Sorry to hear that @janer1967

Sorry to hear that @janer1967 - in my case, I had COVID-19 a few weeks ago and my partner didn't get it, even though he was living with me for a few days. I'm aware this is not the case for everyone, but that's my experience of it. It's probably best to just keep testing yourself/your family and follow the government guidelines. Please see here for the latest guidelines in relation to COVID-19:

• Stay at home: guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

I hope the above helps and take care

Hope he feels better soon! When my daughter had it in July/August she didn’t isolate from my grandson or her partner and neither of them caught it. Hopefully this will be the case for you!

Oh no, hopefully a mild case

Hope he'll be feeling better soon. When I had it no one else in the house caught it. Fingers crossed for you.

Hope Toby is only mildly affected, & your tests stay negative.

He is OK so far more like bad cold typical as his brace comes off tomorrow from his knee dislocation 

I've started with aches and sore throat see what result of tomorrow's test is 

Thanks everyone for you messages

Fingers crossed he's ok, it's taking me and SM longer than we thought to feel 100% but that's because we are both getting on. And hope you don't get it as well @janer1967

How are you feeling today @janer1967? 

janer1967

@Tori_Scope I feel tired and aches but I tested negative so fingers crossed it stays that way 
Toby not too bad so far more like bad cold 

Thanks for asking 

Tori_Scope

I hope you both continue to stay reasonably well @janer1967! Do you have everything you need?

@Tori_Scope toby is worse today but nothing serious mainly sleeping which I don't think is a bad thing 

I'm still OK and testing negative 

We have all we need after my bf called and delivered some milk and lateral flow tests don't think we meed anything else till my shopping will be delivered on sat 

It is scary tho not having anyone near us in case we needed anything good job bf isn't working away this week

I slept a lot when I had it too @janer1967. The rest did help. 

I'm glad your boyfriend is able to drop stuff off There's an NHS volunteering scheme that connects volunteers with people isolating who need essential items such as food and medicine. They'll do your shopping for you, and drop it off safely at your home. My partner was able to use them, and it was a real help, so there is support available!

janer1967

Thanks for that tori 

We have what we need and my online shopping comes tomorrow 

Fingers crossed toby test negative tomorrow which is day 5 and then day 6 tue same so he can come 9ut of isolation . He is a lot better today

I'm glad he's feeling better today @janer1967 Fingers crossed for negative tests tomorrow all round!
