Biphasic immune response, innit. Check out the graphs for the recent antibody test and you'll see an early rise in IgM, giving you initial symptoms, which drops and gives way to a rise in IgG, giving you a second wave of symptoms. Remember your symptoms aren't caused by the virus as such, but your body's response to it.

From my relatives' experience, days 6-9ish are the worst. Hang on in there.

I am a clinical chemist and trainee clinical biochemist, not an immunologist.

Useful, thanks.

You look ok there accy. Can we see one with the mask on ?

Sense of taste and smell going is one of the symptoms.

Does that mean I wont be able to taste my wifes cooking?
Not all bad then

I know a few people who own that kind of gear already.

Thought your club was suspended for now?

Wear gloves at all times, this reduces the likelihood of you touching your face with your hands

Surely you just touch your face with contaminated gloves? Same outcome.

Could a person be fined for going to their local laundry? I haven't seen laundry use on the government's 'essential journeys' etc list. Personal hygiene is essential,but i don't know if we're allowed to make a journey to a laundry,even though some laundries are still open,with strict guidelines on customers keeping safe distances,not coughing in the shop etc. Also...I heard that bicycle shops are allowed to stay open,though my LBS closed last week. You'd think he'd have stayed open,with his main income coming from repairing teenagers mountain bikes.

If you don’t go to the laundry it may be effective at establishing a 4m exclusion zone around you.

No symptoms and feeling ok. No change in resting heart rate or heart rate variability, still within usual norms. Did outdoor exercise with wife whilst it was snowing.

Yes, the wife's been saying something similar.

Mind you, she was saying that long before Covid 19

What an arse, hope his toilet gets blocked soon.

What clear is that the advice around self isolation in households is based on property the rich live in.

My wife and I were talking about it yesterday, although an awfully long way from being rich we do have a reasonable size garden to potter around in, we're far better off than some.
