Covid seems to be taking turns around with the staff at work these recent weeks. I wonder how many people it's going to go through before we knock off from work for Christmas.
I’d say a fair few. I think a lot of people will have symptoms that they’ll just write off as being tired/time of year/allergies and there are some people who don’t get symptoms at all. So unless it hits like a ton of bricks and one might be in an industry that needs to be a bit more careful, it’s unlikely people will bother testing.
Trams have also been packed more than a sardine can. Masks and sanitiser. They don’t hurt to have if one is concerned and there are more viruses like RSV that can spread and be an issue to older adults/immunocompromised. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I was working offsite from my normal workplace and I overheard a conversation about someone taking a RAT test but she only took it for one day and had a negative result and didn't do anymore and she came into work with symptoms.
I wouldn't be surprised if she was positive at that point and was spreading it around like wildfire at that workplace.
Yeah, downside is that it can take a few days to come up after exposure.
I’ve been masking as I don’t want my scant few days off wrecked due to illness. Covid is taking turns hitting people at my workplace.
