Just tested positive

I've got a soar throat, tight chest and a runny nose. I tested yesterday and it was clear, so assumed it was just a cold/flu. Felt a bit worse this morning, so did another test and I've got 2 lines.

Considering I've not been out in public. I did visit my 90 year old parents on Tuesday (who are both fine) and did give my mum a kiss on the cheek as I left. I'm now worrying about them more than me. [Angry.png]

I did have a few Amazon deliveries but not been in contact with anyone. I guess it is possible I picked it up off a delivery box I suppose although unlikely. This latest mutation must be really contagious, nobody has been isolating more than me.

Re: Just tested positive

get well soon boss........ its now generally accepted that airborne transmission is most likely so likely you picked it up on Tuesday rather than a package. keep safe and hope mum is good too. [Success.png]

Re: Just tested positive

Re: Just tested positive

Take it easy. My cleaner tested positive, was really rough, BM kept calling wanting to know when she would be in. BM had it week before and i had an argument ant out come was it was our fault because we had a job where we couldnt work form home. She did so my cleanr should be in. My cleaner wasnt fit -dropped off shopping to he. Then i get it again as well. no positive test.

Re: Just tested positive

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully your symptoms will be very mild and you will soon be on the road to recovery.

I returned to work 3 days ago after testing positive 10 days before. The first few days were the worse but it wasn't too bad. I just dosed up on paracetamol which made a big difference.

Re: Just tested positive

Oh boy!

Keep yourself safe and warm CT, drink plenty of fluids but limit the amount of painkillers you take, you know they have side effects that stop you going to the loo!

Re: Just tested positive

I got it in December 2 weeks after booster jab!, nose started running Saturday mid afternoon, did lateral flow test Sunday morning as feeling rubbish, then a PCR, positive result on Monday and 10 days off, felt rubbish and I was burning up.
On the Saturday morning I had taken Mum shopping and sat in the car with her for about an hour, I was panicking that she had got it but she was fine [Thumb_up.png] I had done a lateral flow test on the Friday and it was negative!

Re: Just tested positive

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Somehow I have managed to avoid it, but it will catch up with everyone sooner or later. Luckily the recent strains have been a lot milder.
