It's getting tough out there. Feeling the pinch?

Thank you @elsien

It's rife. My sister and her eldest have it also, and they are on the other side of the UK to me.

Feeling rough today, so not working today. Also feeling very grateful to other mums who have helped out with getting DD to school, and will drop her home later for us. So kind of them!

Hope everyone else who's tested positive is feeling OK and recovers quickly.

I too tested positive late last week, felt mildly poorly but have just worked from home this week.  My worst symptom was my heart racing which was really quite distressing - a new one for me, this is my fourth infection

I'm in hospital at the moment, and noticed yesterday that more and more nurses are masked up at the moment, I asked one yesterday when I went for a scan, and she said that with the children returning to school, the infection rates seem to be increasing at the moment.

I have had 5 vaccines and as yet touch wood haven't had it once

I am confused about this as when it started I worked at a factory with 800 people and not only did I never meet anyone who had the virus but not even anyone who knew someone who had it.
3 years later I still have never met anyone who has had it or knows anyone who has had it?

I've had Covid 3 times & had 4 vaccines, my sons have both had it once & one of my brothers has had it twice.

I have lost 3 friends to Covid and had it myself which made me feel poorly even though I had the jabs.

The very first week covid was announced as a problem, a lady in our street died of it. She came back from her annual vacation in Spain, feeling a bit off, and was gone 3 days later. Covid was very real to us from the start and we have always masked and desinfected properly.

Not a disbeliever by the way just someone totally untouched by it.
Maybe it never got to Lincolnshire.

I never caught it when I was at home. I put this down to the fact that I live in rural Norfolk, I am retired and live on my own and shopped midweek when the shops weren't busy. Both times I have caught it I was staying with my DD who also lives rurally but in the midlands and although she works mainly from home she has to go into the office now and again and also shops once per week in a large supermarket,.which I presume it is where she or her partner caught it
Hope everyone else who has it makes a speedy recovery. I finally got a negative result this morning so hopefully I will be able to go home at the weekend.
