I am in the Club

Posted by Ray Schaufeld on Tue, 22 Feb 2022

I am in the Covid Club.

I tested positive this morning. I have notified everyone I can possibly think of. I have posted a big Covid notice on my front window displaying my positive test and told everyone who reads it to stay away from my house until I remove my notice.

I am staying at home for at least five days.

My covid app tells me to self-isolate for 11 days.

The government is now removing all restrictions including those for people in my situation this Thursday.

WTF!!!

Rachel - I'm so sorry to hear you're sick. Hope you get well soon and that the symptoms aren't too horrible. Take care! xx

Thanks for your good wishes, Claudine. I am well. I might even mop my kitchen and sitting room floors today or even tomorrow.

BTW I test myself with a lateral lfow test every Tuesday because I play in a ukulele group in Exeter and we have all agreed to self test as many of our members who play uke and sing are over 60, including myself (I'm 65) and we meet in the Social Club of Devon County Hall. Before I tested I was not aware of any symptoms. I now am aware of a very mild sore throat.

I have had 2 vax and I had my booster on November 9 last year. It appears to have worked for three and a half months. I shall have another booster if I am offered one.

How very dare you try to give me advice, CM. I can beat old Novax Djokovic all moonlight long. and that's from within my courtyard real ten-ball minigarden at home in Exmouth, East Devon.

BTW thanks for the good wishes.

On Wednesday I had a good chat on my landline with Julian, the Devon County Council  track and trace officer. Julian said I did not need to stay at home. I can go out provided I stay six feet away from other people whenever possible.

I am following his wise advice.

From Wednesday onwards I have felt very well and I continue to thrive.

Me too, Elsie :0) Glad to hear you are all clear, now. Am not really understanding guidance. Still have symptoms over a week since getting the temperature. Presumeably should not leave the house so long as coughing etc,  do you think?

Hi Di Hard

I wish you a speedy recovery

Lateral flow will show whats what

If you have a cough use a hanky or if no hanky cough into your hand

Outdoor fresh air is good

All the very best
