I had a shock call from my Brother yesterday. On Saturday he and his wife did their lateral flow tests and both were negative. On Sunday his wife felt off colour, tired and developed a cough so on Monday they did another test; his was negative, V's was positive so they went to a drive through test centre for a PCR test. She definitely has Covid, despite being double jabbed and extra careful. My Brother's PCR test was void so he had to go for another drive through test yesterday....still awaiting results of that one. They have both been extra careful with contact, hygiene, social distancing etc, and they still wear masks when in enclosed spaces, especially as V is 76 yrs old and not in the best of health. The only places they have been to is for food shopping so I feel she has been so very unlucky. At the moment she is in self isolation in the house. She is sleeping on the sofa downstairs, using a separate loo and preparing her own meals in order to keep contact with my Brother to a minimum. Poor V.
PLEASE everyone....don't take any chances with your health.
Stay safe wherever in the world you happen to be x
EDIT:
My Brother has tested positive too 🤒😷😪
It's becomes really real doesn't it when it gets close to home. My Daughter D has it at the moment. She thinks she got it from a customer at the hairdressers where she has a holiday job. She was meant to have her first vaccine last Sunday but that's had to be postponed for a month. Daughter S has also had covid about a month ago. She has a summer job in a Hotel and caught it from a customer who had a positive flow test on the morning he checked out. She is double jabbed but felt really rough for the first few days whereas D has been absolutely fine.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your sister in law and hope that she recovers quickly, also that your brother is ok too. We do still need to be mindful of what we are doing wherever we are.
ReplyDeleteTake care yourself and sending love x
Bad news about your sister in law.I was reading in the paper this morning that the jabs wear off after 6 months and we need a booster which is what they are doing in Israel.Scary isn’t it.Fingers crossed she recovers quickly.Barbara
ReplyDeleteLess effective, but absolutely not worn off.
DeleteGet well soon... 🌷
ReplyDeleteOh, that's scary. We are reading about more and more breakthrough cases here. I am glad that your SIL and brother have space to isolate at home. This is such an intense time. I hope they both recover quickly. I wear my mask outside, too. You just can't be too careful.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. This is an increasingly common story, and I hope more people get access to N95 masks (I'm a retired paramedic). I think exposure to the viral load with Delta is almost unavoidable, despite precautions, without a good mask. Sending good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will both soon be well again.
ReplyDeleteI hope V starts feeling better soon, and hopefully she has a very mild case.
ReplyDeleteTrying to stay safe here as well, just wish all the other people would feel the same way and mask up.
God bless.
