Just that
The end of last week , I think it was friday I started having a headache , thought nothing of it ,, warm weather and not drinking enough probably. Then I go to Brighton saturday morning overnight, funnily enough my legs felt achy that morning but I'd been on a long walk Thursday evening so just put it down to that .
This morning I threw up , numerous times and had to leave work. I came home and slept for 4 hours, this is very unusual.
This afternoon I've developed diarrhea and over the last hour I've felt hot and I'm coughing ( its wet tho not a dry cough ). Referring to a TAAT I didnt link diarrhea or vomiting with covid until I read it I just thought it was ..
Fever
Dry cough
Breathlessness
I've ordered a test which should come in 48 hours
This is the thing ... I might not even have coronavirus/ covid , I might just have a dicky belly .
I have 2 jobs and get no sick pay whatsoever for either. But took today of sick from job 2 as I was throwing up
Honestly in my situation would you ...
Carry on working until the test comes back with results THEN deal with it while carrying out vigorous hand washing and sanitizing , social distancing (then self isolate of course if positive ) OR self isolate now , it may come back negative then potentially have lost a weeks worth of money , waiting for test to arrive , waiting for courier to pick it up, then waiting for results all for nothing which I can ill afford .
In all honesty what would you do ?
