Toodle pip
Only just discovered this post and I am itching to know how they got onI work with idiots. (Not the learners; the staff.)
A colleague is apparently off on a 2-week international holiday in a few days, with all his family, to get some sun. Booked the flights and everything. Very keen.
1. Going on holiday is currently illegal.
2. The country they think they're going to requires 2 weeks of quarantine on arrival.
3. They'd have to quarantine for 2 weeks on return.
How far do you think they'll get, urbs?
Turned back from the airport here? Arrested? Somehow manage to wrangle an essential travel permit to get there, but be stuck indefinitely? Even somehower get there and back, but have to pay for an additional fortnight's hotel quarantine?
So what the fuck are you doing here, then? You clearly despise the place and the people in it.

Very sad for them both - I guess his 'dad' won't see him again and I think having him for companionship and walkies meant a lot to his 'mum'. We're glad she does have lodgers living with her so she won't be on her own at least, but what an awful time to lose a dog. 
I'm going to take a bit of credit here (in my earlier post**) for provoking the fucker

Being here is evidently, by your own words, a miserable experience for you...and yet here you are, still. What on earth is your motive for staying here, since you seem to find its denizens and their views so offensive?

, but you're not showing any original thinking yourself, in your 'response' ... 
They got there and back, and don't seem to have infected anyone or been infected. I didn't ask whether they quarantined when they got to their holiday destination, as I imagined they hadn't.
Thanks William. Nothing at all. I have a thermometer and I'm in the normal range. I usually run pretty cool anyway. No breathing issues, no cough. If I'm gonna get any symptom I'd rather it be the loss of taste, temporarily, cos I could do with not eating too much while I can't go out at all. I've had the first part of the Pfizer vaccine a couple of weeks ago so this is a bit of a surprise although I'm well aware that doesn't protect you completely.
Might be a false positive. My wife had a completely unexpected positive test after not leaving the house for over a week, with zero symptoms and then got a negative the following day. We self isolated just to be on the safe side, but I'm 99.9% sure she didn't have it, especially as I tested negative myself throughout.
I suspect this is the case. I was actually due to start using lateral flow tests last week so I can swab and test myself at home, don't currently have the equipment as on annual leave, and was expecting a false positive from that but this was a swab test I did and posted yesterday afternoon. I'm in no hurry to go back so will wait from feedback from the office tomorrow before doing another test. The thing is would a false negative from the next one be more likely than a false positive this time?
Given I'm working with vulnerable and shielding people I would tell me to isolate for 10 days regardless.
Nope.

Yes having done extensive online training last week I'm well aware of that but I've not actually done any LFTs yet as I've said further up, I've not been in work to receive them.
