One of the nurses , 40 years old, that works with my wife in child pediatric services, ( my wife does the admin organising the clinics ), she actually lives next to us and was confirmed as having it 3 weeks ago. She could hardly get out of bed for a week, felt totally knackered , ached all over, extremely bad headaches, no breathing problems. She says she feels fine now, no lasting effects.[/size]The other person I know that is confirmed is still in hospital, an old biking mate , 62 years old, that moved down south is still in hospital. Been in for over two weeks , not ventilated but on oxygen all the time, his wife says he doesn't seem to get any etter or worse. He suffers from copd, is very over weight,, high blood pressure.
Are you getting tested out of curiosity

VNA, I think the 3 to 5 day testing advice was correct until recently as now the push seems to be getting as many people tested as possible.
still here and getting a wee bit pissed off, now that all the outstanding jobs have been attended to plus a couple of wee projects done.
Anyway, got my Covid 19 test results back and it was negative . But what bug did I have then?Had dry cough, headache, muscle and joint pain and temp was 37.8, ( not sure how accurate thermometer is though ) , all meant to be symptoms of Covid 19.Wonder how many people have had those symptoms, thought they had Covid 19 but haven't ?

Good news . Most likely culprit is the flu. More good news is your are talking in the past tense. Here’s a thought. Many (untested) people who say they have had Covid19 may have had the flu. Most people who say they have the flu have a cold. The last time I had the flu it scared the shit out of me and I now take a flu jab every year.

The last time I had the flu it scared the shit out of me and I now take a flu jab every year.I also thought I'd had the flu a few times in the past until I got it 2 years ago,I couldn't believe how bad I felt,I actually thought I had pneumonia! at times I swear you could ring the sheets out and next minute you were freezing cold and so weak I couldn't get out of bed.When the quack said I'd had the flu I didn't believe him,I never thought it was that bad and obviously never had it before.I also have the flu jab now,never want that again.
Thanks darrsi. Good first hand report
