Title: Challenged By Covid
Post by Derek on Aug 4^th, 2022 at 1:37pm

Had the family over on the weekend. They stayed two nights.

Sunday afternoon one of the boys started to feel off and they all left late Sunday.

Later that night got a message to say Jake had tested positive to Covid. Bugger I thought that’s all we need.

Then Monday another one down with Caleb testing positive.

Yesterday I started to develop a sore throat and I tested positive last night.

Then today young Clay our boy with the heart/lung transplants tested positive and he has been admitted to hospital as a precaution because he still has a very weak immune system.

Overall everyone is reasonable ok with sore throats, temperatures up and a head full of snot.

Maggie has no symptoms.

It is out there folks. Take care.

We believe that Jake bought it home from school.

Hope you all get better soon Derek. I had it about 5 weeks ago and got away with a mild cough and minor fatigue, so hopefully you get the same strain I had

With Maggie down and out and both of us confined to quarters I decided, for the first time ever, to do an online shopping order at my local Woolies.

It is only 3.5 kilometres from home and they hit me up for a $15.50 delivery on an order of $75.

Given the circumstances I was happy with that providing they can supply everything we ordered.

Delivery this afternoon. :)

Glad to hear the family is better!
The only real thing Tha t will get us beyond Covid and the peddled fear is herd immunity. We should be there by now. :)
