My wife has had a cough for over a week along with the little one. It's got slightly worse, but not significantly so. He she has asthma and has previously had steroids and antibiotics when she gets one. She decided to ring the surgery and told them it was an existing cough, no other symptoms. Surgery said to phone 111, so she did. They said "self isolate and phone your GP". She rang the GP back and asked for a phone appointment - which she's got and is waiting for the GP to call back.
Not exactly instilling confidence..........
Edit: changed it to make clear she has had steroids/antibiotics for coughs before, but not for this current cough

Update: surgery rang back and said they won't treat her and she should call back 111. She's called twice and been cut off twice after holding for 10 minutes each time.
111 have just sent a referral to the GP surgery for her to be seen.

Oh, and the second 111 operator apologised and said her colleague should not have told her to self isolate as it was an existing cough, not a new one.
Queue for 111 was 50 people BTW.
Waiting for the nursing practitioner to get back from a home visit so an appointment can be made for today.

Before anyone else reposts that page from a 1981 novel that "predicted the outbreak of the coronavirus," please read this first. Much obliged.
Was Coronavirus Predicted in a 1981 Dean Koontz Novel?
A speculative anticipation of a possibility is very different than a 'prediction.'www.snopes.com
I’ve just been sent this similar story about a book first published in 2008. Apologies if it’s been posted already
Apparently it’ll disappear as suddenly as it appeared, so all is well folks

Thing is our local surgery is excellent, I mean I've not a bad word to say about it. I can get an appointment at the drop of a hat either online or by calling up when they open (that's a bit of a redial competition). So I was really confused when she told them it was existing, but they insisted that she call 111. Twice.
Cut off on 111 three times, once after waiting nearly 15 mins. 40 mins in total.

so that you limeys get a taste, this is what you'd hear in the states, a dozen times a day. they're all reading from the same script, the idea being to open a firehose of politicization to keep the momentum on their side. they'll never waver and we'll see in a month or two if trump succeeds in making himself the victim yet again.

Apparently the guidelines have just been changed. We're having a home visit from the GP who just told my wife this on the phone.
