Hope your partner gets through it without feeling too bad, and that you manage to avoid it.
It’s so bloody stressful trying to juggle work and home life with covid testing at this time of year, I almost wish that we had locked down (not really), at least there would have been certainty. I had (what I thought was) a +ve LFT a week ago. Very faint line, you could barely even see it unless you squinted at it under a light, but I did what I thought was the right thing - phoned in sick to work, went for a PCR, and camped out in the attic away from my family. The PCR came back -ve, and I felt like a twat for inconveniencing everyone.
Partner tested positive today. Yesterday, I tested negative and opened our Crisis shelter, welcoming in the first 150-odd guests. We had about 40% dropout rate in our volunteers (COVID among the causes), and just about made things work by the skin of our teeth.
So I’m having to stay home to do childcare, and leave the shelter short of experienced management and also hope I don’t have brewing Cov that I’ve spread to a bunch of vulnerable people (tho I’ve tested negative today).
Fuck this shit.
