Corvid 19 Testing 13:30 - Mar 22 with 1036 views | Basuco | I heard a doctor on 5 Live saying the UK strategy on testing is focusing on developing a test to see if a person has had the virus at any time rather than have you got it now, they hope to set up drive through testing centre's run by the army. I actually think that this approach will be more useful moving forward. | | | | |

Antibody testing will be a big part of the solution in coming months with the caveat that it's proven that having Covid-19 imparts immunity (which is the general consensus at the moment).

Corvid 19 Testing on 15:46 - Mar 22 with 887 views | Leaky | My partner is convinced she had the virus around Christmas. One of her colleges' went home for a holiday on the way back to Blighty she stopped off in Singapore. Apparently a Chinese family she sat next to in a restaurant were coughing. She passed the bug around the residential home they work in, my partner was off sick for a week, which extremely rare for her. Three residents died in the time she was off so testing as proof that you have had this virus would be very beneficial. | | | |

Had never had 'flu before in my life, but in mid-Dec I did - so bad that I rang 111 which I'd never done before. My own GP happened to be on duty & assured me that it was just a virus, maybe even a watered-down version of 'flu as I'd had the jab in Nov. Lasted about 7-10 days, was OK by Christmas Eve. Had been in LGI for 24 hrs the week before, so maybe it came from there. | |

Most people class a heavy cold as flu hence the term man flue. Uncertain times we live in. | | | |

It was the nausea, inability to eat or be out of bed for more than 30 mins at a time which were different for me. | |
