Yet you'll take Jonbey' s hunch as gospel.

Hunch? For what it's worth, although i wasnt tested, a doctor diagnosed it.

But maybe there was something else in March causing breathlessness, extreme lethargy, headaches, body aches, loss of taste and smell, and diarrhea. And also just coincidence that i was exposed to several people who were tested positive. But yeah, i haven't got a certificate to prove it. Maybe it was a bad cold.... that is still affecting me 6 months later...

A scamdemic that killed a friend's mum, along with a million others.

Now I know you're getting desperate for affirmation, dragging in a friend's mom and a million others.

OK then. I believe you. You've had the 'rona.
I also believe everyone who has claimed to have had it without proof - positive, has also done so.
I expect you'll join me in so doing.

That's going to make one hell of a dent in the mortality ratio then, don't you think?

Sorry to disappoint you brigadier, but i really don't need or want any affirmation from you or anybody else.

Lockdown?

Hadn't started yet.

Or paranoia?

So why are you posting on here about it?

They are responsible, at least partly, for the spread of this virus and the prolonged measures, making it worse for everyone else.

Professor Sunetra Gupta of Oxford, one of the three experts who drew up the document, warned the world had become ‘blinkered’ and ‘myopic’ in its approach.
The scientists advocate allowing ‘herd immunity’ to build up among those who can best fight off the virus.

Or paranoia?

Paranoia about what? It was hardly talked about at the time.

Because you told the forum i had a "hunch" and suggested i never had it, which was simply not true. I think i have a right to correct you and say what actually happened.

But you were never tested.

Not able - they didn't offer testing back then. Surely you remember that?

I do recall, but if I thought I'd had covid, I'd be lining up for the antibody test to confirm that, wouldn't you?, unless a negative result was going to be disappointing.
I'm sorry but I have to reiterate what I said when he originally made the claims on a previous thread, I don't believe him.

Is there an antibody test drop in or available at the GP? I don't think there is, am pretty sure he can't get one done. I wish we all could, be a good way to (presumably) go back to normal for some of us.

It isn't likely to. It's well understood that most cases in March were missed. The estimate I've seen is that 95% of positive cases weren't being tested at the peak of the UK first wave.

Or work backwards, Covid-19 has around a 1% mortality rate, that's held up in multiple studies around the world. On the 25th of March there were 181 confined deaths. Two weeks earlier there would have been in the region of 18,000 people who caught the disease. There were 83 confirmed cases on the 11th.
