Coronavirus outbreak

[Ajax Bay]

Wasn't this time/term last year a one day wonder? Till 8 March, iirc.
Just keep the little urchins at twice arms length; don't visit the common room, take a pack lunch, double mask with at least one an N95, make sure all the windows are open and steal the headmaster's air conditioning unit @Julia9054

The one day wonder was insane. But they like to listen to the science when it’s too late.

France extends mask-wearing in public places down to 6 years olds and quarantine shortened to five days if you test negative then https://www.france24.com/en/europe/...ion-for-covid-positive-to-7-days-from-10-days

PCR back negative😊 That doesn't really explain why I'm sore and fatigued from tit to todger + the coughing and breathlessness.

Waiting on a callback from my doc, hopefully strong drugs

Tit to todger? So legs still working enough for a gentle bike ride!

There are a couple of vicious colds circulating this winter and I've not heard of much beyond lemsip-and-menthol-style treatments to ease the wait for the body to fight them off.

It’s easy to think Covid-19 is the only thing going around. It’s not, there are other respiratory viruses in circulation

I've been recruiting a lot of muscle during cough fits not a recommended ab workout

I know several people who've needed antibiotics to resolve non-Covid related chest infections - as above, it's winter, other viruses are out there (and those pesky bacterial opportunistic infections too).
I know more people who've had Covid and not needed medical attention (me included, the cough was tickly and irritating, not chesty) (all were fully vaccinated and/or boosted)

I've been told to take paracetamol and give it a couple weeks. Dr Useless will see you now! Have binned work for a few days so I can stay at home wrapped in cats drinking tea and feeling sorry for myself

Do cats like tea? Is it safe for them?

But yes, unless you get a bacterial infection off the back of it like vickster mentioned, there seems to be naff all beyond painkillers, anti-inflammatories and stimulants against common colds still!

Work have told us not to go in if showing any illness - that was until Boris advised WFH again. We still had to work if poorly, although, if properly poorly, you called in 'sick'.

Mine do, they're also fond of cheese, porridge and yoghurts. Occasionally he will lick the flavour off a crisp

Mine likes milky bar mousse but generally won’t eat ‘human’ food…or Dreamies
