Just wondered what people think. DS (had covid in December, has had one jab as not yet 18, has had 2 negative PCRs in last 2 weeks due to travel) is getting over a cold. Because we're all paranoid, he's done a lateral flow every morning this week and they have all been negative. Apparently yesterday a few teachers asked if he was ok (he isn't coughing but is quite bunged up). This morning the school nurse phoned me because a teacher sent him to her because he "looked unwell". I had a conversation with the nurse and she said that on balance she thinks he can stay at school and no need for PCR test. She said he is feeling "fine" and feeling up to lessons. They are wearing masks at school in communal areas although not in class.
I did think about going to have another PCR just to prevent any further comments and phone calls. But I'm reluctant to as with both kids at school and DH and I both now in the office it seems that we run the risk of constant PCR testing (there have been cases in both my office and DH's office person, in DS's year at school and DD's class). And the ironic thing is when we got covid, DS was 100% asymptomatic although DH and I were quite ill.
Sorry. Just having a moan really.
@Volterra - it will be interesting to see what happens in the cabinet reshuffle but at least it looks like I'm to be spared snogging Gavin Williamson.
