Covid
This is just a cold, right?

Last couple of hours, nose started streaming and throat is really sore.
Absolutely no cough or fever (yet!!).
It's just a cold, right? Was out doing school run on foot in freezing windy weather...
Been avoiding most of the COVID hysteria as I can't take it (while also being vigilant and aware of immuno-suppressed friends/family).
I hate being ill even with a shitty cold!

Think it's a cold going round. Me, my kids and partners kids all have the same but no cough or temp

Sounds like a chil. Runny nose is more if a cold symptom than a flu one. If it hasn't passed by tomorrow, try stay in for the week as advised by the Gov, just incase.

Not sure what to do about the self isolation guidance tho

I don't think cold/streaming nose is a CV symptom. I've had a savage cold with aches, sinus pain etc for over a week, pretty sure that's all it is.

Runny nose not typically a symptom of Covid 19 and sore throat only in about 5% of cases, according to World Health Organisation. Keep an eye on emerging symptoms but yes, most likely a cold.

Thanks for the reassurance! It's definitely feeling like every other cold I get.

I’ve got the same symptoms today. I’m sure it’s a cold but have been taking my temperature regularly just in case.

Sore throat can be a symptom; however, you don’t get a temperature with a cold.
