Well if you test positive, and have to give the names of contacts, they are only the ones that you have been in very close contact with. 

That is - Less that a metre for 15 minutes or more. 

That suggests it would be very unlikely that you would catch the virus from passing a runner or cyclist.

Have any of you sent for a home test for Covid-19, they are free and results in about 48 hours,
There are so many symptoms to watch for now,it could be anything,
Also i read this morning that the US has bought almost all the worlds Remdesivir  anti viral medicine
I think by the numbers of people diagnosed with covid they still might not have enough
There will be none for England, Ireland ,or Scotland
Luckily we have the other medication, can't remember the name, except begins with B

I have the Zoe app on my phone - the university that is doing the research into local outbreaks and seeing if they can  predict cases from symptoms listed. I've so far had two tests because they;ve sent me for a test when I've had various symptoms (like headaches) even though not covid! One was posted and the other was drive through (didn't get on with the home test as couldn't do the throat swab properly without massvie gag!)

Sorry i said began with a B ,i think it is Dexamethasone, i sent for a home test as did my daughter,she got hers back in 48 hours,still waiting for mine,it will be 5 days tomorrow,
I don't have a temperature or anything except a cough,  and headache sometimes,and getting out of breath sometimes,
Now had 2 panic attacks as i felt i couldn't breathe, but it wears off,so assuming they ARE panic attacks
Had another one this morning, awful feeling, still just wearing offI felt fine when i woke up and it suddenly came on, couldn't take a deep breath
I don't want to ring 911,should i ring the test centre i wonder

The papers have said Birmingham will be next on lockdown. ( if it's true) just like Leicester.
Just as my son goes back to work too. ☹️
So we'll wait and see. 🤷‍♀️

Well i decide to ring the test centre, was asked if registered,i said yes,over the phone as couldn't click on the email link, the lady said might not have registered, asked my details again, she said if it can't be traced will need to do another,and yet on the instructions says if symptoms are past day 6 don't do the test,too late
I did see on TV the other day that some home tests had been lost,knowing my luck mine will be one of them

[CLKD]

Yep.  The cynic in me says that when they have their daily quota of tests ....... my sister is in the care sector and out of 15 staff/clients tested, 7 were lost - swabbed by the NHS!

[jaycee]

After ringing to find out where my results were,i got a text and email about 20 minutes later saying negative

That's good.

Maybe I'm being a bit thick here but I don't understand the latest ?face masks might become mandatory in shops?? But you are ok to spend hours in the pub without one? All seems a bit daft.

[CLKD]

That's in Scotland 

[Blot]

No apparently Boris is thinking about introducing it in England too.

[Hurdity]

Bit difficult to eat and drink in a mask
