Covid

[NotAllThere]

Did you stay away from your family members who had to go and mix with other people?

Who do you think I caught it off? With two teachers in the family, I'm going to get whatever is going around.

My Wife caught it a couple of weeks ago on a plane back from Spain. I didn't get it.

NHS will be bad.

It's currently ripping through are home, wife got it when she was in mainland Europe last week and has been off her feet for most of this week, and she kindly passed it on to me and the kids who seem to be getting on with life ok so far! We are all vaccinated and caught it two years ago.

We had some tests lying about, she tested positive I'm still negative but have mild symptoms. It could make for an interesting winter for the NHS.


The schools response was interesting for the youngest, it's always been the case of 48 hours off if they have a diky stomach but are now asking for 48 hours off if they call in sick with any symptoms.

I've had all the symptoms of covid for the past two weeks. Still carried on working (from home). I didn't get tested because frankly does it matter?

I thought you had to pay for tests now?

You do, but they're not that expensive. I get mine from Boots, and they're about £2 each.

If I lose my sense of smell then yeah I'll think I have covid, otherwise I would just assume it's a cold.

There's been a few people at my client who have been off with covid lately.

I just hope they also consider taking time off when they catch a cold. I like that people finally realise that isolation when you're ill reduces the spread of disease.

here you go

Where's the face palm smiley when you need it?

(Next week we're due to have 2 days of planning meetings with over 100 people present in the meetings, I think I'll WFH for the duration!)
