This was put to the doc on the Lorraine show or GMb ( he was on both) he said yes. If your household has been isolating and have been well and someone else gets ill you all have to isolate again.

No offence to the Doc on Lorain, but can the Goverment be clear on what this policy is on the .gov website.

Crazy that this isn’t explained clearly. Like I said, we have gen 1 people who are ready to come back to work.

No

From what I have read the answer is effectively Yes.

While no one can never say never it’s clear the science suggests that unless it significantly mutates or you are immunocompromised then you will develop a permanent immune response during recovery.

Therefore it’s currently highly unlikely that you can catch this specific version of the virus twice....or to be more precise your immune system will swiftly deal with it if you encounter it again.

There also appears to have only been a single recorded case of someone having it twice and that case is easily explained by a counting for a number of factors (basically it’s believed that actually she only had it once).


All just from the various sources I’ve read so sure there might be other stuff out there that might suggest otherwise...

I was in a crisis meeting with our senior management and department heads the other day. I suggested that with employees permission we should run a list of who'd had the virus and recovered and suggested we used them first when we start coming out of hibernian to give those who haven't an extended period of protection. The company's doctors reply sent chills down my spine. He was of the opinion that those who'd recovered may be susceptible to other strains and the more re-infections people got the more the virus will weaken their immune system making them more vulnerable.

[Jay]

Anybody think theyve had it and recovered without treatment?

[patch1875]

I think I’ve had it. Possibly too early as it was mid/late December but I drive occasionally for Uber and picked up many Chinese tourists.

quickly onset of full blown flu symptoms and the dry cough, lasted about a week started to feel better but a few days later it kicked off again which forced me to the docs. Suspected kidney infection but that was clear so they thought prostate infection(I had peeing issues)

Daughter also had a fever and cough at the same time but mild and over within a few days.

or maybe it was just the normal flu?

Yes.

The numbers of patients who've shown signs of a second infection after recovering from the virus are so minimal and the information so unreliable that its at this point extremely unlikely.

Bit of a cough today and when I breathe out I have that chesty wheeze noise. would not say its a dry cough as such.

Ive been like that since yesterday with a slight temp. If i take a deep breath i end up in a coughing fit . We went into full isolation from this morning.

[Keith_M]

I actually have a number of the symptoms but can't get a test, so don't know for sure.

I have some underlying health conditions as well, but there are more serious cases that will just have to be treated first.

I have no complaints with that, as there are people much worse off than me.

Deliberate? Or a Freudian Slip?

My household is currently in the don't know camp.

Fiance had a bit of a sore throat starting on Monday afternoon, by the evening she was coughing and her temp peaked at about 38.2. By Tuesday the cough was much more frequent and she said she felt quite crap. Wednesday and yesterday was much the same, temp was back to normal but coughing was more frequent again . Today she feels better but is still coughing albeit less so. I've had a scratchy throat since Wednesday and am coughing infrequently, have felt a bit achy and cold but checked my temp and it's well within the range of normal. Daughter is neither up nor down and is full of energy.

I don't even feel as bad as I do with a heavy cold and I'm still able to do things about the house albeit I am a bit tired. It would be good to know one way or another but I'm leaning towards the 'something else' camp.

I reckon you missus is in the definitely got / had it camp. Therefore you and the wee one should be in lockdown.

My sister-in-law is a Nurse in London and has been floored by it. She keeps having false dawns then relapses. She’s feeling ***** today. She’s out the other end of the 7 days but still has symptoms.

Her doctor is telling her to continue to wait it out.

Criteria for coming back to work (to get a test) is 72hrs without symptoms. She’s well off that day.

She’s been told once she is back she will be in the testing unit. Believe it or not she’s looking forward to getting back to it.

We're all following the isolation rules.

Fiance is off work for at least 7 days from yesterday which is when she was first due in after first showing symptoms. The other 2 of us will be doing the recommended timescales as well.

[Jay]

Im still pretty much the same, dry cough, slight temp, heavy chest and a bit sore but all very mild. Im on day 3 of isolation, id say symptoms probably started 4 days ago. Im doubtful this is it but treating it as if it is.

[Hibby70]

My family were all pretty poorly in December, worst being my son who ended up in intensive care with suspected pneumonia. He had been coughing for about a week but not producing any fluid and then got a really high temperature on Hogmanay and was rushed to hospital.

Spent a week on a ventilator and I remember the doctor's being a bit bemused by his symptoms.

Now wondering if it was covid19. Probably was just pneumonia but would be good to know.

[Coco Bryce]

My wife has it. She brought it back from Copenhagen ten days ago we think. Dry constant cough with wheezy tight chest. She also has a temperature but is constantly complaining of feeling freezing.

That's pretty much where I am. Paracetamol seem to help quite rapidly.

Yep me too but i have the window open all the time too as i need fresh air.

[The Harp Awakes]

Think I caught it after spending a weekend in London/Kent in early March. Was on and off public transport so probably picked it up there. Felt cr@p for a week, sore throat, heavy chest, persistent dry cough and chest pains when breathing.

Improved last week but this week, tight chest again, short of breath and coughing up green phlegm constantly. Feeling better yesterday and today.

Not really had a fever though and never felt really ill, so still not 100% sure it was covid-19.

Pretty sure some of the advice indicated the cough would not bring up phlegm if covid.

Aye, I think that's right for the virus itself but it can then develop into a chest infection with phlegm etc.

The big problem of couse is that the symptoms of covid-19 are so similar to other standard viruses, nobody can really be sure if they've got it or had it previously.

Ok yep as you say very similar to the common cold, flu and chest infections.

I think I might have it. Gutted if I do as not been out the house since Saturday night except a doctors appointment on Tuesday. Other than doctor I've only been in contact with my wife and kids so had hoped it had passed me by. I've a weak immune system along with heart and kidney problems so if this is what it's like on day one, I could be in trouble.

With your issues should you not phone 111 for advice?
