the dreaded plague
After working hard to stay safe for almost two years, the plague has finally reached my inner circle. Layla-May had exactly two days back in school last week, developed symptoms on Sunday while she was with me, and then tested positive for covid on Tuesday.
Her mum doesn't usually see her at the weekend, but she made a point of coming down for dinner on Sunday as she hadn't been able to visit during the week before. Talk about sod's law. Chelsea has now tested positive as well, and she hasn't had her booster yet as it has to be scheduled very carefully around other treatment she's receiving, which is tricky.
The rest of us, so far, seem to be in the clear; my LFT was negative, and so far so good for mum, dad and my brother. Chelsea was quite unwell for a couple of days but seems to be improving now. For Layla it has mostly been headache and fever, but she is very upset that quarantine means she can't have her usual weekend with me this week - our Friday nights are so set in stone that she even came to me still on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve!
Out of 30 children in her class, 11 had tested positive before term was a week old. And that's just one class.
What a time to be alive.
