carni 10,094 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 2 hours ago, Brew said: any ideas where you picked it up? Absolutely no idea. We have cycled most days but not come into contact with people. We have shopped at Morrisons but followed the correct procedure eg....Cleaned the basket handles with the cleanser provided, our hands also sanitised on the way in, and again with our personal sanitiser in the car after shopping. I did one Christmas shop last Thursday, I only went into one place 'The Perfume Shop' in W-ton Wulfrun Center. In and out in approx 15mins. Everyone having perfume gifts this year. Still in bed but my chest seems to be easier. Thank Goodness. All I can say after knowing how careful we have been is, no one is safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Probably youve got it from the perfume shop Carni, did you touch any door handles or perfume sample bottles. .?Did you touch your face in there. .?You went in thursday and felt bad on sunday , thats about 5 days which a nurse friend of my daughters says thats about the incubation period. 5 to 10 days. Hope you are still feeling a bit better and hope that it soon passes. Stay well and i know you keep safe. Best wishes to you and your husband. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I’m so sorry to hear your news Carni, ....... actually you’re the very first person I know who’s contracted the virus, which makes me now (finally) realise that it’s real. Wishing you a speedy recovery, get well soon both of you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 The shop was an open fronted one NonnaB, and I didn't touch any of the goods. BUT. The two assistants didn't have masks or gloves. Between them they both handled the products I bought. (I never thought at the time) I went in last Thursday and got my first symptom on Tuesday, which falls in with the expected days. Tomorrow we will have to sort out who we have to inform. I was at the Warfarin clinic on the Tuesday, it was after going there that I felt the first tickle in my throat, so we need to get it made known quickly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Thankyou all, you are very kind. It does lift the spirits to know people care. It is so worrying the way this virus can spread and the speed it brings you down. On the day of my first symptom, I was perfectly ok, I felt normal, I attended a Warfarin Clinic early in the morning, I cooked a meal for us and gave one to an old friend, also shopped in Morrisons and at 4pm gave our son a lift home from work. Today the government want a list of all people who may have contacted us while infected. All of these people came into contact with me in the hours before it became clear that there was a problem., all on that same Tuesday10th The reason I keep posting is, that I am so shocked about it all, I want you all to hear about my personal experience in the hope it makes you all even more careful. Stay Safe.x 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Sorry to hear about this carni, but I'm sure everything will turn out ok. You've come through quite a lot medically in the last few years and I'm sure you'll come through this as well. The virus will find that you're stronger than it expected 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gem 1,430 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Those of us who take all the precautions fall to the carelessness/stupidity of others. Take care of yourselves Carni and think of all the cake shops you can visit when your out and about again. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Wouldn't it be wonderful to discover that the cure for this virus is a large box of cream cakes? B*gger Pfizer, et al. Let's all rush down to Birds and empty the shelves. Wipe that cream off your chops, Carni! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The two assistants didn't have masks or gloves. Between them they both handled the products I bought. Carni the shop assistants were really irresponsible. They must know that everyone who buys perfumes wishes to handle the bottles and maybe touch the counter. But no gloves and masks, they need reporting. Those who are wearing masks and distancing are being infected by those who couldn't care less. Sorry but I lose my temper with that kind of person, it's getting the same here , now we have 37 cases in the village. There are those who have family and friends round and take no precautions. My daughters restaurant has neighbours who frequently do this and I'm sorry to say they are not Italians but Macedonians. A big hug to you both. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
