Andrew O’Dwyer is in his 40s and lives in London. He contracted the coronavirus after a ski trip in Italy last month. Andrew has type 1 diabetes and even when combined with coronavirus he says:
“it isn’t anything to worry about for me personally.
Andrew say’s he’s experienced much worse flu infections in the past compared to the coronavirus, but would not want to catch COVID-19 again!
The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing, which was quite debilitating.
He was not overly concerned and his fever was similar to what you’d get with the flu..
Andrew practiced social separation as a precautionary measure. When his friends became ill he was tested by NHS11 and 3 days later the infection was confirmed.
