I haven't even finished warming up. Sounds like an amazing way to spend your precious time on this planet.

Son tested positive yesterday, two years of dodging it over. Kids were supposed to go to their mum's this week and I'd finaly lined up a new heating install, timing perfect. Luckily heating engineers are being understanding and doing all the external work first.

600 of whatever unit of measurement it was, so about a fingers worth probably. Watching the video and all the palaver about putting your hand in water, drinking 6 pints of water the day before and a couple of glasses before the test makes it seem like a leg full which is what it was in my head whilst doing it.

Dougs - do they give you the results and if so is it both times or just after the second test?

My partner did it too and the amount of blood she had to squeeze out was stomach churning. No way would I do it.

Jugular vein probably your best bet for medium to large quantities of blood. Won't take long

It's only a vial-full but takes a surprising amount of time out of a couple of pin pricks.

Those case numbers are starting to shoot up a bit here in Blighty aren’t they.

I volunteered to have some antibody testing done as part of testing positive last week and have just done it via a kit posted to home. I wasn't expecting the amount of blood they required, thinking it would be just a pin prick. I need the Brave Little Soldier thread Heh, it’s quite a lot isn’t it? And especially after you’ve warmed your hand up, it’s blood all over the coffee table.

I'd be interested to know if BA is still going to require their crew to wear masks.

Correct, it’s over. Enjoy the rest of your life indoors though terrified of getting a cold.

Few days in now, no worse than a cold for the most part but I've lost my sense of smell completely and it's every bit as weird as I suspected.
Also got absolutely fuck all appetite. I had a bag of cheese & onion Walkers for tea and even that was a push.

If I could get some common sense back at the same time then that's a net win for me.

Unfortunately I'm still carrying a bit of lockdown weight so I couldn't quite get a condom to fit around my entire body when I wanted to go outside.
