Same here, thankfully.

Iā€™ve had a lot of people in my building at work get it, so Iā€™ve been lucky.

The Mrs has a case at work at the moment, so they all have to antigen again tomorrow before going back in on Monday.

The little wan had a case or two in her pod at preachool.

Weā€™ll all be done an dusted in this house by Monday hopefully. Infected and free. I might meet a few tfkā€™ers in our local hostelry for a few pre return to work drinks.

Itā€™s in our house but Mrs Locke is still testing negative. She had it back in May when the rest of us didnā€™t, sheā€™s had three vaccines since so we reckon sheā€™s still bulletproof.

Whole house has it here and all have high temp but wouldnt say fever levels as being medicated. Others have cough and sore throat and no energy. Iā€™m not so bad

You wonā€™t really know unless you take a pcrā€¦ Or did you? Antigens donā€™t always pick it up cc @Massey

Two. Neither of them particularly sick but showing symptoms. No worse than they would have this time of year anyway tbh

52

If you have symptoms the antigens are v accurate apparently.

53

Take it easy kidā€¦ Iā€™ll even let a few of your pot shots slide over the next few days.

They might never be positiveā€¦not that it matters. if youā€™re symptom free how bad, are you isolating?

55

Apparently antigens are more accurate if you swab your throat first and then do the nostrils.

Yeah. Sore sinuses. Mild headache.

Itā€™s not on the tests Iā€™ve used but anecdotally appears to improve sensitivity
