?!?!?!??!?! you have/had the symptoms! how can they deny you the free test? or, are you 100% sure you can't get it? jesus christ the UK seems like the worst country on earth w/r/t covid and i'm in the US, where the president's chief of staff yesterday announced outright that they're giving up on fighting it.
There is a shortage in tests and there is a big rise of cases in the UK so they are only allowing people with people with high temperature (38+), continuous coughs or loss of taste. So I went online and said I have a high temperature and then you get asked question whether you have been asked to get another test or other requirements and if you don't pass that it says you are not eligible to get the free test. So I will have to lie about my temperature being high and also that I was told to get a test again probably from a doctor. Else sorry no test for me.
it is frustrating the way they are handling it. I had the fever and breathlessness for 2 weeks and 3 days now. It's on and off. If breathlessness continues for 1 month, I will have to go see a doctor. hopefully I should be recovering soon.
Did my workout today and just felt my body temperature go up at the start of the workout. Breathing has become better, feel a little bloated in my stomach.
Short of breath and fever was the main symptom, now not a symptom to get free test. I'm worried about the asymptomatic victims. A lot of people have been turned down free test and they have to resort to a private test, costing from £100 onwards. even though government has said don't just take any test, make sure it's a proper test.
Workout only consisted of broad jumps double leg and single leg thrust forward jumps.
