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!!Can't you continue to self isolate in your cab?

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!!!

That's why you dont have anything to do with track and trace ..

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
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)
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

Kids are just tiny incubators for disease. Sounds like CV19 is giving an easy excuse to nursery's to send the little buggers home early!

Still three/four days off work every time getting a test and waiting for results.

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!!!

Don’t need to - it’s if you show one of the symptoms you are supposed to get tested. It’s been a new cough in our case.

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

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

Yup. But he always has a temperature, he’s a sickly kid.

Ok so had one of those last week...it's "Jason" from Microsoft I just laughed! Midday on a Saturday in middle of bacon and eggalways 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
so laughed a bit more he then went off on one...said he wasn't from Bangladesh (I politely asked if he was from there) he was from Pakistan ...started calling me some pretty un repeatable names he'd obviously picked up from US movies...then said ok you want another 911 ? You getting one you son of a b*tch. Amusing but can't say it improved my feelings towards them lot.

COVID UPDATE. The snot sample didn’t have any traces so I am allowed back out!! The thought of home schooling for 2 weeks had me worried more than the potential problem of having COVID!!
