Yup, sounds right on your story, Mike. Just take care and don't be stoic, call for help sooner than later.
Good stats are very hard to come by this early in the disease progression, but the majority of folk, circum 97%, are going to come through this just(!!) rueful, sore and lighter - and that is something that seems to be 'lost in translation'. The "Satan Bug" of cinematic fiction is not C19.

I'm afraid that that's not what the latest research reported today in Medscape says. It remains in aerosol for hours and on surfaces for days. Type of surface not specified. Seem to recall reading harder surfaces such as metal and glass ...longer compared to, say, cardboard but long enough on cardboard to raise questions about the best way to handle delivery items.
EDIT: And then you come across another study which suggests the opposite

If the chap on radio 4 today is to be believed they clearly haven’t ignored it as he was saying they are already at the animal testing stage with a vaccine & will move on to human testing in a few months.
