covid 19

Gentlemen, I was given a morphine patch for pain and became very unwell, so much I had to go to the hospital and be kept in over night, whilst there I took a covid 19 test, I have been informed today I have tested positive , albeit, mild, I was sweating which an aversion to morphine makes you and sweating. had I not been taken ill due to this medication I would of never known ans gone about my business as usual.

The sad thing is that some can read this and see it as proof that the virus is nothing to worry about when the obvious message is that you can be a virus carrier without ever knowing.

That's true but it's also worth considering whether regular testing is the way forward

Testing only tells you unfortunately that you are negative at the time of testing. So regular testing would have limited value. Only a vaccine is going to provide the protection that we need.

True, but testing raises the probability of being negative for a short while, provided social distancing etc are observed.

Personally, I'm not shielding. I assume that nor is a person that is willing to meet me. Therefore by definition I'm accepting some risk. A test simply informs me, and whoever I'm with, as to the level of that risk.

You're right. Everyone has to choose the level of risk . Like you I'm not shielding - I simply ask that the guy I meet is - like me - currently showing no evidence of the virus.
