It's really difficult isn't it?

About 5 weeks ago my girlfriend and I got ill at the same time, I had mild flu-like (not a cold) symptoms which lasted about two days and then had a continuous cough for which lasted about 10 days; while she got a massive fever and wiped out for two days but didn't get a cough.
But that was 5 weeks ago so extremely unlikely to be CV19. But if we got that now we'd be about 99% certain we'd got it.
Can't help thinking that it would be better the sooner the UK imposes the lockdown like France and Spain to take that kind of decision making out of hands.
