I finally succumbed. Mrs Tenkaykev had caught it in March while we were in Edinburgh. I managed to avoid catching it. She started feeling rough again last Saturday, but following three negative tests put it down to a heavy cold. I started with a sore throat and a bit of a headache on Monday evening, tested Tuesday morning and was positive. My wife did a further test and hers too showed positive. I entered my test results online and was contacted within a few hours by a Doctor from the local hospital who asked a few questions and arranged for a course of the new antiviral Paxlovid. This arrived by taxi within a couple of hours and I was able to start treatment. My first night was rough, retired to bed with pyjamas, heavy woolly hiking socks, dressing gown and hot water bottle and still felt cold. Been slowly on the mend since, two days of medication to go.
