Should I go to the shop

Sorry for silly Q...

Woke up feeling achey, very tired (but that's cause I didn't sleep due to anxiety) and snotty/bunged up. Chest feels a little tight (bit also hello anxiety)

We really need food though, I wasn't able to stock up due to shop being empty. We need things like bread and vegetables to cook dinner.

Do I risk going out and infecting others? Or do I stay inside now for 7-14 days?! Idk if I'm being stupid.

Thanks and sorry for another COVID post that's probably nothing

Can anyone else get some food for you?

Not easily. Partner is asleep and he has asthma. In any case he won't be able to go until much later when the shops will be empty. No friends or family nearby

Doesn't sound like Covid19...

Have you taken your temp?

TheBananaInPyjamas · 20/03/2020 07:56

Thanks @Kelsoooo I think you're probably right. Just paranoid. I have a mask for cleaning. Will wear that just in case.

Send your partner

If you're snotty/phlegmy then that would point to a cold, it's unlikely to be CV.

I'd go to the shop but distance from others as best you can, cough/sneeze into a tissue (not into the air) and only touch what you buy, and if you can, pay by contactless.

Sorry @Selfsettling3 yes no fever.

I'm gonna pluck up the courage to go.

Did you go to the shop? Personally I wouldn't risk it...
Do you have a way of getting delivery? Our local co-op is on deliveroo
