Just curious if people on here want to divulge if the have had to self isolate, had a covid test or have tested positive.
I have had to self isolate twice, had a negative test and am currently living at home with soneone who has tested positive.
So im stuck at home until the 9th

I had a test a while ago. It was a random thing to check for how prevalent it was in the population. It came back negative.

Just wanted to correct those typos

Literally nothing. No tests or anything. My dad and boyfriend haven't either.

My mum had an antibody test from her workplace which was positive, but now we can't work out *when* she had the virus. She also had the same thing Gevin had, but that was also negative (and it was just after the antibody test, thus she was left thinking it was a bit pointless).

My younger brother is a STEM University student, so cannot "work" from home and thus got tested every 5 minutes down in Southampton.

Never been tested, but self isolated twice- once in March after displaying symptoms, once in November after being told to by the app.

Contracted it mid-December, via Heather's school being more concerned with staying open and bums on seats than sensible measures. Am in the extremely vulnerable category due to a drug I take to control my psoriasis being an immunosuppressant (and having a comorbidite to go along with it). Isolation finished on Boxing Day. It was a rough time, though without ever feeling properly dangerous. Nowhere near 100% still, suffering from headaches coming and going in waves, smell and taste not quite back to normal, and have only just got over the lingering flu and cold symptoms that continued. Lung capacity doesn't seem back to normal.

Shit man, sorry to hear that.
Have only heard of a few I know getting it here in Ireland. And those are all since Christmas. Hence the National lockdown

Ive got conflicting information on my self isolation.
Because my stepdaughter reported me as being in her bubble I have a text telling me to self isolate until midnight on the 8th but the app says to isolate until the twelfth.
The app updated first so I screenshot that to my employer so I may stay off til the 11th to be sure

Possible infection in this house back in March, but no testing available back then to confirm. Otherwise no problems yet.

Had a test at uni as my mum wouldn't let me come home without one, but otherwise nothing really.

Seemed to hold a bit of a covid curse though; my doubles partner and I had 5 games in a row where our opponents ended up forfeiting the following week's game after playing us as they'd ended up isolating

Am part of the ONS survey so am tested every 4 weeks after initially being tested 8 weeks in a row. Negative every time.
My 3 year-old had a test before he was due an operation back in October, and it came back positive. He never displayed any symptoms, no-one in our house had any symptoms during the 14 days isolation period, nor did any within his nursery bubble (2 children and 2 staff) who also had to isolate, which seems strange considering the amount of close contact. Feeling is it was a false positive, but we will probably never know.

Test and trace was absolutely pointless. 2 of us working from home full time for two weeks whilst trying to look after a 5 year old and a 3 year old, and T&Ts contribution was 4 lengthy calls a day from different people asking the same questions that always had the same answers (yes we are isolating, yes we know the rules, yes we are fine etc etc) and reading the same statements from the same scripts.

Only tested once back in July, when I came down with chills and a fever. The good news is that it came back negative. The bad news is that it was food poisoning instead. I got to celebrate my negative test whilst regretting going near KFC

Sounds rough. Sorry to hear that.

Never had symptoms never been tested never been told to self isolate.
