SYMPTOMS OF CORONAVIRUS AND NHS GUIDANCE:

COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus.

Stay at home if you have either Coronavirus symptoms:
• A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.

Me and my partner both had it and recovered despite me having severe athsma. We are both confirmed cases and confirmed cured. I had no difficulties breathing or cough but I do take a steroid inhaler as well as a blue one. My partner however is health usually and had a cough. Plenty soup, hot drinks, vickz baths, lots of singing with windows open to keep lungs clear. We came down with symptoms around 9th of march and confirmed safe on the 23rd of march

[RPFLASH]

Pretty sure my son and I had this exact thing before it was even found out. November 2019. In the U.S. it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. A cough that wouldn’t stop and lasted for weeks. 103 fever and everything.

That’s for another informative video on Covid19

[kjoemack]

Thx for your vids - and any general knowledge (with disclaimer) on the below would be appreciated ... we are not far from a shutdown ...

Questions --- How effective are the following ...
1) is dishwashing liquid an effective substitute for 'soap' ?
2) is using diluted laundry bleach an effective substitute for wiping handles / surface areas etc? if so, should it be a stronger dilution than recommendation?
3) how effective is wound/floor/toilet antiseptic as a surface-wipe on C-19?
4) best why to clean a mask for reuse?
5) do ultra-sonic cleaners work for masks?

[pamelaclary]

The symptoms are tricky because people cough, sneeze, get a runny nose, fever and scratchy or sore throat every day so how can anyone tell if it’s the virus?
