So, TSJr1 (17) had what appeared to be a cold developing on Thursday, he was too ill to go to sixth form on Friday, so had usual cold and flu tablets and a day in bed; my other two kids both having similar symptoms but not so bad as to stay off school. They are all getting better in line with what you'd expect from a cold.
Today, he goes to sixth form, the lad who sits next to him as tested positive for Covid-19, as my lad has similar symptoms, they send him home and say get as test and isolate until you are either negative or 10 more days until you get through it.
We get home at 11.30, use the website, book in a test for 12.00, 3 miles away done by 12.10.
IF that was most people's experience of this process would we be saying well done, unlikely, but I just think we need to show the other side of this.
Not sure whether to want it to be positive to get it out of the way, or negative so he doesn't have it (although I actually think he had it back in the new year, after coming down with what we now recognise as classic symptoms).
Will update when the result comes through to see how quickly that happens (they reckon up to 72 hours).
