Sort of in the same club mate. Was due to go up to Loch Lomond tomorrow but the Mother in law has just had 2 positive lateral flow tests and awaiting her results of a PCR from 5pm today. We had contact yesterday for my sons birthday. Suppose its 10 days for us now too and no trip up north.

The lad has a bit of a headache but he also had a massive weekend on the lash so it might just be general knackeredness, plus confining himself to his room and staring at an iPad all day……

Good luck mate, hopefully we’ll both get the all clear.

All the best to you and your families, men.
The Delta strain lockdown has now been extended for the week as cases start to mount, predominately in Sydney.

The biggest fear l have now, unlike other strains, is that the Delta strain supposedly affects children.

After my daughter spent time last year, locked away in a COVID ward, the thought of having a child treated the same way ( without any family around for support ) ….. is a real concern.

How do you explain to a young child that mummy or daddy can’t be with them ? They will be freaking out, for sure.

Just entered limbo…..my son was called by a mate he’d been drinking with on Friday night to say that he had tested positive twice on lateral flow tests. My son’s work (good employer) immediately sent him to get a PCR test done, now he’s back here holed up in his room and we wait up to 72 hours for the results. No symptoms, he’s had one jab, due the next on 14 August. We’ll get him to do a flow test later. If he comes back positive from the PCR we all go into isolation and I miss the Millwall game.

Not the end of the world especially as no actual illness involved, but you can see how this stuff spreads so quickly - if the boy did catch it last Friday he was in busy and crowded places full of people enjoying themselves all Saturday. Irony is he is the only one in my house to have downloaded to COVID app - and he has never been pinged.

My advice is get yourself down to to the Rs, if you've been double jabbed and so has every one else. There's no problem?

The jabs should stop you getting seriously ill, hopefully, but no guarantee you won’t get it, even with no symptoms, and pass it on to someone else. Don’t really want to add to Stainsey’s workload.

Probably find out tomorrow.

To be honest mate, they are nice easy jobs and we have an algorithm to work to……I don’t mind really. The pain is wiping down the truck afterwards….I never realised there were so many places to catch your fingers on when wiping down an ambulance :)

I feel conned by this double jab malarkey. If you've been double jabbed and I've been doubled jabbed then we're all good right?

I have a good friend who went into Kingston Hospital with Covid, he is now on the Covid ward with pneumonia. He had no resistance to infection though. He shielded for eighteen months and then fell ill. The covid ward in this hospital was empty in November. I know the bed manager there.
( She has another title, but I can't remember what it is. )

It’s odd what it does to your brain. I’m pretty knackered myself, heavy weekend, bit of stress (easily manageable, not real stress) around, all round tired. I felt like I was coming down with a cold last night and of course that immediately translated into ‘COVID’ in my head.

Feel absolutely fine after a good nights sleep though.

Funny you say that ‘cos me and my crewmate were saying the exact same thing….nowadays anyone gets a slight headache, temperature, feels fatigued etc…straight away we think COVID.
We seem to forget…infections, coughs and colds haven’t now gone away…

It's a difficult one to navigate mate. Personally I'm thinking of ****ing off QPR and finding an Island where all of this covid bollacks and pc **** doesn't matter. All I need is shelter, food and warmth. I think I've found the answer.

I spent a couple of days here last week - remote enough for you?

Boys PCR has come back negative. His work wants him to take a lateral flow test tonight before he returns to make sure. No one in the house has any symptoms.

Looks like I’m on for the Millwall match. This stuff puts a bit of a crimp on your week though.

Hope you get similar news Bob.
