Do I have coronavirus?

[nonamemummy]

So I wasn’t really taking the coronavirus that seriously as I didn’t think it was as big of a problem as everyone is making out. Atleast not to us in England, yet. But in all seriousness if I have flu like symptoms now do we just ignore like we would a cold or do I have to think that I could have coronavirus?

Have you been to any affected areas? Have you been in contact with anyone who has?
It is unlikely you have it.

I think you'll have a cold.

According to the NHS these are the symptoms-

The symptoms of coronavirus are:

a cough
a high temperature
shortness of breath

No mention of a cold. I think you will be fine.

I'm pretty convinced Corona virus is hiding in plain sight

I’m not saying I think I have it. I’m just wondering when we start to consider coronavirus?
My children’s school was closed Friday because a girl had returned from Italy and had symptoms.

I would start to consider it if I had the symptoms and struggling with them enough to need medical attention, and IF I had been in contact with someone who was affected.

If you do think you may have it and have a fever, cough & shortness of breath you should call 111 for advice on what to do next

I don’t think I have it. I was just wondering that’s all
I’ve just read that 12 cases have been confirmed in the uk in just one day

“12 cases have been confirmed in the uk in just one day”

Out of a population of 66 million, that’s not too bad....
