Covid-19 Isolation Support Thread

@Chrystal - I had terrible trouble making payment for my Asda order yesterday, trying until well after midnight - and with different cards - so I was sure it wasn't a bank issue. 

But I tried again early this morning and the payment interface had changed slightly and it went through straight away and I got my confirmation email immediately after.  So if you haven't yet tried again today, it might be worth doing so - maybe the glitch has been fixed.  I just hope I can log in again before my delivery to make changes as I was so thrilled to get a slot and then make payment, that my order still needs work.

If you need cheering up have a look at this - it's from Melbourne - pub choir couldn't meet so they did this :

Tesco delivery just came this afternoon, everything we'd ordered, very pleasantly surprised.
We have Asda orders placed for the next two weeks.
Agreed massive thanks are due to all the supermarket workers.

I've now got Coronavirus . A couple of things I'd like to pass on. If you have a tickley cough, even slightly , isolate. If you get very slight , imperceptible chills, isolate. There is a window where your condition can worsen , which is either 5 days, or 7 days after your first symptom. Also, some people only get the symptom where they lost their sense of smell or taste . It's worth having a sniff of aftershave or perfume every day to see if this is you. If it is, you are a carrier and need to isolate.

Hope you feel better soon @hollydays I was told the same thing about day 5/7 and that as it was day 20 before I called my GP I would probably be OK. Hopefully as we're in lockdown most people who were infected at the start will be out the other side by the time it lifts. Its the people who still have to be out and about who need to be on the lookout for symptoms.
Drink plenty of water - if you can find something fizzy it helps. 
I'm enjoying my sense of smell coming back - it's fabulous outside. Not so fabulous was the hint of fish in the sitting room last night, but that should be gone as I've had the windows open!

I really hope you feel better soon too @hollydays x

Hope you start to recover quickly hollydays.  At least then you can relax, as you shouldn't be able to catch it again. 
 Must admit I had a (wry) smile at the symptoms to look out for.... I lost my sense of taste and smell about 2 years ago, and I've had a 'tickley' throat cough for years, which drives me mad as it seems to be 'under the skin' so coughing doesn't help at all but I've got to cough cos it tickles like mad!!

Thanks BJ I have tried again earlier today... no luck, but I've been told to try on mobile phone instead of comp, so I'll give that a try..... in the middle of the night! :

No Luck with Asda... it's now telling me 'it's not a valid town or city' ! 

It wouldn't be so bad Candygirl, except that I've just paid for a 1 year everyday delivery pass
