    Would you not rather have it though? Unless you're in the high risk category, it'd be best to get it out of the way, no?

    It consists of 2 swabs, one down the back of the throat that wasn't too bad and then one up the nostril which wasn't great...
    They tell you to swallow while the push all the way up your nostril nearly out of your eye, my eye was watering for about 5 minutes

    You can be reinfected so out of the way?

    Well the doctors are not testing people with no symptoms, unless they are doing it to people in the airport I don't know but I cannot edit the poll If a mod wants to add these options go ahead.

    Can you? I thought that hadn't been confirmed? I was under the impression that (so far anyway) it was a one-hit wonder?

    I believe some medical staff with no symptoms have been tested.

    It was on telly a good few times.
    You can get it again but its unlikely and even if you do it will probably be much much milder. The body develops an immunity.
    But that doesn't mean you'll never get it again. Pretty much similar to other flu diseases.

    Yes because you know everything and that is why there are so many people in the world active with it and a handful recovered.

    Probably because I am, and he sounded like a doctor giving medical advice of an illness we still know very little about.

    I've had mild symptoms for the last few days. I'm not going to get tested unless the symptoms get severe because I'd likely to be told to stay at home anyway.

    Ive said yes to symptoms, as Ive been excessively sneezing, and have a bit of a head cold and a slight cough, and am ran down a bit, could also be symptoms of an allergy and stress, or common flu which I dont get very often - no pain at all or fever so I wouldnt be looking for a test as yet.

    Had a dry cough and tightness in the chest.
    Partner back from Italy but not demonstrating any at all.

    Rang the GP to arrange a cheat appointment who said I should be tested.

    That was only today, don’t know how long I’ll wait for an actual appointment to be tested

    Sneezing is not a symptom more likely a common cold.

    Very surprised theres a no for sneezing, as a layman I would have thought sneezing was a function of a virus in order to spread. Also I always thought sneezing was related to your immune system at work, expelling unwanted items.

    If you had it for 3 weeks would you not be near over the worst of it now?
