I thought visiting was restricted to terminal and serious ailments. Who knows, lost track of what we can and can't do, far to fragmented across all regions.

Nope apparently as far as the government’s Covid rules are concerned visiting a relative in hospital is allowed but most hospitals have prevented most visitors. He’s not in an NHS hospital though, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Had to help the ms with a throat swab test for work this afternoon, you know when you’re trying to get a cat to swallow a tablet..

Your mention of throats has prompted me as follows, I have had a sore throat for the past three days, and I really mean sore. Been taking Ibuprofen and Paracetamol combined, and doesn’t really do anything. So here is my question, in this day and age do I consider this as just a throat infection or a COVID symptom. It’s only one of the possible symptoms, I have no others, so where do you draw the line ! . Personally, for the time being I intend considering it as a very sore throat, but who knows these days what to do for the best.

Is a sore throat classed as one of the three symptoms? thought it was:- New continuous cough, Fever, loss of taste and smell. and you only need one of them.

According to ZoeCovid research (the group who first identified loss of smell/taste as a key symptom) there should be a few more key symptoms on the list - sore throat amongst them, but agree it's hard to tell - is it Covid or something else (I always get a bad sore throat in the run up to a cold)

Makes Le Mans feel like a somewhat unlikely possibility on account of France, but let's see.

My feeling is that the race will happen but not with anyone there.
Back to plan b - oh B0llocks, can't book a hotel till the 21st...
plan C - divide ourselves into 6 and pile down someone's house and watch it on Eurosport
