Your covid +ve experience

[Cruyff14]

My missus has it, she's laid up in bed, and with school holidays I'm trying to work from home with the young bloke, not the best situation.

I'm not sure my boss is keen to give me carer's leave, I looked up Fair Work and I reckon i'm entitled to it, does anyone know?

If you've got a cert they can't say s**t.

Inability to taste or smell resulst in focus on food texture

Started off sniffly yesterday morning and just thought it was my sinuses playing up. By lunch I was feverish and had a sore throat. Did a rat test about 3. Tested positive. Went straight to my room and have been in bed ever since. I don't feel too bad in bed just a bit chesty, but as soon as I get up feel dizzy and not able to walk far. I'm starting to get the chills and I think I may be in for a rough night. My main concern is my two housemates, both of whom have compromised immune systems. One is in remission and one has just had a stent put in. I'm mortified by the thought of passing it on to one or both of them

Can they move out for a few days, stay with someone else? Sadly, they could get it anywhere really. They need to take whatever steps they think necessary to protect themselves. You are doing all you can.

I'll suggest it to them.

I'm pretty sure I caught it at the footy last Thursday so I'm just over a week into it. Started feeling a bit crappy on Monday. -ve RAT. Then today I noticed that my red wine tasted like unsweetened grape juice. s**t got serious! +ve RAT.

I don't feel too bad really. Just a bit achy and sensitive to the cold weather. I haven't got a cough, or sore throat or runny nose. Low energy but I'm not needing to sleep more than usual.

The one with the stent now has it so we're going somewhere to isolate so we don't give it to our housemate who is in remission.

Sitting on my behind all day has caused said behind to flatten like a pancake. The derriere is usally curveceous.

Feeling better today. If I get up and move around I get breathless but feel ok if I'm resting. I also have a weird metallic taste in my mouth.

I am a close contact of a positive case, also the housemate of close contact is unwell but refuses to test ect….as a close contact am I able to make a claim and isolate? I won’t be caring and can’t get a test kit until tomorrow, but if it’s positive or negative, is it still possible to claim and isolate anyway?
