Fever or not?

[MajesticWhine]

I feel like I'm burning up a bit. I took my temp and it was 37.5 - the thermometer made the extra beeps to say that's a raised temp but I know 37.5 is not super high. I am incredibly stressed as my DM is quarantined on a cruise. I wonder if stress could cause this low grade fever? I will take it again later. I don't have a cough or a sore throat.

depends on what your usual temp is. mine is always around 36C so 37.5C would be borderline on high for me. keep checking just to make sure

fuck. It's gone up to 37.8 now.

The NHS class 37.5 and above as a fever and the official advise is if you have a temp of 37.8 or above you should self isolate for 7days as a precaution

Yep. I know. I will do the right thing.
DD just went nuts at me and told me I am not ill and I am attention seeking. She was on the way to her boyfriends for the night and I told her to turn around and come back as we spent time together today.

Check in the morning ,if it is still 37.8°c then self isolate.
This will become more normal,until then if anyone criticizes just shrug it was off.If you act responsibly that's great ,if your DD gets symptoms and ignores them that's on her but she can do as she likes until then.

OP current guidance is that only you - as you are symptomatic, need to self isolate. Your daughter as a potential contact does not need to be quarantined. That is not to say I don't agree that it would be eminently sensible for her to do so - and I think she needs to appreciate that in the current situation we all need to be doing our bit to mitigate this disaster. and for you.

I agree with Theyrecomingtotakemeawayhaha check in the morning and decide from there. As for your DD I'd ignore her, your following Gov advise if you have a temp and acting responsibly. My sister flipped out at me earlier today because she came round to visit with my mum and I asked her to wash her hands when she arrived as they had been into town and the shops - apparently I'm nuts and taking it too seriously

There are four of us in the house. I have a younger DD also - we spent all day together. I did not see too much of DH but certainly we shared a bed last night. I think we should all self isolate for 7 days really. But we will talk in the morning when everyone is calm.
