Has anyone assumed having Covid-19 means you'll be immune afterwards? All I've heard, over and over, is they don't know whether you're immune once you've had it.

There is very strong evidence that recovered infected have immunity, has been for the last few weeks (now that there are are a large number of recovered). Some total immunity, some partial (reinfection is milder). They're even talking about the possibility of using the blood plasma of recovered patients to treat active cases.

A doctor was on LBC the other day saying

At this time of year colds and flu virus have gone. If you have any symptoms of these it is likely to be covid. self isolate and go to the government website. She was clear and adamant of the science behind this.

If at any time of year all colds and flu were gone then colds and flu wouldn't exist. Far fewer people gets colds and flu in summer but stating that they are "gone" is just flat out false. And that's not to mention the number of people who will be starting up with cough/sniffles/sore throat in April and May due to grass pollen allergy.

she did not mean gone but highly unlikely to be a cold and much much more likely to be covid, so treat as covid. See what the doc above says.

Essentially she was saying "you are not a doctor, dont risk your family and others on thinking its a cold, you have never had covid before, err on the side of caution"

Not yet, thankfully. Scratchy throat yesterday but I was shovelling garden waste and think some grass dust got into my mouth.

Yes she's trying to encourage people to stay home with any symptoms which is absolutely the right call, I just question whether or not it's right to tell people it's "probably" Covid since it's probably a small bug they'll be over in three days and then baffled when they actually get Covid next month, believing they've already had it. It's probably where the rumours of "people being reinfected easily" came from in the first place - people thinking they'd had it once (but it was a normal cold) then it later "came back worse" (when they actually caught Covid).

So like I said - ANY symptom, act like you have it. Stay home, isolate, etc. Pretend you do have it whether it's likely or not.

But unless it's verified by a test, AFTER you recover, go back to assuming it was NOT Covid unless you have access to antibody testing that shows differently.

I guess the problem and their fear is that they don't trust the public to act like they have Covid on presenting any symptom, unless they can convince them that any symptom really = Covid.

I get that. I have a friend who has a sore throat and was pestering me about whether or not he "really" has to isolate and I had to explain that he absolutely DOES have to isolate, even though he probably doesn't have it. He was all for still going in to work. Given the area he lives in its highly unlikely he has it so its not easy trying to explain why he needs to isolate.

you can also have covid, but only mild symptoms

i mean i think there are people out there who didn't/do not even know about having/had the virus

my parents are quite cautious i guess, so am i also not visiting my nan these times who lives next door but more keeping the correct distance while outside and still bit of a conversation but mostly over the Phone

and i still find it good just to go outside in garden for bit of fresh air even though now couple of days bit colder, which is better than remaining inside 24/7

Btw I didn't even mention in the OP that my aunt & uncle have been sick for like a week but they went to get tested & my uncle got the call back today that he does have COVID-19. Not hospitalized tho and hopefully won't need to be.

Feel like that probably means I do indeed have it as well but I'm actually starting to feel a lot better today aside from cough remaining & having back aches (which I heard can be a corona symptom but idk)

Also, my dad has a really high fever today so I doubt it's coincidence. Says he feels fine though aside from a cough and isn't sure about going to the doctor/hospital. Bit worrying though, hope nothing gets serious for anyone.
