We answered NO to both questions so they said to ring your local GP so we ring the GP and they referred us back to ring 111 as they don't want potential virus carriers in surgeries which is what I would expect

basically if you've been abroad to an infected and got the symptons you will get tested .If you don't fall into that bracket tough luck

Could be hundreds if not thousands walking around with the virus without even knowing see the daily mail picking up on this today

That's just it. Some of those who have tested positive for it liken it to a mild cold. I have mild cold like symptoms, maybe I have it. If I do, then I am about to make a full recovery but I won't be in the stats. Nor will your lad. People are reading far too much into the stats.

All I have been doing is using tissues and washing my hands if I sneeze or cough. I've also slept in a separate bed to my boyfriend. It's all about not spreading illness and I am not behaving any differently to any other time I have a cold. And, if I do get Coronavirus, I'll do it all again.
