Yes, again. My missus had covid the week before Christmas, didn't test negative until Christmas Eve. She reckons she caught it from one of the teachers in school that she had spent the whole day with, and had a positive PCR test two days before the missus. This teachers two daughters also tested positive. (God knows how I didn't, for the second time).
Anyhow, this teacher has just phoned the missus to say she won't be in tomorrow as she has tested positive, as has one of her daughters. So that's 3-4 weeks between infections.
My missus thought she was safe after having it so recently but, of course, we don't know which variant she had and whether this teacher had delta now omicron or the other way round. Or if it's omicron twice.
Boris is saying all restrictions will be lifted on 26th, so I'm guessing we'll all just be carrying it around after that.
No arguments for or against anything here, just an observation.

She's not trying to swing the lead a bit, as we used to say in these parts?

No. Despite what the mass media would have us believe, the vast majority of teachers are conscientious and hard working.

I'm not surprised really ,the Omicron strain is very spreadable .
could well have been Delta last time and Omicron this time .
Some people are more susceptible to illness than others, you can reduce the risk in many ways ,Vitamin D supplements etc .
Being a teacher surrounded by snotty nose, germ ridden kids for 5 days a week can't help .
Whilst the current Vaccines do help reduce serious illness in the vaccinated, they don't stop the spread ::)
I hope science comes up with a real solution soon and the long term effects of exposure to repeated variants of covid isn't serious ,there are already "long Covid" sufferers who will be a drain on resources indefinitely :(
I do hope no one gets seriously ill with the latest bout Uncle Stemo :)

Our youngest grandson has just tested positive he's 9 years old not seen any of them for a couple of weeks, we were going to pop over today but will give it a miss for a few days, re the 26th we will still not take unnecessary chances the only thing I miss is my daily swim can't be arsed to book sessions via the net, we both walk 4-5 miles every day so fitness is still good.

Is this the same Omicron that was developed to mitigate the effects of the original Chinese Virus.

From the same Chinese lab or a Seff Efrican lab? ;D

The study that implied it was from Wuhan iirc. DR Campbell revised its findings in a video I linked to last week ;)

Aye, I agree. Unlucky to catch it twice in such a short time, which was what raised my suspicions.
Teaching (school children, at least) is a fairly vocational profession IMHO, but everywhere has bad apples...
-
60 percent of an infant school local to us are off due to testing positive , seems to be a lot of children now becoming infected although symptoms are just reported as being " cold like".

Great granddaughters special needs school has closed once again due to spread of covid.

Once again my boss has returned to work from another dose of the pundemic ::)
Me "how yer feelin gov" ; him "kin germ keeps attacking me ; Day 6 at home and the dog is looking at me like, "See? Dad this is why I chew the furniture!" :(

Chances are she's been positive since catching it initially.
As long as you don't have the temperature, you can have loss of taste and coughing for a couple of months after.
In which case testing is a waste of time unless you feel unwell.

Ah..yes...but hypochondriacs can't merely feel well and get on with their lives. They need to know they are not ready to snuff it.
A test will put their minds at ease......for an hour or so. ::) ::)

Some may be convinced the kit is faulty because they just KNOW they are seriously ill and minutes from death.
Another test is required. ::)

I have to admit that i have never had a Covid test. I've felt fine all through this shitstorm so never felt the need. Am i being selfish or are others in the same boat? I went to a Pink Floyd tribute band concert last week and it just got me thinking, as it was the first time i have gone to a crowded venue during the pandemic.
-
I have yet to do a test since I finished self isolating from the Chinese Virus.
-
I've only done two tests.
First when I had to go to hospital about a year ago for a colonoscopy ( ::)) and the second was when I was asked to do one by Imperial College as part of a random national study.
All came back good. :y Including the colonoscopy! :D

I've had one. It was required before they shoved a long black tube gone my gullet and into my stomach without any sedation. :-X
Not half as much fun as it sounds. ::) ::) :)
