Caught Covid outside? :(

[Threelittlegins]

My husband has been working from home for months.
We don’t go to a supermarket we have food delivered and we always wipe it down.

Since lockdown began the only places we have been is for a walk.

I take my DS for a walk to our local park most days. (Only a baby so we don’t use the play area)

On Tuesday I met up with a friend and we went for a walk around a local lake.
It was quite busy but I never had close contact with anyone.
A few runners did run past quite close though.

Me and my friend distanced the whole time.

Before our walk we visited the cafe for a takeaway coffee. It’s all done outside so we didn’t have to go in.

I did drink from a disposable coffee cup but sanitised my hands when I’d finished, washed hands when I got home.

This morning I’ve got a sore throat and a tickly cough. 😖
I’ve ordered a test.

Have you had the result yet, OP? I'm sorry you've had so much flack on here.

The simple and only answer to your question was:

Yes you could have caught it as you had, eg, contact with the coffee cup. However, it's pretty unlikely, unless someone really heavily infected was near you or touched your cup. You'll only know by having a test. Your symptoms aren't a good measure.

Hope you're ok OP, some really nasty comments on here .

Hi OP.
Are you feeling better? How is your throat and cough?
And did you get your test result yet?

Funny how the OP hasn't come back to post her result

Yeah, hilarious how someone has been bullied into not wanting to post.

Op wasnt bullied, she posted a misleading over dramatic title Got pulled up on it, as others have said it made them anxious.
Instead of apologising and asking MN to change it she stamped her foot like a toddler and refused.

Omg some 'women' on mumsnet need to grow the fuck up. Are we really still discussing the bloody title you lot seriously need to get some perspective. An anxious poster has started a thread and shes been mainly met with people nitpicking, moaning and acting like pathetic teenager. Seriously, being on mumsnet is sometimes like being back at school!

Probably due to the amount of nastiness she received when posting, I wouldn't bother either.

Bullying and vindictiveness is never pleasant, even when it comes from anonymous keyboard users.

Just pointing out to the virtue signallers on this thread that OP is not being bullied nor was there any "piling on" Its not me who needs to grow up

We are in anxious times , but some people are "enjoying being anxious too much" they should not be encouraged!
Most people dont bother reading the full thread. They came on here independently and pointed. OP may be anxious , who isnt nowadays but she has behaved like a drama queen.

This might help your anxiety OP. It is far far more likely to be a cold than covid.

Bollocks!

"just pointing out" - something that isn't true and is entirely your opinion.

Hey! Sorry you have got such negative posts here - just checking in - have you received your result? Good luck

People came here to give the OP a virtual slap, and they did repeatedly. Yes, it's a form of bullying. No, I wouldn't be back to this thread myself personally.

Hopefully the test was a negative and OP is already feeling better.

This thread is terrible. I agree with PP, it is a form of bullying and it resembles a school playground.

I really wouldn’t blame OP if she didn’t come back and post, not just on this thread, but on MN.

OP if you’re still around, hope you’re okay.

OP was enjoying the attention otherwise she wouldn't have repeatedly come back to answer questions on vague details regarding coffees and joggers. She probably loved having a thread stretch to 18 pages but obviously won't be back with the results.

Again that's bollocks.

User, that says more about you and what you'd like than the OP.

Vile post. I can’t imagine thinking like this never mind actually typing it publically.

What a very unpleasant post. What a surprise it is by someone with a Userxxx type name
