Is it possible to have very mild symptoms but still have Covid? Everything I have seen has been all doom and gloom or you know you've got it as you feel like you've been hit by a bus type things.
For the record, I started with a cough on Monday night. A dry, tickle cough which is irritating as fuck and brings on a coughing fit before buggering off for a while. Yesterday my temperature tipped 37.8-37.9, which is higher than normal for me. Combined with the cough, symptom checker suggested likely to be covid so isolate etc.
Luckily(?) I am an education keyworker and as DH is also a keyworker, I went online yesterday and booked a test at a nearby centre. This was for this morning and actually, wasn't as horrible as I thought it might be. 20 minutes in and out. Was very quick so I guess I have been lucky given some reports of people queuing for hours.
But I still feel a bit... fraudulent... I guess that I could and did access a test based on a bit of a temperature and an irritating couch, albeit a new one. Im not a hay fever sufferer otherwise I would have probably gone there as my first option.
The only other thing I have had is aches in my arms, hands and a slight burning sensation in my chest at times - like when you've inadvertently inhaled bonfire smoke or similar.
Is there anyone here who knows they have had covid but didn't have many or awful symptoms?
