Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Turns out my "wobble" on Thursday may be more. Got sent home. Hit me like a freight train when I got in. Sick, upset stomach, and then fought a fever for next 24 hours. Managed to get a test, ironically at Ascot racecourse. Just had a phone call and "inconclusive" so got to go and be retested tomorrow. Been taking paracetamol regularly and fever has reduced but not got dry cough and test tight when I do but hoping that's the strain of throwing up. Blood sugars through the roof too.

Part of me naturally hopes this isn't the virus but it then begs the question what would come on so quickly. One of the main symptoms seems to be sudden onset. Hopefully the test tomorrow will confirm one way or another Been sleeping on and off since Thursday afternoon but thinking may be dehydrated which accounts for the spike in bloods. Any which way not feeling tickety boo but managed to get up and eat a little

Fingers crossed you're OK Homer.
 
There's a real feeling that the current end date for our curfew (4th may) will actually see it being lifted and a return to work with restrictions

No deaths in the last two weeks (although unfortunately one person is reported to be in a bad way) and the total count of 'live' cases is down to just 24 as folks recover
I really hope they're isn't any notable count of unknown cases

It's reported that high temp, high humidity and high UV are killing it off on hard surfaces in short order and we've had plenty of each in the last few weeks

I think they are doing a good job on the contact tracing for the couple of new cases in the last week too, fingers crossed we might get close to eradicating it and with borders currently closed we can control any new cases if these quick tests prove effective when airport reopens
 
Figures for Spain for yesterday just released.

New cases down to 1,729

Deaths down to 288

I accept that these are weekend figures, and we having been seeing a spike on Monday as the some of the (true) weekend numbers come in, but it is the first time the deaths number has been below 300. HOWEVER, we must never lose sight of our humanity and accept that there is another 288 families in terrible pain today.

Stay safe folks.
 
I've only watched a part of this so far but it puts a different view on things. Make up your own minds about what they are saying.

Sounds like food poisoning to me.
