Paul – who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s last June – then explained that he had been feeling exhausted, and this is what led to him thinking it could be coronavirus.
He wrote: “It seems that loads of us may have had it in the last few weeks, but the range of symptoms is very variable. The suspicious symptom, for me, is the exhaustion. New territory.”
