Totally unscientific view from Worksop, there were a hell of a lot more cars on the road today. May be they didn't have to worry about Skype going "Inactive".
Anyway back on topic,
While I was bed ridden with this disease, it was a good opportunity to do some monitoring.
Temperature peaked at 100.2 when I was feeling the roughest
What was really interesting was to see how it affected blood pressure. I have an Omron M7 blood pressure monitor that connects to phone and then syncs into the Apple health app.
My blood pressure is typically 116-120 / 70-80 which is normal
At my roughest it was 160 / 100 ( not terribly high, but still quite a jump)
Symptoms were similar to a bad case of Flu, Fever, headache, aches and real fatigue. Not much of a cough, but was short of breath at my roughest.
So in reality had it pretty mild, but it still sucked

That's very fortunate you must be in the upper echelon of society, I know NHS staff, teachers and police officers who are on the front line and have not been tested.
I had all the symptoms about a month ago, I think I must of been lucky as I was still able to go to work and the gym ect, probably passed it on quite a bit as I just thought it was a normal cold/flu bug which are quite common at this time of year.

Blood is being screened now

I’ve been off work since Friday and bed ridden, temperature of 39 at its highest and a banging headache. Not sure if it’s the virus or I brought it on as I was getting crazy stressed about the situation. I work in a shop and customers just won’t keep their distance from you

Plus my girlfriend has Lupus and is on immuno suppressants. I asked if they could test it and they said it would automatically be tested as blood is being screened. I was a high risk of catching it due to using public transport.
If she gets it, it could kill her. I can’t risk that

But you just seem to think it is related to the common cold.
Covid-19 is the name of the disease. The official name of the virus that causes it is SARS-COV-2.
That is not to make people panic but to make people sensible.
According to sources in the know, we are probably going to peak with the most contagious of people middle of this week because most people infected should have gone through the 14 day incubation period, so infected people will increase and then it should start to decrease, but if people continue to ignore the advice of medical professionals because they believe they know better then it is just going to make matters worse

Now to bore you with some biology lessons.
SARS Coronavirus 2 has been detected in Urine, Faeces, Blood, Mucus, saliva etc, so it is through these methods it can be transmitted.
So for gods sake, youtubers stop videoing yourselves licking toilet bowls

That's not looking good odds if you end up in the medical tent is it.
