Ahh - it's our turn.
Our boy (10) tested -ve on a RAT before school yesterday. Got home, looked like sh!t. Had a temp of 39, tested again and +ve.
Looks like he is following the pattern of other kids that we know who got it, so he should be OK in a couple of days.
Fever is down to the low 38s, but we all have to isolate for the week and hope that we don't take it in turns to test positive.
No idea where he got it from - there are quite a few options!
Had to let his cricket team know (I'm the coach), make arrangements for training, match, after match mini celebration for the end of the season, work out what to do for the fathers'/son game on Sunday and he gets to miss the presentation day as well. Had to let his tennis team know as well - as well as opposition for both sports. Then there is the school run around, and friends who he mucked around with on the weekend. After that is the other extra curricular activities for both of them as well to advise that they won't be attending this week.
After doing the school stuff (the better half did this), we have been contacted by the council's health service, who were pretty friendly and just going over things. We get to do a daily check in with them.
Then there's all our stuff - cancelled planned client visits, couple of medical appointments, planning day on Sat for a client etc. Letting all the extracurricular activities know. I think doing this you realise sometimes how much goes on in our lives,
Hopefully, he is the only one that will get Covid, however, if we are all to get it, hopefully it is close to within a week of each other. Worst case scenario is that we get it one week at a time and our daughter (6) is the last one - so she would have to isolate for 4 weeks.
