Don't want to depress anyone, but outbreak at my daughter's school (South London) last week with a number of children testing positive and their bubble shut down on Thursday. My partner tested positive yesterday morning so we're now all isolating - she seems to mostly have symptoms of a bad cold/cough & I'm expecting there's a good chance I'll get it too. But we've both had first doses of vaccine so presuming it could be worse.
In retrospect I suspect younger child had it at start of last week - she complained of a headache and was a bit hot (but no temperature) - however at that point cases seemed to have decreased so much it being covid didn't cross our mind. Obviously any sort of social distancing (or even hygiene) between 4 year olds at school is pretty much impossible.
No idea if this is down to an easy spreading variant, or just that testing is so much more widespread that it's being quickly detected in children with minimal symptoms.
PCR tests for us should be arriving tomorrow, which I presume may establish if it's a variant or not.
