Going For A Covid-19 Test This Afternoon

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there
I have been feeling lousy the last 72 hours. Shivery neck ache back ache. Sore throat. The house Is really warm but I'm freezing. I have decided to book a Covid-19 test and I am going this afternoon. What I wanted to ask is 1. Is it possible I could still have it despite having the 1st dose of the Pfizer on 27 February.
2. My temperature has been really variable I've got a digital forehead thermometer at one point it can be 38.9 an hour later it can be 35.6 . Can you have Covid with a variable temperature I also don't have a cough.

Yes you can still catch covid even if you had the vaccinne but for most people who get it after the vaccinne the effects are much less serious.
You'll know more after the test. Good luck

Are you just blowing smoke, bobbinwales?

I am just back from having my test done it was really straight forward. DIY with a staff member talking me through it. One swab back of my tonsils and up my nose. Apparently there has been a massive increase of tests done in the last 72 hours at my local test centre. Either there is a virus going round at the moment unrelated to covid and people are worried and getting tested or there is an influx of cases locally. I should get the results in 24 hours. I wonder how many viruses are going around at the moment, not Covid??
