My daughter (21) had it at Uni back in June and was miserable for 8 days, lost taste which has now come back but otherwise she managed fine. My son (1icon_cool.gif has had one dose of vaccine (Pfizer) and went to Boardmasters in Newquay with 13 of his mates two weeks ago. 10 of them came back with Covid last week including him - of the four who didn't two had just had it a few weeks prior and the other two, well, they got it as well later last week. The boy has been mooching around the house for a week, not isolating within the home and my wife and I (both fully vaxxed) have not caught it - well, I think I have but only symptoms are a bit of fatigue and feeling a bit clammy for the last few days like I'm fighting something off. I am pretty sure it's covid that's making me feel like this as I haven't felt like this for nearly 2 years. As far as I'm concerned that means the vaccine has done it's job. I have been isolating and not going out as in all I could still spread it, tests are negative though. My son was a little rough, cough etc, but nothing serious and we were a little worried as he was hospitalized when he was very young with chest and breathing issues and he has asthma (exercise related, not day to day, he uses inhalers for rugby). Lost taste and smell a little. He's not been working and will go back next week. His main worry was that he wouldn't be able to get his new tattoo done and healed before the season starts. Priorities eh?

Triple jabbed and LFtested positive on the 29th of December so self isolated.
Was clear on day 6 and 7 which took me to last Thursday but decided on not returning and further sekf-isolation until yesterday Jan 10th. I self tested last Fri, Sat and Sun just to make sure I was totally clear for going in yesterday knowing I'd get tested on return, all negative.
Went in yesterday morning, tested and he said I was positive so PCRed and sent home.
Tested myself when I got home and negative.
Just received yesterday's PCR result and its saying positive.
I've LFT tested at home for the last 7 days and all negative.
Oh, well. Looks like another week off on pay.

Ok, thanks for the responses. It is weird isnt it!

What is a load of bollox is that if I'd PCR tested after my LFT on the 29th and self-isolated for 10 days (I have anyway) I'd have been good to go back without being tested for 90 days.
But because I've only just been PCR tested positive I'll have to take another week off.
There was no PCR testing or online PCR kits in my area all over Xmas.
It's a sham.

One interesting point to note. I had the Pfizer booster, just before Christmas, after having 2 main doses of AstraZeneca. I haven't had a hangover since! I had a really heavy session the day after Boxing Day and woke up the next morning feeling like I hadn't even had a drink.

Bloody hell. If the unintended consequence of Pfizer is hangover free sessions on the pop they need to add it onto the list of possible symptoms. "Excessive alcohol use after Pfizer may be consequence free. Have a Brandy".
