    @pansyface, yes it did thanks. It felt very well organised. I’m seeing my son today and will be still keeping my distance from him, just in case. No hugs today. I’m also going to use a mask for the first time today.

    Has anyone been able to read the article below on the BBC news app? It keeps crashing on me, same last night. Even if it does open and load, it just crashes when I start scrolling.

    @Skylarks Does this work for you? From the website, clicking on the article you listed takes me here:

    @Omori , it’s still refusing to load. Just takes me back to bbc app. Thanks for the link though, I’ll try viewing it using my laptop tonight.

    Yvie, you can "wash" your glasses with soapy water,stop them steaming up, or make sure the mask is tucked under the bottom frame of the lense, make sure the nose clip is nicked tight, if you breath through your mouth, (which a lot of folk do on wearing a mask, saying they cant breath) that makes it worse.  Have booked to have hair cut, 14th August, a 6 week wait from when I booked.  Now as is the way, you know as soon as you set foot inside the dental surgery your tooth ache will disappear, well, my hair is really behaving itself and looking better than  it has for months.  I had it done in January, next appointment, (she was "opening specially) was Easer, then we all know what happened.  Good luck with the Denitst, and glad friend with Covid is improving, my Daughters friend still in ITU 13 weeks now.

    I am the proud owner of COVID antibodies! 

    I do feel pleased, as I feel less vulnerable now. The small print is that this isn’t guaranteed immunity and I will still have to isolate in accordance with the rules. 

    I am thinking that it is a strange virus. Why isn’t it rife again? Was it around at New Year? Why were some so horrifically ill? So many questions...

    @AuntyRach If a test for antibodies becomes freely available to me I suspect I may find that I also have them ... remember that lurgy I had Dec/Jan with a cough and squeaky chest, and felt so knackered? Then during the time I was ill OH had a high temperature and looked like a corpse, and son came to visit us and a few days later had upset innards and the highest temp he’d ever had for 3-4 days?  I reckon that was it. 

    A few days before my chest got tight I’d met someone who later told me she lost four close friends in Dec/Jan.

    It wouldn’t surprise me Dove - sounds very much like an unusual virus. Maybe it was here in December all along??

    We were both very ill before xmas with a bad coughing bug. My OH ended up in hospital with Pneumonia. I had a really bad dose of conjunctivitis with it too....another sign of Covid. We wonder if we had it too. A few months ago one of the Scientists said that he thought it could have been here in December and quite possibly as early as September.

    I'm sure it was here in December/Jan.  I was ill for 3 months with a hacking cough.  GP had to give me inhalers as I couldn't breath properly (never had them before) and I lost my sense of taste and smell for 3 weeks, it still isn't right.  I was so tired, and had to stay in bed some days.  I had two courses of antibiotics but they didn't do anything. I was waiting to go for lung function tests at the hospital when it all started to kick off.
