Covid question

Covid question. Thanks for all the replies. According to NHS Scotland (masks remain strongly advisable here still),I’m on day 7 of being infectious although symptoms started on Sunday (day 3) . Sore throat slightly better. Coughing slightly more often and this is very deep and a bit sore. Temp and oxygen levels have been fine and thankfully AFib hasn’t kicked in again but we never know. Also we can isolate from each other in the house except when my meals arrive at the bedroom door! I’m very lucky. Thanks again.

It sounds like you're being well looked after jd2004. Yes, masks are still advised to be worn in Scotland until mid April I believe. The outbreak there has been awful hasn't it, the rest of the UK is not much better either. Did you have the 3 jabs against covid?

To be honest I think I'm going to be cautious, but am not going to worry about catching it, whatever will be, will be. I think the sooner we've all had it, then hopefully the high rates will drop and we can get back to a normal life again. The only place I go from my home is food shopping and meeting up with a few friends at my house or theirs, they are as cautious about mixing as me.

I hope you're soon feeling better again.

Thanks. All through this I have been getting Asda online shopping, clothes shopping and Amazon deliveries. A new way of doing things which I’m going to keep doing. I can trace this to a short visit to a book shop!

A friend had covid last week, she has put it down to visiting a small local supermarket. Honestly, we don't know what to do for the best do we! I have some friends in their mid 80s, I took them a box of LFT tests ages ago. I know they have not used it once and probably never will.

I do all my clothes shopping online now too, though I think it's sad that shops have had to close.

Hope you will soon test negative and be let out of your bedroom! 😊

Thanks for making us aware of how covid has made you feel.
