XTreme Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 The trouble with all this is that many people including myself will never know whether they had it or not . I've still got a fierce headache and a dry cough but I never had a sore throat . I'm currently off work and following government guidelines regarding self isolation . What really fills me with dread is the prospect that I haven't had it yet and I've got more discomfort and misery to come . It's all very worrying and depressing . The offer is still open from [mention]Six30[/mention] as I understand it Bob!And let's be honest.....you could spin it as embracing the Harley lifestyle!

onesea Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What's the details on your case.....how ill did it make you? Age? Do you know how and where you got it?Not had it but do wonder had 2 days of sick for first time in 3 years in this job and other than that probably 20 years..Thing that was different was a massive headache and feeling light headed.... Didn't check temperature, cough was productive but that is not uncommon for me a productive cough. The suggestion was merely out of interest because someone here may of had it by from what he said.

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @XTreme I am guessing you created this poll, maybe you at some point could update it with more options.1) Yes confirmed & recovered -statistically its going to happen to one of us,2) Presently self-Isolating,and maybe 3) I suspect I might of had it.. A simpler version might be:DeadNot dead ........yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Some improvement today , temperature seems to be stable again , headache reduced and the cough is a little looser . So from when I felt the first symptoms it's been a week now . I still have no idea whether I've had Corona or not and I suppose I never will .

Smithers Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It's getting worse around my area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grbSQ6O6kbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't know if it's totally true but it's reported that in Madrid 19 residents of a single care home have died of this disease so no, it's not flu FFS. It's a wee bit nastier. There's 8 members of my family who are in the highest risk category so I'm not that blasé about it. Still planning to ride my bike on Saturday though.

fastbob Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Any update on @fastbob's condition? Not so good . I've hardly eaten a thing all day because everything just tastes weird . As long as I breathe really shallow I can avoid having to cough . But once I start coughing it goes on and on until I start to feel light headed . My head hurts like hell when I cough too . I've never known anything like this . So I've actually taken a turn for the worse . It really hurts to swallow as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds unfortunately like COVID-19.If breathing gets worse get yourself on the phoneGood luck hope it starts to clear soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 looked in to the mortgage 3 month holiday , thought that'll pay for another holiday a 3 month break will put mortgage payments up about £18 a month for the term of the mortgage to cover interest. which in my case will cost me over £2000 they wont add the extra 3 months on at the end of mortgage so payments would stay the same... alright it will help people now with whats going on but its going to cost em.
