Out of interest Darren, what are the ‘other symptoms’ that are checked in secret on a 111 interview?

Given my family's experience of NHS blood tests I would have zero confidence in them.

It has been reported this morning that the health minister did comment that she had a strong burning sensation in her chest as well as a fever. Why oh why didn’t she get tested at the beginning of her symptoms.

I may as well post this, as it's on a not-publicly-visible forum.


My friend's partner had all the classic symptoms and had been working in a building adjacent to where Kent's first case of Coronavirus was detected. He got his lunch from the same Tesco that everyone in the area uses and - a few days later - came down with the symptoms.


111 asked about the publicly-known symptoms, then asked if he had fatigue, swollen lips, swelling around his eyes or bloodshot eyes (there were a couple of others, too, but I can't remember them). He didn't, and as soon as he confirmed that they lost interest. If, however, he'd come back from Italy or another hotspot they would have asked him to get tested.

Travel and contact with those who've travelled is one thing they look for, but in the absence of any known contact / travel those are the symptoms they go for. It's those "secret" ones which they use in addition to the ones you read about in the news all the time. I can only assume that - sensibly - they've not made those public so as to stop every Tom, Dick and Harry phoning up expecting a test.

Man city v Arsenal tonight called off due to Corona.

Arsenal players who were in contact with Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis last month in self isolation for 14 days.

Liverpool's wait for the title will extend another week.

At my place of work we are urgently working out a contingency plan for home working.  


Part of it is trying to get approval to buy 50 laptops, and ensure they are able to connect to bespoke software.


Anyone who works in the charity sector where funds are extremely limited/sensitive will know this is far from easy or straightforward.

Well I saw an interview with someone earlier who said it came in 3 waves. First a cold like illness, then a brief respite before more severe flu like symptoms and then a pneumonia like illness. It could be she is in a lull between the first two phases.

She is also very thick and a security risk. Remember she gave out her Westminster  Login details to an aide who had no clearance
