Much to my surprise (given how careful we have been in our house), we all have Coronavirus! Yuk.
It came via my daughters school, and was thus inevitable I suppose that we would get it.
I thought a quick summary of what happened may be interesting to those who have not had it yet, and a nervous (like I was).
My first clue, was on the Tuesday morning when I could not taste my breakfast, that, and a very mild headache. I worked all Tuesday (from home) and was busy so did not really think much about it.
Wednesday the clues were stacking up, and I felt very cold a lot of the day... still no taste, but no real major issues. It just felt like the start of a cold.
On the Thursday evening I went to bed at 8pm, oh dear... but not before booking a Coronavirus test for the following day at 10am - I thought I would know the worse soon. Thursday night was terrible, vivid dreams, freezing cold and i could not settle to sleep.
Friday was much the same.
By the time my results came in on Saturday afternoon I was feeling much better. The results were Positive for Coronavirus. This is the start of many many text messages and phone calls from Test and Trace. They don't give up.
Sunday I leapt out of bed as usual and have felt fine ever since.
And so my summary is, I had it for probably 3 days of which two were rough. And then it was back to normal. I am 54 so not in the worst part of the age range, but even so the prediction is 12% of people will be hospitalised.
All back to normal now.
