Sorry to hear you've succumbed. I caught it last March and it was just like a cold. Hope you recover quickly. Stay warm and look after yourself 🤗

Similar happened to me but coped with no problem, drink lots of fluids, keep warm and be kind to yourself, rest when your body asks!! ☺️

Hi. I too tested positive last Thursday for the first time after also being very careful. I just thought it was a head cold. I have been offered antivirals and antibiotics but not sure whether I need them. Have you been offered antivirals?

I caught it last year after doing all I could to keep safe. It got to my lungs so I was lucky enough to get an antiviral infusion which stopped my lungs getting any worse.
