Personally, I feel pleased as both OH and I were ill in mid January, OH with exact symptoms.
Yes, this is good news. I hope that it will be mentioned at some point during the briefings by the medical and science profs for credibility.
I hope this is true. There has been a false dawn on this before. It's odd that there doesn't seem to be anything on this on other sites I've looked at though
must be true FF, It's in the indy!
I'm afraid I had to stop at : "Global diagnostics specialists Abbott,"

Seriously, if true it will be good news.
I've still not heard any other mention of this. Nothing came up at the briefing yesterday

A relative who lives in Switzerland paid for one of these tests a week or so ago and got a positive result that he had had Covid (unknowingly). He had a very bad cold in January. To him it means to a large extent he is now immune and can't pass it on either. That's the idea behind it although there will always be exceptions.
I don't think anyone knows whether having it previously confers immunity do they? Catching the common cold does not prevent you catching it again
Other half had a three day very sore throat about two weeks ago, didn’t tell me till five days after it stopped. I also had a ‘funny’ throat around the same time.
I’d be very interested to know if what we both had was COVID or not, especially since I’m in a high risk group, and according to letter I received yesterday ( the third I’ve had from the NHS) I should be shielding, which I’m not.
I think that's the idea behind it yes. The common cold isn't just a single virus, it's all the various mutations. I suppose Covid will do the same. However don't we gain some immunity from colds as we age? I remember as a teenager and young adult I had colds every couple of months. Now it's maybe one every 5 years, in fact I can't remember the last time I had an actual sneezing blowing the nose head cold.
I don't think we knw a whole lot at the moment, bednobs. There's been a case of a woman who apparently contracted Covid in India but has only just tested postitive in Australia two months later
