Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Nb1 child's class is being winnowed by covid - almost a third of a class of 30 in the past couple of weeks.

It feels like it's just a matter of time now.

Did a lateral flow test last night ahead of an evening class as I had what I thought was a cold. Am positive. Isolated at home over night.

Other half does tests for everyone else this morning, both girls positive but she’s negative (for now).

I was like you @TW - thought it was only a matter of time with two kids in (separate) school(s).

To add insult to injury, the dog threw up a sock and a face mask overnight and now has the squitters.

Another two in the class this morning.

We all LFTd last night, and were negative.

5 year old is symptomatic and feels rough this morning, so we're keeping them home - we're reluctant put them through another test just now, as they do not react well at all.

No dog poo though.

funny

hope you are okay

Should make battle for third at the tour interesting!

Hope it’s only mild for you all

hope it goes easy on you dude. the blacktop and not so blacktop awaits

One of our dogs chews on synthetic furry blankets. Occasionally I find bits of dead Kermit littering the woods he has shat out.

Spent 3 hours in a car and had lunch inside with someone on Sunday who'd tested negative in the morning then went down with it that evening.

Hoping that having had Delta and 3 jabs might mean I'm immune, but I'm probably screwed right?

It seems pretty random.

My whole family is now isolating from me, as the only one without covid/suspected covid (they’re all doing fine). Operation Save Big Dog in full flow.

3 hour lunch in a civic?

Hah that wasn't worded well was it.

I try to discourage eating in the car as it lives on the street and we don't have a rechargable hoover.

Also it was seafood.

Has transpired that there was a miscommunication and our friend went down with it yesterday morning, not Sunday evening. So my chances of not getting it (again) seem a lot better now even if she almost certainly would have had it on Sunday.

the dog threw up a sock and a face mask overnight and now has the squitters.

We've all been there

When I last looked I couldn’t find any further information on the “middle 50%”.
Have you seen anything?

All restrictions lifted on Tuesday in Denmark.

Just had my first positive covid test. Seemed inevitable eventually, my job means I'm out and about in public all day and come in to contact with quite a lot of people. Awful timing though, I'm missing out on seeing my step sister who's visiting from Australia for the first time in years.

This covid lark is a bit shit eh? I'm incredibly grateful that I'm double jabbed and boosted, am in my early 30s and am generally fit and healthy with a good immune system. If this is a mild version, I really wouldn't fancy getting a less mild version.

Ditto, I’ve yet to get infected despite being open since the first lockdown in customer-facing roles.

Exes household has COVID...again. This time ex tests positive and my son may have it too.

Son testing negative on LFT, so does exes missus. 5 year old feels off. But she can't smell and mini Westland is coughing/feeling rough, so even though tests are negative they probably have it.

Joy....!

Antigen tests i presume? They did some reporting on the news here just a day ago. None of the tested antigen tests picked up omikron unless one had a lot of virus, only when the load was alot bigger did it give a reading for it. Worked much better on delta variant. More or less meaningless for omicron was the conclusion as u can not with any certainty exclude that you have it even after a negative test.

Hope u are all well soon.

Ah that's possible, the ex is definitely testing positive but they also go by symptoms.

We didn't get it but not seeing son until they are all better. Last time he stayed with us for 10 days but now he has it too.

I tested him Tuesday here and he was fine definitely picked up there.

They luckily don't seem to be too ill, no symptoms here, fingers crossed.
