There’s been a lot of interest in response to my previous tweet about catching Covid. Here’s an update for you on what’s happened. I offer no medical or scientific expertise. This is just my first-hand experience. 1. My initial symptoms were a headache, a blocked nose and a bit of a cough. It felt like a cold, and I thought it was a cold.
2. When I feel I’m starting to come down with something, I take echinacea, vitamin C and zinc. I also took things like Lemsip/DayQuil/NightQuil

HOW YOUR PHONE CAN PROTECT YOU 📱

☎️ Pressing the side button quickly 5 times can trigger an emergency call. Like this ⬇️.

If that's ALL you can do it's better than nothing. The police won't get an exact fix on your location but will be able to triangulate you pretty well. ⚙️ Invest in the 5 mins setting it up. Search for 'Emergency' in Settings. Enable/disable the auto-call as you wish. If you disable, then a lock screen comes up and all you have to do is swipe right to make the call instead. No dialling needed.
