lovingbothRemember when I said 'Along with a pile of other people, I'm not well.. but not with that' back on the 10th of March?
L's just done a home C-19 antibody test as part of an Imperial College study and got a very definite positive result for one of the two ('IgG'*). She was similarly ill about a week after me, and my illness was two weeks after my most recent trip to London which included an absolutely packed rush hour tube journey.
The bumf warns that it's not 100% reliable, but it's now looking quite likely that we've had it.
It would explain the periods of exhaustion I've been having on and off since...
* The other is IgM, which "don't stay in the body very long" and as the test is not very reliable for them anyway, we've decided the M is for 'meaningless' :)
