It's reassuring that she started with a sore throat and headache - here's hoping it's just flu!

I hope so. I hesitated before sharing both potential cases because I don't want to spread panic, but there's already a lot of talk about it in the community and I personally think it's better having it in the open instead of hidden.

Swabbed nose and mouth. Fucking hell. Back of the throat bare minimum but you need the shit coughed up from the lungs to be most sure, Dr Campbell has been saying.

If she is as sick as she says you could probably swab her shoes and get a positive!!!
But yeah, with 32% false negative rate, you want to do it right. We should be doing phlegm at least, and blood.

Why aren't we doing bloods? I can't figure it out. Is it something to to with antigen and antibody tests? I've been having a steep medical learning curve the last 4 weeks I've been watching this.

I haven't the faintest idea why not - I don't really understand how PCR tests are performed!
