Anxious I may have Covid symptoms

You really need to go for a test, Dilly
I hope you get a quick result and it's not COVID.

Please don't risk other people's health.

Please, please don't.

The main symptoms are a high temperature, a new dry continuous cough (or three coughing episodes in 24 hours) and a loss of the sense of taste or smell.
If you are unsure the NHS website says ring 111 and ask their advice.

What a dilemma, Dilly.
If you have doubts at all, you cannot go to work unless you get a test.
How can you put other people's lives at risk?
That's a good idea to phone NHS for advice.
Hopefully it will be negative.

How can friends think it’s ok to possibly put lives at risk?

they are counselling you to put monetary advantage over possibly spreading a potentially deadly disease.
if you examine your conscience, i think you will find the answer as to what to do.
also, a good idea to call 111 to discuss.
whatever it is, don't circulate. good luck.

It's probably a cold but don't take any chances. Stay at home until you have a negative test result - stay at home for two weeks anyway, as tests aren't very accurate.

You'd never be able to forgive yourself if you had Covid and passed it on!

I would cancel, go get tested, and stay home until the result comes through.

Thank you all, I cancelled, I felt very guilty letting everyone down as I’m sure I’m just run down ( I often get signs of cold that go away when I’m over tired) but better safe than sorry. And hoping it isn’t covid, on a lighter note it gives me an excuse not to visit my husbands mother for two weeks

And my friends, well they are in the Covid has been over dramatised camp.....

people are infectious for about 2 days before they manage to get a test. Extended family of mine is going through this, five weeks on. I won`t say what, it will frighten people. Dilly well done, thoughtful and considerate action to cancel

It does sound like just a cold, but this must be one way it spreads so much, people assuming and going on to infect so many others.

You did the right thing, covid or not. Hope you feel better soon

You have far more sense than that stupid SNP MP, who took the chance; travelled by train from Edinburgh to London, spoke in the House of Commons and travelled home again. How many people did she infect?

You’ve done the right thing dilly, do get a test if you can, good to know one way or the other. Hope you feel better soon.

Dilly. Good choice. That could have been a real superspredder event.

That was the best thing to do Dilly people present differently with the symptoms so there is no hard and fast rule. As OceanMama said, stay at home until you get the test results. Good luck.

Hope you have a lovely restful day and back to full health rapidly! Good decision.

If in doubt, don't - a good rule to remember. If you go ahead and then find you have infected people and there is a disastrous outcome for one or more, how on earth will you feel? Stay away, get tested please and I hope you feel much better soon.

I think that is an excellent maxim for us all to abide by - if in doubt, don't.
Could even go on t shirts as it could relate to many situations. I like it.

Hope you feel better soon.

It actually sounds more like a normal common cold, but I don’t think you should risk passing it on. Get a test and then isolate until you get the result. Let work know what you’re doing and then sit back and wait. The group activity can be rescheduled for a later time.

Please don't go.
You may not have it but if you do I think you would feel terrible afterwards if you had passed it on.

You made the right call, Dolly.
Better to let people down than infect them.

If you can get a test it might be a good idea to go, but take care and look after yourself. If you get worse phone 111.

Sorry, autocorrect changed your name.Dilly
