Talking to a friend this morning.  She has all the symptoms of covid so phoned to sort out a test.  Her nearest testing centre is about 10 miles away.  When she explained she is a widow and no longer drives she was advised to get the bus!  She queried whether this was advisable areas told it would be alright as they do not have the facility to post it to her.

Needless to say she's staying indoors.

Shocking!

Oh, that is really bad.   I think my neighbour, who is a bus driver, would be fairly angry about that. I hope your friend is feeling better.    Mrs Bouquet

She's fine, her neighbours are leaving shopping on the doorstep.  She's walking round the garden for exercise and by her own admission watching lots of tv.

I think the best bet is stay put tbh. 

A test will confirm things, but if you have any of the symptoms, the advice is to isolate.  So long as your friend is well enough to deal with it at home and is being looked after as regards supplies, she is way better off there.

I can’t see the logic in telling her to get on a bus to possibly infect others, just to add to the stats
