I believe the theory with the current variants is that after day 5 they have lot so much potency the chances of passing them on are much reduced, but still, I agree RS, it's not a policy I'd be wonderfully comfortable with!

If I was still feeling too ill to work I wouldn't have had to go back after five days.
As it happens I feel absolutely fine today. Just the remnants of a snotty nose to get rid of, in a similar fashion to a common cold.
With the amount of coughing and snotty noses at work today I suspect there are more people who have just not tested!0 -
Another wet start to the day. Hopefully this extra rain doesn't cause people any more flooding.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is salmon, rice and vegetables.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
- watering the house plants

Yes - I knew that officially isolation was no longer a thing. Realistically Covid isn't going anywhere is it - we really do have to get used to living with it I think.
