Thanks.
I keep a diary, so I can be accurate in what I say.
Symptoms .........
Over the weekend I felt normal, but on Sunday 1st August evening I felt not as well as normal ......... whatever that is, and I'm only looking back and analysing ..................... Monday morning 2nd August came and I went out into the garden dong some heavy work, but came in after and hour or two to aching and tired. I put it down to age.
Took the dog for a walk and had a couple of beers.
Honestly, two.
When I arrive, I pay for two up front. Always the same, and the staff know and expect it.
Come Monday evening, I went to bed at soon after 7pm. Tired.
Slept on an off until 5am and up as usual early. Often up and having a pot of tea by 05:30 and listening to R4. No difference to normal, but not feeling too chipper.
Tuesday came. Did a bit more outside, and repeated the dog walk and the beers.
Bed very early.
Wednesday, I drove Mrs Mick F to the next village for stuff and she collected a key for a lockup unit. We put stuff into it, and then came home. Other than putting stuff into the unit, I never got out of the car or met any-one.
Dog walk later but for a longer walk as Mrs Mick F dropped us off. Still down to the pub for a couple of beers, and then home.
She met a friend who gave her box of lateral flow test kits.
Bed very early again.
Thursday, I drove up to the railway station to drop Mrs Mick F for trip to Plymouth. I carried on to buy petrol and then drove home. Picked her up at 3pm and went for a beer and then home. Meanwhile she called in at another pub to do with fund raising and raffle stuff.
She had a go at the lateral flow test. She returned negative.
Bed at 9pm.
Friday, today.
Not done much.
She did another test, so I did one too.
She still negative, and me positive.
I saw red!
and found I could get a PCR test in Liskeard, so drove straight out there and had one. 24/36hr for a result.
Came home, and we did a LF test again.
She negative, me still positive.
Meanwhile, I've alerted the Covid app. Anyone who had been near my mobile phone in the last few days will get pinged.
Isn't it strange that Mrs Mick F hasn't been pinged?
Who else isn't/won't be pinged?
How long do these alerts take?
