cold/raised temperature/coughing - booked covid test for yesterday p.m. at local centre - result 8 a m this morning - negative. (very efficient!)
so it’s just a bad cold - but having worn a mask - socially distanced - washed hands etc how have I caught this cold?
Sorry you’re unwell. I’m glad the Covid 19 test was negative, but the tests aren’t perfect, so do keep an eye on how you are doing, and seek medical advice if you’re worried.
Get well soon!

cold virus are everywhere.
I think i have a cold its the heating on in my bungalow. you dont usually get a high temperature with a cold. Cold vs. flu symptoms | HealthPartners Blog
also i would have another covid test as it is proven sometimes the test doesnt work until after 4 or 5 days of onset of symptoms.
BUT WE musnt forget it is flu and cold season.
cold virus and covid can enter through your EYES.
right now, i sneeze for england, but i know its my heating so most days its off and all my windows open.
stay hydrated and rest. xxxx
Could be a number of reasons why you’ve got the flu and I would just be thankful it’s not Corona Virus.
I am pleased to hear that your test proved negative, as for getting a cold despite precautions, just goes to show 1: these viruses are cussed little so & so’s 2: Nothing will be 100%
Hope you get over your cold very soon.

Recently, my boyfriend also fell ill. He had a fever and weakness throughout his body. Our doctor advised us to do a covid test at home so that he doesn’t travel somewhere. I wasn’t sure that such tests can be trusted. Therefore, I decided to read what people write about it on the forums. I came across one very good forum. On this page, people shared their experiences and said which is better to choose. Then I bought a test and my boyfriend made it. The result was positive. The doctor prescribed treatment and said two weeks later he came back to do the test again. Fortunately, he had a mild form of covid and quickly recovered. I’m glad he’s doing well. Take care of yourself and maintain social distance!
