Very scared- COVID-19

I've booked a test, it should come in the next couple of days.

I'm hot, my lungs feel like they're on fire when I cough and I'm so tired, this is day 3 of symptoms and I've read that day 5 is the worst.

I'm scared, not really an AIBU but I have anxiety and need to talk to someone right now. The only place I've been is to drop the DC off at school, I haven't been anywhere else.

So it's the start of self isolation and waiting on a test for us.

Even if its positive try not to panic. 99% of people recover from Covid, I know a couple of people who had it earlier in the year and are absolutely fine now. Take paracetamol and plenty of fluids and rest.

Try not to worry too much. A lot of my family are vulnerable and tested positive a couple of weeks ago and they were all fine Smile hope you feel better soon x

You dropped children at school while you have symptoms? I'd be more scared of infecting half the school!

@Ellieboolou33

I think OP means they are unsure of where they might have got it as hasn’t been anywhere bar drop off.

@Loki234
Try not to worry or panic, I would take some paracetamol, get into bed with a nice book and have an early night.

@OverTheRainbow88 ah I see, I read it as op had dropped kids off whilst having symptoms. 😬

We have isolated, I haven't been anywhere.
I meant before I developed symptoms the only place that I have been is to drop the DC at school.
