I was on a family holiday last week - plenty of coughs and colds around the resort. On return sister tested positive for Covid, I came down with nasty cold and lost sense of smell etc but tested negative on PCR, similar situation with other members of family. I’m currently isolating as wasn’t double jabbed long enough before exposure.
Just seeing how quickly everyone came down with this cold that’s doing the rounds made me realise how susceptible we still are to Covid, with schools going back, uni’s, return to work etc, no mask mandates etc get a feeling we’re in for a messy autumn/ winter. It’s certainly gonna make be more cautious over the next few months about what I do with regards to indoor socialising / public transport etc

Our office has started to encourage staff to all come in on a specific day of the week to try and get the office buzz back again and let people have internal meetings IRL - it hasn't officially started yet but this Tuesday it seemed like 80% of people were in. It was slightly overwhelming but nice to see people and socialise for the first time in ages.
Lo and behold I got an email from someone I sat adjacent to at lunchtime saying he's tested positive. Being double jabbed I don't need to isolate and I'm wfh the rest of the week anyway, and I'll do a PCR test tomorrow to be sure, but it's still kind of annoying to now feel paranoid about whether I'm starting to feel ill or not.
Can't decide if it means that it's still too early to be doing this kind of thing or if we just have to deal with it. I imagine the majority of the office is double jabbed, so the risk is lower than unvaxxed kids, but clearly there's a lot of covid still around.
