i hope you’re continuing to recover. I find myself in a similar position - a couple of days in bed with a fever, and now a slightly irritated throat, but not really what I’d call a cough. Now I’m wondering whether that was it. If so, I think I can count myself lucky. The current advice seems to be that we isolate ourselves for 2 weeks, which will be a bit of a challenge.

Last November, my wife was very ill with a very painful sore throat, constant shivering and always feeling very cold. It lasted for about 5 days of being very poorly and then took another two weeks to make a full recovery. Coronavirus wasn't diagnosed then but I do wonder if it was already around before Christmas and if she is immuned to it now?

Very mixed messages at work. Some teams sent home (and they are student facing) but others (like ourselves who can work remotely) are in. Wife and son are effectively working at home, but the lady that my wife is covering for, is coming home from her 6 month round the world trip - only been gone 6 weeks, so that might be Mrs F's job gone once quaranteen completed.
I'm going in tomorrow as the building is empty, and I'm off work Thursday, so recon we will all be out by the end of the week.
My son has tested works VPN on his gaming PC, and once logged into work, he's locked out of his PC effectively, so he can't game/message friends. Phew.

It wasn't CV-19. It wasn't present in UK at that time. I got a stinking viral infection in December with similar symptoms to your wife. She still needs to take the normal measures to make sure she doesn't contract CV-19

How can you eat a Fray Bentos pie without Peas.
Smelt the tin until molten (the tin will boil off at around 230 C but you need to get your kiln up to about 1370 C for the steel. Once molten, slowly pour the liquid steel into a large pail of water from a height of about 1.5m. The molten steel will form balls as it hits the water - adjust your flowrate to get your balls the right size. Fish the steel balls out from the bottom of the pail, paint them green and voila - peas with as much taste and nutritional value as the pie itself.

Sending us all home on full pay till the end of next week
Not much change for us travelling around Australia. We're in WA at the moment and not intending to go near any large cities in the near future. We haven't tried the supermarkets for a few days so hope there wil still be stuff on the shelves. Not due to return to the UK until the end of August so hopefully things will have settled down by then.
