My wife couldn’t get out of bed for the next 6 days and a had a very high temp and lost her taste but no cough and no breathing difficulties. She’s finally seems to be coming through it today. My son and myself improved after around 4 days. Was it the virus? I suspect it was the flu, though unusual we all came down on the same night at the same time. The point is without testing we will never know as I suspect will millions of others who have some but not all of the symptoms. So I’ve no idea how they will ever monitor these cases

The hope is that there will be an antibody test soon. The UK are pinning a lot of hopes on that.
