I came down with a dose last week. It was sinitus or hay-fever. I don't know. My face was sore and I was sneezing. I was at a packed event the weekend before so I was concise of that and I was testing at home for covid but all my tests were negative.

I met a couple on Sunday morning. One of these was an elder.

By Monday night the elderly person became sick. A home covid test was carried out but it was negative. Was taken to hospital and has a bed now in hospital.

Test results came back as positive for covid.

I'm shocked. I wasn't expecting this. I thought maybe a UTI.

Naturally now I am nervous thinking if the dose I had that started last week is covid. This elderly person doesn't go out much. Sometimes, maybe about twice a week one of her off spring takes her out for tea and shopping. Her movements out are limited.

There's no one else sicknor positive with covid in her circle of people.

I am petrified that I am the source of her infection. No one else in my work is sick or have symptoms.

Does anyone else have similar tales of covid? Where someone picked up covid and they don't know from who or where? Where someone had symptoms of a cold or hay-fever or sinitus but tested negative?

Could get it from anywhere , if you go out its always a risk and first time i had it i was asymptomatic and testing negative on lft , its only because had to have pcr as ds had it , i found out covid
2nd time I had more symptoms and LFT clear positive , by that time pcr were scrapped though

I currently have it.

Absolutely no idea where from? But the rules have changed and people can walk around knowingly spreading it. I could have walked past several people in the street with covid and wouldn't have known?

Don't be too hard on yourself.
