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. Not to worry, you just need one of these!

So now I am back in the office, I am back staying with family overnight for one night. Got back there v late last night after football and someone was up sorting their dog out. Nice chit chat...and then they told me one of them has Covid (again)! I mean, chances are I'll catch it again from the tube/pub/stadium than from them, but might have been nice to know!

Was going to visit relatives but a last-minute test revealed I have the lurgy. Had a slight cold at the beginning of the week but nothing awful. Felt ok for the passed two days but today I have curtail my plans as a result of the test result. This new variant is really getting around - a mate I was due to meet says his son has it as does a mutual friend we were going to see.

Yeah, I know six people that have got it in the last week. Kinda mad, not least given a lot of schools / workplaces aren't regularly testing any more.
I think the previous record for people I know getting it was three in a week, and that was after a rum festival.
Thank fuck for vaccines mitigating the worst of the effects.

Yeah just think how high the numbers are, and then think that so many aren't even bothering with PCRs any more, which is the only way you can be counted in the stats.

It is more than 1 in 20 now down here, that was a week ago. Friends dropping like flies (testing positive not actually having it bad that is - although one family were pretty down and the baby had a fever for days.)

The guy at work who got it the same day as me is still off, it was a few months back now and he still gets exhausted whenever he tries to do anything. He has just been signed off another month and is awaiting his long covid clinic appointment. He was triple jabbed the same as me with the only difference being is he is diabetic. He is a shitload fitter than I am though (or was before this).

Just waiting to get it. Whole family as been off all since Monday/Tuesday. Been testing daily but nothing yet. I’ve been a little under the weather - not to much- sometimes feel like I am at the start of a cold and chest can feel raw at times. get these waves where I feel slightly nauseous too but still keep testing negative. Don’t know whether it’s placebo effect or am feeling this way. I got three days off now so I probably get it tomorrow morning.
Perhaps I’m not sticking the testing kit in the right holes z

Having tested positive yesterday, I'm OK today. This leaves me to believe I had all last week without realising it. Again I had a mild cold - not really anything to write home about - early in the week. Hmm...fortunately I worked from home and only go out to the gym in the week. I reckon that's where I got it in the first place.

Daughter now down with it (along with half her class) and I have a suspicious sore throat, which is how she started yesterday morning.

If anyone wants to order any last LFDs I recommend you do so this morning... 👀

Damn... Still within the 72 hour window for the last order. Went through a couple of packs in no time with two sick notes in the house.
Still testing positive this morning despite feeling mostly fine since Thursday. It's just excessive phlegm really now, which is fun.

What are people supposed to do next month if we can't order LFT tests, is it a case of going to get PCR instead (every time the kids get cold symptoms and we don't wanna risk their classmates...or if we wanna do a precaution test before visiting elderly relatives)?
Classically terrible timing given cases seem to be approaching an all time high again.
