony of surviving up until now……The Covid – 19 virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ maybe 20,000 or 40,000 .
That ’ s a really big jump from when I started my Coronavirus journey .
One week has went by and the numbers have jumped from shy of 400 to 2000 .
But just double or treble that number and reality sets in .
We need to do what the scientific advisers are saying .
Isolate , quarantine and don ’ t be greedy in the shops .
People buying baby ’ s milk powder for their tea .
Isn ’ t that just callous ?
I feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ takes place .
We need to stop the pettiness and try to save as many people as we can….I ’ m starting with the ( wo ) man in the mirror .
Disclaimer : My symptoms and chronology of how Covid -19 affected me might be different for you .
But I just wanted to show how I walked about for a week and did not know I was possibly carrying this virus .

Angela has broke many stories and is one of our most valued assets – she shares her story to warn others to stay home – she’s staying away from her grandchildren and has warned others to stay inside.
Angela told us that it all began on March 1st “I awoke with sore hips and legs, like fatigue. But my joints were definitely affected as when I walked it was painful. ”
“I thought it’s my mattress it’s too hard so I ordered a topper. This fatigue was so evident and a sign of what was to come but I wasn’t aware back then. I plodded on feeling not quite right taking paracetamol and nurofen for the hip pain. ”
WATCH : HEARTBREAKING MOMENT OUR VERY OWN TOLD HER DAUGHTER TO STAY AWAY AFTER CONTRACTING KILLER BUG
“Fast forward to March 8th I remember suddenly, I mean suddenly feeling hot going to bed that night.”
“The new mattress topper was on and yet again I thought now I am too hot.”
“Is this going to give me grief now? That day we were at an event in a theatre with about 200 families. I was sitting thinking, what if someone here has the coronavirus and we all get it? Little did I know I was patient 0 sitting there! ”
“Next day I was out at the shops with my daughter. Still sweating and telling her about the kids and how much they loved the event and I was telling her about someone next to us coughing at the event.”
“I was moaning why didn’t they stay away? They are being a wee bit irresponsible, don’t you think! My daughter teasingly said you’ve got the coronavirus mum!”
“Tuesday 10th I woke up with a sore throat. A dry sore throat. Watched news ….382 affected. That means epidemiological rounding it up it’s about 4000 if you 10x 382. Some say its 20x being an accurate estimate meant over 8000 hit with this novel (new) flu virus”
