My son has coronavirus.

My son had a test for coronavirus on Monday and it came back positive.He works from home and rarely goes out except to walk the dog or go for a run.He lives in Cambridge and on a whim went into London on the train to meet two friends last Tuesday.He had his hair cut on Friday.He took allthe precautions,mask,social distancing ,hand sanitising etc.Sunday he started feeling achy,coughing ,temperature so decided on Monday he had better get tested.No tests were available in Cambridge so he had to drive to Norwich,a three hour round trip.Not good when you are feeling rotten.Tuesday lunchtime he gotvthe positive result.He ,his wife and our two grandsons are now isolating for two weeks.Also friends they were out with on Saturday night and probably others.Test and trace worked and these friends were notified via the app.He is feeling a bitcbetter today and we wait to see if Jude,Fin or Angus get it.
It just shows how easily it can spread.What dread ful times we are in.

  9. So sorry to hear that and hope he heals quickly without any long term side effects. Fingers crossed the rest of his family stays healthy. It's hard to stay away from each other when you live together. I've had 2 families get it. One young 20 ish, college student who was waitressing over the summer, pretty sure that's where she got it; and several others she worked with did as well at the same time. She recovered nicely. My SIL, who was very sick and had effects long afterwards, but is ok now. Best of luck to you and yours.
