Anyone want to place a bet on whether my swab will come back negative or positive?

[Donatella]

Just some idle speculating while I wait for the result. Pertinent background -

• Patient facing NHS (not seen any known positive patients for a while though)
• Last in work late last week
• Since then I've been to the supermarket a couple of times, otherwise not seen anyone from outside my household
• No-one else in the house has symptoms
• Symptoms started yesterday morning, just a cough and a bit of chest tightness, in normal times I would be in work as I feel basically well.
• Had vaccine (Pfizer so 50% efficacy from first dose) 5 weeks ago.

Any guesses?

I dont know but DP is in a very similar situation. Works in a hospital, had vaccine a month ago but has a really dreadful cough. He had a pcr this morning so we shall see. Good luck!

Negative

Update, still coughing, chest still sore (like a mild chest infection feeling), also have a bit of a sore throat, feeling a bit flushed but no temp, slight headache. Still feeling generally well but maybe down to a 8.5 out of 10 from a 9 this morning.

I’m still on team negative
Hope you feel better though

And the answer is......

Negative!

Excellent news

Great news!

Ahh fab! DP has tested positive which is stressful and disappointing 4 weeks after vaccination but hopefully he'll be ok!
