Herself has been sent home from work, and they are trying to organise a Coronavirus test*
So I'm also assumed to have it - understandably - and we are fully quarantined. You should probably wear PPE while reading posts from me, and seek medical advice if I have helped you recently.
My Antivirus didn't help, not did my firewall ... it was an inside job!
* More complicated that it should be: she doesn't have any photo ID as she can;t drive and never leaves Wales unless she has to, much less the UK.

Thanks. I think it's just a cold, but ... she is pretty scared.

Then how do you know she hasn't been switched out with a fembot?

So, you're approx 3,813,333 Kevin Harts away from me, but a few more probably wouldn't hurt. At first, I thought this overkill, but if society has taught me anything of late, it's nothing is apparently overkill.
For those unaware, Conan did a joke/commercial on using Kevin Hart cutouts for distance measuring.

Does she have any symptoms?
Hope you two stay okay. We'd miss you around here.
My wife had something for a couple of weeks, fevers, fatigue and then in the middle of the night what we thought were just muscle cramps in her ribs. One CT scan later and she's in the hospital for 36 hours with blood clots in both her lungs. She's home and mending now. Tested negative for Corona at the Emergency Room.

Lucky you went to the ER when you did! Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Intermittent temperature, fatigue, and a wet cough - so hopefully it's a cold or flu.
"Get well soon" to your wife as well!

Oh f***! That's potentially really bad.
Make sure they have checked everything really properly!
Best wishes!

She's been to the hematologist and is on blood thinner for 6 months, she's slowly building her strength back. She's anemic and Dr put her on iron.
I have alarms on my phone to make sure she takes her meds.

Sorry to hear that. I hope both of you come through OK.

Thanks - so am I!
Mind you I'm hoping we all get through this - but I suspect there is still worse to come for us all.

On a serious note, sending you both good juju on this. Hoping this does not become too serious for you both.

Thanks for that - hopefully it's just a cold exacerbated by stress and overwork, but we'll find out if and when a test can be arranged. Her lack of ID doesn't help there.

On a different note, how do you manage life without an ID?
|
|

ID cards aren't issued in the UK - she has "official id" numbers - NI, Tax, NHS, and so forth, and she has bank cards, birth certificates, and similar paperwork - but no photo ID because she doesn't need it. She never learned to drive (probably a good thing, she'd be a road rage terror) so no photo driving licence, hates to leave Wales (let alone the UK) so no passport.
The UK last scrapped the idea of ID cards back in 2011, after it was discovered that it was going to cost thousands of times more to implement and run that they would claw back by charging every adult to have one ... only took them 5 years to work that one out, after spending £5 billion, and shipping 15,000 cards at £30 each.

Best wishes. Please get healthy fast.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hope it's nothing serious and you both get out of quarantine soon

Best of luck.
I was going to suggest a computer game for you to play but with you being cooped up for a fortnight nothing obvious came to mind...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Might be worth inquiring. Our state government agency that issues drivers licences also issues a non-licence, purely for the purposes of having a legit photo ID (for 18yos to get into pubs etc). NSW Photo Card - Licence - Roads - Roads and Maritime Services[^]
I went to my GP on Monday for a routine checkup and flu shot. Got IR scanned at the door (36.1, all good) but because I've had a bit of a (wet) cough for a few weeks I got swabbed (yuk). Haven't heard anything more, so I guess it came back negative.
All the best to you both.
Cheers,
Peter
