Update. Daughter has been off for a Covid test this morning as her “cold” has developed into a temperature. So in line with government and school policies we are now awaiting results. She was unable to provide the throat swab and wasn’t particularly happy with the squab up the nose.
In the event of an inconclusive test.....we are house bound for 14days!!! Better get online and order some more beer....might be a long 2 weeks!!
I’ve had this twice so far with my kids, and additionally my wife had to spend 2 weeks at home as track-and-trace said she’d been near someone who later tested positive. As far as we know (negative tests for the kids, no symptoms for the better half) we haven’t had COVID. It is all massively disruptive!!!

had similar with Clara a couple of weeks ago ..... was one hot little girl for 24 hrs or more ... neg. test though so relief in this house as she'd been sat on my lap for two hours, when she came home from school, feeling unwell.(but not hot, 'til late evening)
Normally in the field flogging Xmas trees this time of year. It is rather wet today so I am happy for the staff to take the lead today!!
had a decent day here for a change ... limited sun, but dry and incredibly still ... not a breath of breeze, which is very unusual for us

No way in the world I’d have track and trace. My wife is very straight - tows the line and does everything by the book. I told her to feign symptoms and get a test (if negative she could have returned to normality) but she wouldn’t even do that!
We live surrounded by woodland, and it is very quiet around here. One day whilst isolating she took the dogs for a walk in the woods (off our land, no more than 1/4 mile from home, very little chance of seeing anyone else). When she got home she received a message through track and trace reminding her not to leave her house...
Mobile phones are a nightmare!!!

Any time anyone ever calls me they say is this James soandso I always ask who's this before confirming. The second anyone says track and trace they're getting dinked, and no I don't have the app!
If I feel ill I'm sensible enough to know what to do.

always my first Q., if I don't recognise the number, or doesn't come up in my directory, is "who am I speaking to please ? " followed by " what's it in connection with? " if I'm none the wiser who they are :rolleyes:;)

Exactly. I'd rather use common sense. In my case I can easily isolate for a couple of days and assess how I am.

That was a threat of terrorism, you should have alerted authorities immediately!
