Well after my daughter having Covid back at the beginning of July whilst at University, this evening my 14 year old son, who has felt rough for the last 24 hours, tested positive. We are booked for a PCR test tomorrow morning.
Talking to my son it seems that at least a quarter of his school have now got or had Covid over the last month. Two of his classmates also tested positive this evening.
Although being double jabbed my wife and I are not required to self isolate, we are going to stay away from people for the next 10 days as we hate the idea we might accidently pass it on.
I am also taking the opportunity to use this as a chance to reiterate to my boy the importance of personal responsibility. He gets it, which is pleasing.
Sorry to hear this, hope he’s OK.
Weirdly, my school is so far more or less unaffected. But then we had it very badly last autumn (at one point lasting six weeks about a fifth of all children were off for six weeks - different fifths as we played whack a mole with new cases).
I wonder if those schools that escaped lightly last time are now going to get it badly? If so, that’s going to put more pressure on the exam system.
