Anyone on hear had it?

Today is my final day of self isolation after my brother, his girlfriend and her daughter came over 2 weeks ago then tested positive a couple days later. They've had coughing, fatigue, loss of taste and smell and fever but not too bad.
Thankfully I've had no symptoms so I've been within a metre of the virus but luckilly managed to dodge it.

But wasn’t the North hammered just as bad, if not worse in some areas, during the first wave? It hit London before anywhere else but the worst hit places in the North were only a matter of weeks behind. I don’t think enough people got it the first time round to see any effect of any kind of mass immunity in the south. It’s more likely due to other factors.

Problem with the stats in the Spring was you only got tested if you was ill enough to be in hospital. I posted on here at the time I had a mild cough, headache and fatigue/short of breath for about 2-3 weeks but was never able to get tested. I know we had the RS/Atletico game but I imagine how busy London's underground / nightlife / centre is and we had no social distancing / mask wearing/ home working before we locked down I'll be astonished if tens of thousands weren't infected in London but either had mild/moderate or no symptoms at all so would have never been tested.

Add in Cheltenham, BLM and counter protests etc.

Are you actually reading what you’re posting... wtf

I probably shouldn’t be saying it out loud but the suffering I’m seeing due to lockdown measures far outweighs that I’ve seen caused by the virus directly. We need to take reasonable steps to protect each other (masks, washing or sanitising hands regularly, social distancing) but this thing could be with us for a while. People need to be allowed to get on with their lives as much as possible.

My missus and eldest lad, same symptoms as @Zezti says above. Both are okay now, but still got no taste or smell. Missus is still tired during the day too.

Me and my other lad didn’t get it.

Or had it without symptoms?

Thankfully the world is much larger than just you.

Live with my parents, Dad is in his 60s and diabetic so I have to imagine it was very unlikely we were all asymptomatic.

Before this is over I’m sure most families will experience a death. That doesn’t justify destroying the lives of all those who haven’t yet reached theIr autumn or winter.

You in charge of the death camps then? What's the age cut off point 40? 50? Etc.

How insightful. I hadn’t realised.

Unlikely but not improbable.

No but know 2 that have died from it and my dad now got it.
