Another thread I can moan on 
We haven't even received our test yet. Started trying for it on Weds first thing, eventually got one yesterday but it has missed today's post and now can't go until Monday which is day 6 for the child in question.
So I assume the test will be null and void and we'll just have to quarantine anyway.
DP is staying away (he's been working away so just won't come home as he is self employed and cannot afford 2 weeks off!). Kids will miss 10 days of school, despite only being back for 7. Youngest will miss a medical appointment, 2 private physio sessions and her nursery start date.
And I'll have to manage them all whilst WFH.
All because it took 48h to get a test. And I tried constantly in those 48 hours.
The system is broken, in ways I hadn't been considered before my experience.
No access to tests is going to fuck up people's lives. If DP hadn't been working away we'd lose our main income for two weeks, he'd probably be sacked from this project as well. I'm tempted to tell him to go to his parents as with 3 kids we are going to have coughs and temperatures over the next few months and we cannot afford for DP to not work for 2 weeks at a time.
I am praying for a saliva / quick test or at least to be able to get a test in a more viable time frame!!
