Does your friend have symptoms? I thought you were only meant to get a test if you had symptoms even if living with someone positive
She's a community nurse, so it is relatively easy for her to get tested. This will be her fourth test.
Why aren't you still exercising as that would be a really good way to keep yourself healthy?
I am still exercising. Zumba and pilates haven't been running but I am doing an on-line aerobics class twice a week. Running difficult now as it has to be across fields and the tracks are ankle deep in mud at the moment, but I have been trying to walk 3-4 miles every day. I went back to the gym when they were allowed to open but things like cross-trainers and treamills were not even 1 metre apart and I didn't think jogging next to someone else breathing heavily at that distance was very wise.
If she did have it, the chances of her infecting you at a 1m distance are 13%, so you have an 87% chance of not catching it.
This is very reassuring, thank you very much for that.
I'm trying to be sympathetic but seriously, you need to get some perspective. You are overreacting massively.
You are perfectly entitled to your views. However, worrying that I may have inadvertantly passed on a potentially deadly disease because I wanted to meet a friend for a catch up doesn't sit well with me. I have already contibuted to one persons death because I didn't know I was coming coming down with a flu-like illness. I don't want to repeat that feeling.
