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

    84,000 = a handful ???

    Cough sometimes, sore throat sometimes, fever sometimes, headache sometimes, fatigue most of the time.

    If other people that have said yes to symptoms post your symptoms also

    I’ve been living with those symptoms since 2015.

    I hope I’m not patient zero.

    Nope. If you have any of them (Particularly dry cough/fever) you should contact your gp

    I believe some medical staff with no symptoms have been tested.
    If so, that's very logical.

    Not your ornery onager

    I think if you always think about this virus and that its always on your mind, you will make yourself sick, your mind is looking for something that isn't there.
    Time to switch off/cut back on news and social media, these are just outlets for negativity and will do nothing for your wellbeing.

    I have all the symptoms for the last three weeks. Headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, runny nose, a terrible cough etc. I have a rare lung disease and im on steroids and my second round of antibiotics. My GP arranged the test for me on monday but i still havent heard anything from them. Did they call you directly and tell you to go somewhere?
    My GP said they would be out to my house i dont know if this is because i already have a preexisting condition.

    My GP also booked a test for me on Monday and I’m also still waiting. Haven’t heard a thing. Do they text you or ring you, or can someone tell us what happens?

    Can you? I thought that hadn't been confirmed? I was under the impression that (so far anyway) it was a one-hit wonder?
    Experts say it's unlikely that you get it twice, but it did happen at least once in Japan

    I don't have any symptoms and am not tested but every time I cough or sneeze I think "this is it..."

    If someone was sneezing a little, felt a little run down, etc would they be running to the doctor to be tested for whatever?

    No they wouldn't.

    This is bringing out all the worriers.

    If you actually had it you would know.

    Relax.

    Every minor pain that i usually shrug off I am now convinced is the start of it! And i am being fairly rational and careful about it all- human nature!

    I've had most symptoms since Friday and rang my GP Monday who prescribed me an antibiotic once she heard I hadn't travelled or been in contact with a confirmed case.
    Still sick.
    Thinking of getting 2nd opinion at this stage.

    Antibiotic won't kill a virus, my doc just gave me a cough bottle.

    I know. That's why I'm wondering why she went down the road of diagnosing it as a possible bacterial infection instead of putting me forward for testing.

    I'm not in a doctor's from one end of the year to the next. Was eight years at one stage! But just can't ignore the symptoms I have. Hoping it is just the normal flu.

    Do we have an up to date and fairly accurate map/list of the locations of people which have tested positive? Not just a God forsaken compass point.

    I know someone who was tested Monday morning and is still waiting for the results. They have an underlying illness and were told that they are priority 1.

    Yup he's incorrect, 36hrs - 48hrs are what most are being told.

    They have the test kits and it takes 6 hours to complete a test but the backlogs in the labs are massive.
