Velociraptor Jul 2021 8:32am, 21 Jul 2021 53,514 posts	0 Velociraptor Another of my colleagues had to leave work yesterday because she was unwell, and she did a LFT which was positive. If COVID is confirmed, it's highly likely that she was infected at work, and she and I spent quite a lot of time last week working together and saw a lot of the same patients, some of them in the COVID area (which is no longer separate from the main clinic). I'm on daily LFTs for the foreseeable, did a supermarket shop last night with an eye to the possibility of having to quarantine, and will be avoiding prolonged or indoor contact with other people.
Bazoaxe Jul 2021 8:37am, 21 Jul 2021 20,462 posts	0 Bazoaxe Ive decided I am not going to change much about the way I go about my life for the time being. I have managed to get a ticket for football tomorrow. Hibs qualified for Europe and we are allowed 4700 people in a 20000 stadium and I figure that should be OK. There are staggered entry times but I have seen comments from people refusing to show up early. I will get there, get in while quiet and just chill. Big test will be August when I have a staycation in York. However lets hope the weather continues and we can go with outdoor activities and we either eat in our accommodation or at places with outdoor seating.
DeeGee Jul 2021 8:40am, 21 Jul 2021 21,130 posts	0 DeeGee "refusing to show up early"? Hopefully they won't be getting in at all, then. There are many, many entertainments outside of the football where timed tickets to control capacity/queuing are a thing, and were so long before Covid was even a drawing of an idea in a lab in Wuhan. (joking about the Wuhan lab thing, obvs)
EvilPixie Jul 2021 8:43am, 21 Jul 2021 26,658 posts	0 EvilPixie oh v-rap I hope all stays negative my mum can't ever get hold of her surgery and has actually said (I can't believe she has said this but she has) "I have no idea what they are doing down there as they don't see anyone" She was supposed to get some stronger painkillers "They won't let me collect them from them, I've been a patient for 40 years. It's disgusting." she still hasn't got them or the prescription and when I ask why she hasn't contacted them "well if they can't be bothered, you'd think they would call me" She's got very bitter these last few months can't believe peoples actions or reactions and is a hermit not good
