Site Supporter Winchester White Posted October 4, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2020 Eldest has come down with man flu; sore throat, blocked nose and usual high temp with shivers. That's us now having to book a test for him just in case and us all isolating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted October 4, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2020 Wife has similar. No sore throat though. Also turned her nose up at the hot toddy I made her so I know her /smelltaste is still intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But better safe than sorry but she was trying to get people to stop going for tests with cold like symptoms Edited October 4, 2020 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, am I a cunt for making him take a test and wasting valuable resource or a cunt for ignoring advice and potentially spreading Covid?

Got the sore throat and high temp getting tested is absolutely not irresponsible IMO. Irrespective of the other symptoms. Even if the likelyhood is a negative. Let’s have it right, if it’s flu going out could still spread that virus instead right? Better safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better safe than sorry High temp/fever is one of the key indicators so perfectly reasonable to get a test. This time of year its inevitable that such instances will arise.

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted October 4, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2020 Numbers will continue to rise, In a nutshell 1/1000 of the country has tested positive this week (69k positives this week) The 500k positive tests so far mean that roughly 1 in 140 people have had it. Obv the numbers in reality will be much higher, due to a-sympomatic, immunity and non-tested Long way to go to herd immunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year its inevitable that such instances will arise. We’ve hit RSV season. Respiratory Syncitial Virus. I spent 8 years working with the Neonatal Intensive Care Units on this. This runs every year from September to March. Adults get anything from a bunged up nose to a bad cold. Kids get thick sticky shite pouring out their noses and a bad cough. Premature babies end up in ICU Add this in to the usual flu and it’s normally manageable. This winter is going to be horrendous imo. Who’s got what and who reports what? Can easily see us being overwhelmed in terms of symptom reporting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only China (lying bastards), USA, India & Russia (more lying bastards) have tested more than UK. Doesn't seem that long ago that folk were moaning about UK being shit at testing....... 8/10.....
