Scotland goes back into lockdown 7pm Friday

[Gary A]

You're right Gary that England inevitably accounts for the bulk of infections, being the largest and most populous nation within the UK/Great Britain.

Scotland has its issues of course, so does Wales and NI.

BTW, are you feeling better now Gary,
as you mentioned a couple of weeks back that you had tested positive for Covid?

Yes I am Lencoboy, fully recovered now. My mother also had it and she’s also made a full recovery. We’ve both been asked to donate blood plasma, we need to wait until 28 days after recovery then we’re both going to do it.

Thanks for asking.

Fabbo Gary!!

Really pleased for you mate. And your mom. Certainly admire the bravery of you both.

That is good news Gary for you and your dear Mum.

Donating your blood plasma will be so beneficial, Gary..Very glad to hear that you are both recovering well. Thanks for helping us on here too with your health updates whilst ill.

Cases are going down in Scotland but my partners driving instructor has systems and needs tested I so worried my wife could give me covid but I mean she hasn’t seen him in some weeks anyway? My throat feels a bit congested today is it it virus?

Probably not, but if it helps request a test.

FYI, I have had similar symptoms to you Phil on and off over the past week or so, and I'm convinced it's not Covid, especially as I haven't (as yet) had any of the 3 key symptoms.

And incidentally the West Mids 'region' (not the county/conurbation of the same name) where I live is currently one of the worst-hit in England for Covid.

My wife’s driving instructor has covid so how long should she wait for a lesson? I hear of footballers testing positive again. Most people get a test and don’t get checked to see how long they are infectious for? I told her delay it until January 2021 to be sure?

Why not ask the instructor? He can't work until after his quarantine.

Well how long can you have COVID for? I think he will be a risk for a while
