Wonder what it implies of the efests demographic - lucky and blessed maybe? We are at the point in the spread now where instead of it being smaller clusters of cases that it is closer to all of us. By xmas it is likely that almost everyone will know someone who has had it I think. I lost a close friend at the end of August and it was a terrible shock. That's one of the worst things about this, when people get it it can go from them being fine to being extremely seriously ill extremely quickly. @Guy, hope the little one gets well soon.

Slugy Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 I had it at the end of March had very minor flu like symptoms and shortness of breath. From what I remember was over in what felt like a few days. I would not thought I had it at all if it wasn't for my mother with whom I live with was really unwell for two and half weeks. She told me after the whole thing that she didn't think she would make it but didn't want to tell which was very upsetting. We also both had "long covid" symptoms such as rashes, hair falling out and I had pins & needles for a couple of months if you believe they are related as the news suggests. Now my mum is 50, in good health and I am an unhealthy 30 year old smoker and the polarizing experiences we both had blew me away.

Gilgamesh69 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 I'm really struggling with something. So i'm trying to order a home test kit but when I get to the end, it says they can't confirm my identity. I've double checked all my details including NI number, NHS number etc. It's all correct. I've tried using a few different addresses too, but that hasn't worked either. Anybody got any ideas what could be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drive and the nearest walk-in test centre is miles away Are you on the open electoral roll, or are you on the 'hidden' or closed roll, which you can opt to do? The ID verification company search the open electoral roll and you may not show if you opted to be hidden. The verification company is actually a credit reference agency. If you have a history of frequent house moves etc you might also fail a verification test as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably on the open roll, but the last time I voted was years ago, and I lived in a different part of the country.
