14 March 2020 : Covid-19 Continuous Cough.....

Could someone please define a continuous cough. My eldest daughter (who works in London) has a cough, it is only a gentle cough and she has had it for a few weeks.......however now I am getting really anxious. I keep asking her to wash her hands (which she would do anyway so i don't need to tell her), she is getting really cheesed off with me! I actually accused her of coughing near me on purpose cos she knows I am freaking out. That caused a full scale row between hubby and me! I can't help it - the words just come out of my mouth before I can stop them.

Totally freaking out now. What the hell is a continuous cough.......no amount of googling would clarify it for me. She was coughing a single cough every hour or so, nothing major so they were all saying, chill out mum, self-preservation was kicking in......

My physical health at this point is fine, no cough, no temp, no aches and pains - no one else in the house is showing any signs......I have asked them all to take extra precautions around the house......I am thinking payback for being a dirty smoker
