    I hope you survive this. Best of luck.

    • +1

      Yes
      Hope you be extra careful with masks n gloves.

  • +1

    How did you think you got it

    • +1

      Suspected case which was later confirmed and so am i.

      • What's your relation with the suspected case? Like do you live together? friends? and how much contact did you have with them to catch covid off them?

        • +4

          Just touched his table, light switch etc but had enough physical distance.

          • +1

            @noonu: Thanks, sounds extremely easy to catch. I'm guessing you visited a friend's house. How long were you there for?

          • @noonu: So you touched someone's table and light switch etc and then did what with your hands? Touched eyes, mouth, nose?
            Personally other than at home I will always wash or sanitise my hands after touching 'public' property and prior to touching my face etc.
            But I was like this pre-covid.

              @nepalesesquirrel: Man, this person is the worst to ask questions to. Can't even be specific even when asked specific questions. LOL

          • @noonu: I don't think physical distancing always works, because the virus can be suspended in the air for long periods of time and can actually travel way more than 1.5m. Sharing a living space or spending enough time in one that had an infected person, you're likely to get it.

            Contracting it from a surface has yet to be proven, but you obviously don't want to touching infected things to find out.

            Hope you get better soon and keep us updated.

            I know there's correlation (not causation) between bad outcomes and a lack of vitamin d… Do you get enough sun / know your vitamin d levels?

        • Don’t live together

  • Do you blame China?

    • +11

      I am not TRUMP.

      • Chump blames everyone for everything

  • +3

    Do you have enough toilet paper for the next two weeks?

  • Do you have a dog or any pets?
    I have reason for asking this.

    • No

  • Did you use the govt's covid safe app. If so, was it any helpful in giving you an indication of you might have had contact with suspected case or was it purely by your instincts to get your self tested based on symptoms and that gut feeling of "something ain't right"

  • Did you lose your sense of smell or taste?

  • Which stocks are a good buy?

    • toilet paper. Lots of it.

      Oh wait..

    • Masks
      Milk
      Generally food items for 14 days.

    • +1

      CSL

  • +3

    This could be useful for some people about what to look for with symptoms as the op says so contagious, he only touched a table and light switch!
    If you have any symptoms listed, please get tested (as people have said sound like cold/flu but was COVID).

    Chart comparing COVID/cold/flu symptoms

    Remind people of the simple steps by putting up or sharing any of these posters

  • +2

    Mask is important in Public and must be changed every four hrs.
    Must wear mask in Shared house.
    Wear disposable gloves and very important to use gloves at petrol statio s.

    Wear a face shield if it’s safe to do so.

    Raw Honey is a gem for this as it worked like a miracle for me.

    • how does raw honey help? hope you feel better soon!!

      • Relief from Fever, Cough and makes u feel better.

    • Raw honey from a shop or a local beekeeper?

  • -3

    Were you concerned about any damage poking around your blood-brain-barrier region with the test? (did you stick it deep into your nose?)

    • +2

      This is false and has been disproven

      Please refrain from conspiracy theory tangents

    • Sheeesshhh. Here comes the Vegan and the 5g believer.

  • Have you ever had an actual Flu before? i.e. Influenza, not just a cold.

    (Many people have say they have a 'flu' really just have a cold - Influenza means you are weak, sweaty and can barely leave your bed let alone go to work).

    • You can have the flu and not be that severe…

  • Has it impacted your libido?

    • +3

      Not at all

      • All is well then

  • +1

    Do you sneeze into tissues and do you dispose of it in the communal bin with the people you live with or do you isolate that bin?

    How about laundry, washing, toiletries and communal areas, do your household NOT regularly sanitise, is that why they are showing signs of symptoms?

    • +1

      We are taking necessary precautions but mate dunno for how long i am having this. So it’s alrdy spread.

      • Damn, sorry to hear that.

        How about dishwasher, is it set to highest temperature to wash, or do you use disposable plates and utensils until you're fully recovered?

        • +1

          No dishwasher here.

          Just keeping my utensils separate.

  • Do you feel discriminated in any way?

    • +3

      Yes cuz can’t have my butter Chicken.

      • +1

        It was a serious question though. Recently I've felt as if I can't even cough or sneeze openly. People glare as if I've asked to handover their first born.

        • Sneeze/Cough
          Just get tested.

          Of course ppl r more concerned abt sneeze too.

  • Which day did you start to self isolate?
    Did you keep going to work after getting cold/flu symptoms?

    • No just gt tested n advised to go self iso.

  • +2

    I have a hay fever hence have a mild flu symptom. (Sore throat, sneeze, runny/ blocked nose but no fever) should I be worried?

    • +1

      Mate get it tested.
      Hayfever doesn’t gv u sore throat.

      Get it checked ASAP.

  • +1

    Has your workplace done anything in response to you testing positive?

    • +1

      ISO

  • Were you wearing a mask when you got infected? If not, why not?

    • Was not mandatory back then and also didn’t bother.

      • -5

        obviously it wasn't mandatory back then, it's only been mandatory for the past 57 minutes. My question is why didn't you wear one? "didn't bother" isn't really an answer. Don't put up an AMA post if you're not prepared to answer the questions properly.

        Did you not take COVID-19 seriously? Did you not think it was real? I've been wearing a mask whenever I go out in public since February. it's always annoyed me seeing so many people not wear masks. You shouldn't have to wait for the government to force you to do something which is common sense.

        • +1

          I've been wearing a mask whenever I go out in public since February. it's always annoyed me seeing so many people not wear masks. You shouldn't have to wait for the government to force you to do something which is common sense.

          How things have changed in a few months. In Feb or Mar, people looked at you strangely and were often unhappy if you wore a mask.
          I know someone who was made to work from home because she was wearing a mask at work (her work colleague had a cold and worked next to her) -management got complaints that she was making others uncomfortable!

        • +2

          It seemed like for a while though that people who wore masks had the virus already and people were just afraid to put them on.

          Some media kept pushing the idea that masks are unnecessary and at one point I remember them saying it was a detriment to wear masks.

          There was a lot of confusion and misinformation out there.

          Now since it's being enforced, it all sounds like common sense.

  • Do you have to take any medication or just the raw honey that you mentioned?

    Hope you get better soon!!

    • Only Raw Honey.

      • +2

        Let us know if you need help, get ya some bat sliders and fresh butter chicken. 👍

  • Were you actually social distancing when around the person or were they a close friend, so, most likely you got it from the other person talking to you? That is, did you get it via vapour transmission?

    Or do you really think it might have been from the table or light switch?

    From the other posts:

    Seems like you're young and reasonably healthy and seems like you work in a job that involves moving around physically, not a paper pusher job, am I correct?

    aka you're most likely going to be answering our questions until your death in about 60 years time….

  • Did you sneeze during the nose swab and which nostril (L/R)?

  • How are your tp reserves?

  • Where do you think it started? Bats, biological attack?

    • +1

      Penguin with help from the riddler

  • +3

    Can you post a screen shot of your 5g speed test?

    • +2

      Be careful, joking about 5G tinfoilers can get your posts flagged as off-topic.

      • I don't even know what the topic is

  • Does your whole household have to self isolate since you’ve tested positive or is it only if they show symptoms?

  • +4

    For an AMA your answers are super cagey.

    • Please limit your questions to Rampart.

    • +1

      Yes

    • +4

      It’s more like - “ask me almost anything and I’ll answer in 3 words or less”.

    • +1

      Yes

  • +1

    You could spread the virus, why you keep going to work?

  • +6

    Can you have your mate make an AMA so we can get some useful answers?

  • This could’ve been such a good AMA, damn…

  • +2

    What’s the difference between honey and raw honey?

    Do you own shares in raw honey?

    • Raw aka unfiltered

    • +1

      Yes

    • Yes i wanna promote honey.

  • +1

    Yes

    • I say write a book on ur experiences

      yes that would be a real page-turner. 🙄

  • Did you get the annual flu shot? Have you had one in the years prior?

    All the best for a speedy recovery!

  • How many times you take raw honey daily? Can any raw honey help? Hope you all the best mate, and your family too.

  • What is your blood type?
