It also finally got me last Saturday, after thinking I had some kind of wizard T cell set up all this time. Still tested positive this morning and oddly the lines seem to be getting stronger again having got weaker on day 4&5. I don't know what to make of that. Symptoms wise, I've not been so bad- I felt groggy on the first day (the reason I tested) and dizzy and tired on days 2 and 3, and have been coughing quite a lot. Sore throat in the last day or two.
The worst bit (although I realise this is nothing compared to other people's problems!) is trying to parent and not pass it on. This is purely for selfish reasons - I don't want to pass it to anyone in the house as next weekend we are due to go away and I really don't really want to hand over COVID children to grandparents. On Thursday night Mrs Oat was out on a work trip, and Friday was my turn to look after the 2 year old and pick the 5 year old from school. That was hard. I had an fpp2 mask on, but still wanted to be precautious. Trying not to breathe out in the same room as the kids you're looking after / trying to put to bed was really stressful, and was hard for the children too who hadn't seen me for 5 days, but who didn't understand why I didn't want to get close to them. I'll be really miffed after all that they catch it anyway!
