Anyone here tested positive for Covid-19?

Diesel95 · 36-40, MVIP
Yup and I was on a ventilator for three days

@4meAndyou That is what I meant I'm clueless

@Stereoguy I say you best thank god you have never been through it
iMystery · M
@Diesel95 😳 Its scary that you don't even know how you got it in the first place.

I don't leave home without a mask and always have hand sanitizer wherever I go, but somehow I get the feeling this is not enough.

I wish I could just never go outside, but sometimes I really don't have a choice, so I'm kinda paranoid and hyperaware of surfaces I touch and keeping my distance from others.

No. But I can't wait to be tested. I reckon most in our county had it in January & February.
dondon · M
@Valentine They are not surveys, either random sampling or blood work anlysis, so they give an acurate representation. Selective would be taking a very small group like an army unit and testing that only. Also your argument doesn't make any sense [quote]Unchecked, this virus will race through any and every collection of people[/quote] That is the point, only a small portion has had it so if left unchecked a lot more will get it.

@Valentine i think it was rife here before they are telling us too. I was bad with my athsma and throat just before xmas...and my husband was so poorly over xmas and new year...the worst ive ever seen him.

My sister in law tested positive...but is back in work now. I have 2 friends who have left lost parents x

@Valentine It would be interesting if there was an antibody test to see who had had it already. It could have been circulating for a while before being properly identified.

I haven’t but one of my Uncles in Hong Kong was and through the fantastic efforts of the Doctors and Nurses pulled through successfully 🙂
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@purplepen Thank you - you keep safe as well🙂🇭🇰🎎🐼
iMystery · M
@Dlrannie Glad is he good and well!
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@iMystery Yep he’s fine now🙂
My best friend has. She is in the police.she is ok, did not need to be hospitalised but has been isolated in her flat for 8 weeks now
@iMystery we saw her start of march and none of us or anyone else around us has been ill.

Another friend has had it with her family but we have not seen each other in a long while.
iMystery · M
@InOtterWords In that case it sounds like it has been more than 14 days already since having contact and none of you have any symptoms, so I think you are safe lol.
@iMystery I think so xx

I would not get tested. Have you seen how far they jam the super long Q-Tip up your nose? 😨
Peaceful · F
@Pretzel ;)
Crazy, ain't it?
Pretzel · 61-69, M
@Peaceful just saw that the u.s. government is going to shut down some of the idiot companies that are selling bogus test kits

the creeps come out of the woodwork don't they?
Peaceful · F
@Pretzel the CDC kits were sent out faulty at least 3 times that I know of. And they wouldn't allow any other kits to be used. 80% inaccurate...I wonder if they still are.
4meAndyou · F
Nope. We have had such severe shortages of test kits here in the USA that only people who have serious symptoms are being tested. The first week of March, I was pretty sure I had a very mild case of it, and I self quarantined just from common sense and followed CDC directives.

You know, that guy over there...

we're all socially isolating from him..🤪
iMystery · M
@SW-User Lol yeah I see him.
@SW-User I'm not contagious dammit
SW-User
Not me, but today my town has covid-19 testing available for anyone who wants it even if you don't have symptoms so it'll be interesting to see if anyone in town has it. So far it hasn't come to my town yet ...as far as we know.
SW-User
@Stereoguy Thanks, yeah the plan is for everyone to be tested regularly so that they can track any new cases more easily.
purplepen · 51-55, F
@SW-User OK, that sounds great, but there have been some problems with contaminated testing kits.
SW-User
@purplepen That would be a worry. As far as I’ve heard the test kits here are ok.
JoePourMan · 61-69, M
I don't even know anyone one that has been tested
TexChik · F
I don’t know anyone that has
iMystery · M
@TexChik Strangely neither do I.... with the way this virus is spreading I would have expected more people on here to have known someone who tested positive.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I haven't been tested.
Miklee02 · 51-55, F
Nopers 🙃
No.I don’t know anyone who has either.We need to start easing restrictions.
@RubySoo and it seems the assembly and the UK government are now at war.The big speech this Sunday,which the whole country will see,will only be about easing lockdown in England.The Assembly have as good as said they will not be changing anything.After getting all optimistic I am now extremely depressed again. @dondon
It has been a lot longer than a month now and I can’t live like this.I have just about
reached the point where I hope I get it and expire.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales arrrh hunni...please dont say that. We needyouhere with us....now....and when this is all over. XX
Nyloncapes · 61-69, M
@TheSirfurryanimalWales don't think there will be much easing down here in England, not like the papers are saying
SW-User
I haven't but I've lost two friends to it so I hope I don't
iMystery · M
@revenant Great! Stay safe.
