Im obviously self isolating due to family members being positive, my workforce of 4 employees all have positive tests over this last week, along with numerous people i know, more than ive ever known since the beginning. The virus is rampant up here for various reasons but none of the above are seriously unwell, looks like the vaccines are offering some form of protection.
Look after yourselves and do something self improving during your isolation. Bone setting perhaps…. As I saw Beth on Saturday (actually stood next to her for the match, though such is the differential in height I doubt there was much risk there….) she very responsibly alerted me and others to her test result. I tested negative yesterday, but once again was feeling a bit crap last night. Fine again this morning and another negative test, perhaps my learning is that I’m old, big weekends take it out of me (had a big Friday night as well). No pinging as I don’t have the app. But if you have any nervousness about the virus do not go to the football, at least not QPR. There were multiple occasions- in a couple of pubs, in the horrendous queues to get in, in the crowded ground, on trains, where I could have been infected. The excitement of being back at a ‘proper’ game and seeing old friends made me forget about the virus for a bit, but in retrospect it was a bit nuts. I wonder if we will see a spike from this first weekend back at the footy. Very little mask wearing going on except on the tube - which wasn’t too crowded when I got on, the only people not wearing masks were the posh, QPR supporting parents of a couple of teenagers (wearing masks) and a younger boy (mask round neck) on the way back from the match. I lacked the energy to challenge but felt like smashing their faces in, arrogant ****s. I also wore my mask on the crowded train back, but very few others did, so a waste of time. All of this is fine as long as none of us end up in hospital or dead, but we know that some will. All gone Wild West.
I’m a bit late seeing this but first up, hope it goes well for you, Beth. I’m very interested to hear of your result, especially being you’ve been jabbed twice. I was going to say, stay positive, in a nice way but l will retract that thought. Fingers crossed then.
Cheers pal. Back on the trowel tomorrow as my 10 days iso are up. The vaccines seem to be doing something as all barring one of the people i personally know have been double jabbed. Still unwell but like a heavy cold most describe it as.
Bob I am happy that your symptoms are like a heavy cold - nobody likes colds but it could have been so much worse. Take care
