Yes it's a worry Sparkles. Hopefully all contacts can be traced and any further spread knocked on the head. Take care!

Take it easy mate - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it is just man flu.

Did they give you any idea how long you need to wait for the results?

Your symptoms are too severe for man flu. I hope you've seen a doctor as well as having the covid-19 test.

When I had the test a few months back, the results were back inside 24 hours so it was an easy isolation and then back to work - obviously it was negative. Fingers crossed it's just man flu Steve.

Got a very nice negative this morning, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved. Still feel like crap though, ti.e to catch up on lost sleep and hopefully feel better

Media - Explosion In Deadly Virus Cluster!!!

Reality - 20 cases, mostly low risk who may not be positive anyway

Government - Shut the borders, isolate, tank the economy further

Me - Still working from home, lovely jubbly.

Yep, yet more Kung Flu overreaction - but a malleable, cowed and compliant population are enabling it - aided by other peoples money thrown at us

I'm doing 3 days a week at home, which I like, but there is talk of it becoming 5 days - which I don't. If we never have to go into the office then 'we' could just as well be in Manila or London or Auckland
