How many times have you had to self isolate?

[ssd]

We've had to 2 times

What about you?

None. DD goes to school and clubs and I'm a teacher.

None. DH wfh, I’m a SAHM, no outbreaks in kids classes (reception/year 1 and 2 different nurseries).

Our household never.
Most people I know -- never.

DD was supposed to as part of entering Uni. Didn't go well...
DS got caught in a residential workplace isolation experience.

The most isolation-afflicted person I know has toddlers - but her household still hasn't had covid.

Our household never.
Most people I know -- never.

Same here, we wfh so not surprising for us, but even friends with children in nursery or school or who are teachers themselves haven't had any isolation periods.

Zero times. I don’t have kids of school age though.

None, we don't go anywhere!

Family of 5 - 0 times

Me - 0
Child - 1

Obviously child couldn’t be left on own so I basically self isolated for 2 weeks as well🙄

2 adults and 4 children, worked throughout, shop nearly daily, do have the app been on hols, been to pubs when open, zero tests and zero isolation.

None.

3 - all whilst waiting for (thankfully negative) test results. 1 was me and the other 2 were toddler dc

As a family: DS(7) had to self-isolate for 10 days after positive test at school. The rest of us (family of 5) self-isolated once when we all came down with Covid. Isolated in total that time for 17 days to cover the correct time period from when the first member of the family got it through to the last.

Nobody in our house has. DH is wfh, DD 23 lost her job at the start of LD1 and hasn't found a new one so she never leaves the house and the only place I go is the supermarket twice a week. No contact with anyone at all since March last year, nobody to the house, met nobody, been nowhere, spoken to no-one.

Yes I'm going bananas but at least we've not had to isolate!

Mixed bag really, but probably more zero accounts than people who have had to isolate

Interesting

Yes Twice. Both times because a child in my class had a positive test (2 different schools)

Once due to DH testing positive. It was just after NY, still no idea how he got it but with two young children plus working and a house to run it was hellish as DH also has to self isolate away from us in the house.

Hopefully we will be lucky and not have to do it again! 🤞🤞

2 adults 2 children. Ever isolated. Still don't know anyone who has had it.

I realise that could change overnight but I'm amazed we're a year down the line and we're so far okay.

*never

Five times 😞 have two children that both had symptoms at different times and I have had contact with positive cases three times at work (nursery). None of us have had it yet though!

Twice.

Bloody hell some of you guys are really lucky! (Or maybe be we have had bad luck) stepson has had to isolate 4 times since October through school contacts. Baby had to isolate once because childminder tested positive. Oldest daughter currently on 3rd isolation because teacher has tested positive and his week. Only one in school out of 4 who hadn't had to isolate. Add in about 5 times testing and waiting for results so all had to stay in. One time it took 5 days to get the results.

I have a friend who works on a military base. Every fortnight on a Monday, she tests negative at work but then has contact with someone who tests positive. She is then sent home to WFH and isolate. I think this is her 10th? Week isolating now. Good isn’t it.

DD's once each and then again for all of us after I tested positive.

4 of us here including 1 NHS worker and 2 comprehensive aged dc.

Oldest dc has had to isolate once due to a positive case in his year group at school.

That’s it. (So far).........

Once when it was suspected I had it.

Pre testing era (last March)

Not bad considering I work in education and have been in school throughout!
