Not hopeful about being able to test regularly

[olderthanyouthink]

I've written this three times now and keep losing it, stupid app!!!!

DD had a fever and has coughed several times times, she's snotty as hell so it's probably a cold but I can't send her to nursery without a negative test but I can't get a test! I look all day yesterday and even just turned up but that didn't work.

Will look again today but I'm not holding my breath.

She was sick (coughing and occasionally feverish) constantly from the start of the year till she stopped going to childcare in March, so she's going to need testing weekly?!

No she won't need weekly testing. If she's constantly ill with fever you need to be seeing a GP.

Not ill with a fever constantly, I think she had a fever twice, once was something random and once was chicken pox. She was coughing a lot though, it got better in between days at the childminder but then she was sick again.

It's worrying isn't it? I've managed to get a postal test for DS but it wasn't easy but given how slow postal tests are it doesn't look hopeful that we'll be out of isolation by the end of the school week. My DS1 had back to back coughs and colds when he first started nursery so I have a feeling they will have a lot of time off this winter.
