Have I had coronavirus or merely a stinking cold?

Readers of this blog, assuming that there will be any, may wonder what the reasons for the silence since 18th March may have been.

I've had what may have been coronavirus or (more likely?) may have been a stinking cold.

Either way, I haven't been too well.

Symptoms included a (very) runny nose, cough, fever (not measured but paracetamol resulted in drenching sweats at times), some muscle aches but not the hammer blow aches that some accounts of coronavirus have led me to expect.

So, like thousands of others in the UK, I don't know whether I've had coronavirus or not.

Hopefully posts on this blog and the two other blogs that I set up on 18th March will now flow a little less sparsely than over the last few weeks.
