Thanks mate, she's all good now.  The Mrs & I both got it after her and are generally feeling okay now, we just have a feeling of tiredness, loss of smell/taste (comes in handy after the brussel sprouts tbh  ) and I get out of breath easily.  Lungs have the tight feeling like the start of an asthma attack all the time, if you know what I mean.

I think we've been fairly lucky considering what some people have had with it.

Yes, i think so.

Groundhog day.....no change for us ,but there you go.

Hi, being a plumber and heating engineer, I can say without a doubt people aren't taking this seriously.
I have worked continuously from 23rd March last year to present day, and really busy too. It's just starting to slow down now, for me anyway, others are booked months in adavance.
Having a lot of work makes me think about the poor souls losing their jobs and businesses, it's almost like I feel  I'm doing a bad thing (catholic guilt background, now almost gone).
With reference to my first line, In March last year, I was virtually alone on the M25 and M3 motorways, everyone wore masks in their homes, people were paranoid to the point that in some peoples homes I had to don a CSI white coverall.
This time round virtually everyone has to be told by me to wear a mask when I get into their homes. It's got to the point that I've prepared a text to send to customers in advance of my visit telling them to do so and that I will be wearing one/have alcohol spray to disinfect handles I touch etc. AND STILL, I get to their homes and they ain't wearing one!!
Worse still, on 23rd December last year I was working in someone's house looking forward to having my 82 year old mum over for xmas (she's had pneumonia, so I have to be really careful), and my son  from his PHd digs in Reading. No one in the house apart from me was wearing a mask.
Next day, the father of the two young girls in the house announces that the youngest tested positive for covid, so they had to have known it was a possibility to have had a test done in the first place, though he claimed it was in advance of his in-laws coming for xmas.
So, having been in contact with the family, I had to isolate which meant no mum or son for xmnas, I was f***ing livid!
 Every day now, even with this new strain people are far more lackadaisacal than they were last year, it's getting a real pain.
I can't furlough as I'm a limited company, so I have to go out there risking even my own health (I'm 58 and have apnea so breathing difficulties necessitating a CPAP machine).

But... my tang's doing better and soon he'll be in the DT so it's all going to turn out OK. He says, fingers crossed..........

Round here, we live in as small rural village...very few have changed their behaviour. One bloke runs an illegal garage out his house ,every day seven days a week customers arrive , hes one of those who edges closer and closer as he talks to you...People  have visitors ,one lot live in two homes at the same time coming and going.
We are getting fed up but we are better off than many,we have a big front and rear garden ,we can walk up the lane surrounded by fields. Spring is coming and I am getting out in the poly tunnels.
Food and everything else gets delivered and disinfected or quarantined.
Sunday Garry as a clinically extremely vulnerable person gets his first vaccination ,as my only sin is being old I have to wait for the next group down.
I am sure if I was young with kids I would be tearing my hair out.
Why not let the likes of Garry and I shield and  if of working age support us /them and let the rest who are in little danger get on with it.
