:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Coronavirus the thread for all your fears PT II ā“

So despite spending 2 weeks around sister-in-law (who tested positive on Tuesday), including a 45 min car journey on Monday morning, neither myself nor Mrs Waylander have caught it.

Bird and I both had second boosters today, (fourth jabs.) No side effects at all, no arm ache or anything else. :+1::+1:

Update on ours, the bird woke up in the small hours with a painful arm. Had to dig out the painkillers for her :slightly_frowning_face:

Pfizered up today, didn’t even feel the needle go in, not sure she actually injected me…

Any actual positive tests? The bird and I are still getting over bouts of what I’d have sworn was a dose of covid. But we’ve been testing relentlessly, daily tests since hers started (she had hers for a couple of weeks, mine was less than a week) and each test has shown negative. We’ve used four separate packs now, so it can’t be down to a duff batch.

Well the current Zoe app data on Covid testing is showing there’s more than twice as many testing have colds rather than Covid so you’re not alone. The symptoms are the same.

12 confirmed now

now trying to identify patient zero so i can persecute them. We have already identified the ā€œcourierā€ who now has it and hugged just about everyone on the night

Disappointingly Mrs P_F has failed to catch Covid this week and she now has to attend the office party.
She REALLY doesn’t want to go and on top of that, she has been tasked with reviving her old career and singing with the band for much of the evening.
She’ll get back pissed at about 2am fall over a few times, wake me up and I have a 4am alarm call to drive down to the Mountains to collect clients where they currently have over a metre of snow and more forecast overnight.
I am chucking down Vitamin C pills after freezing my tits off last night and possibly catching an old fashioned chill.

YoungAdult#1 has been laid low with dreaded lurgie for a week.

Has taken tests and was negative- (she was working in a testing lab during the pandemic - not that it’s particularly relevant), but she’s been covid jabbed up but didn’t have a flu jab.

At my place there’s a lot of younger people going off with flu - who haven’t had the flu jab - and are self diagnosing it’s covid.

Hmmm :thinking: Unofficial management policy is to call Covid self diagnosis without a test as bullshine… šŸ¤·šŸ¼

Good thinking. :+1::+1: Get the workshy fuckers in, so they can spread their flu or whatever it is among the rest of the workforce. :smile:

Tbf we’re telling the work-shy fuckers to stay at home and not bring their pestilential diseases in to the office spread amongst everyone else in the run up to xmas.

I had a ā€œfillerā€ job this afternoon - a contract taking 2 groups of 6 kids from Nursery to swimming lessons. Easy money and a pleasant young lady for company looking after the kids.
School 1 - 1 kid 5 off sick.
School 2 - no kids - all off sick.
Even easier money and damn that’s a lot of coincidence at the same time sick kids

Wouldn’t have happened it there was no media coverage highlighting dodgy contracts.

Clients have it Mrs P_F has it.
Cough Syrup and a strange old local med from Dubai - Flutab keeping me functioning.
