A child in my granddaughter's preschool tested positive for Covid. Not in her class, but they combine the two classes for aftercare. My granddaughter's rapid test was negative, but the whole preschool has to stay home and quarantine. And there's a newborn sister. I'm going over now to help care for the older child while my daughter cares for her newborn, they're keeping the kids separate till they know for sure if the older child will test positive,

A child in my wife's class tested positive yesterday.. The child was last in her room 6 days ago.. She had to leave work at lunchtime, take jnr and go for 1 of those RAT tests. both negative. They are to quarantine till Saturday according to our daily Aussie covid rules. Neither have had any sort of symptoms the last 6 days.. wifes boss immediately organised a full systems sweep scrub of 1/2 of the work place from where the kid went. The mother had deep symptons for a few days (!!) before she bothered to get tested!
So wife has today off work which she is not happy about, jnr too.

So the Aussie Government has yesterday laid out it's plans for return to school. The new school year starts Monday 31st Jan.. Basically prep. grades 1, 7,8 and 12 children of parents who are Essential Service Workers (they have tightened those restrictions up compared to Nov '20 when we went into full lockdown for 1 week) will start on that date, everyone else Monday Feb 14th. Just received internal email from HR that we are all deemed Essential Service, plus with my wife being a teacher that's a double lock-in. We both have that day off as annual leave anyway to take him to and from school for his 1st day.
Big relief for us.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks, Wife made it into 1 of her classroom games. A "science experiment" just like what Doctor Who does when he helps people. He is a huge Whovian, he didn't flinch at all when the stick went up his nose- this was his 3rd test in 2 years. YAY!

Well, it's been a week since I was informed about the COVID case in my house. Physically, I seem to be fine. I've always had a very robust immune system though, so there's every chance I could have it but be asymptomatic, so I don't want to risk potentially passing it on to anyone else by leaving the house. Cabin fever's set in pretty quickly and I can feel myself slowly going crazy. I can't get my hands on a RAT to save my life. Most (if not all) websites don't let you order them online, and the only place where I can pick up one for free as a close contact, is way too far away for me to get there. I don't drive and I can't use public transport, and I can't order anything online. How the hell am I supposed to get a test so I can leave my house?!
I was really lucky in that I'd just done a big grocery shop on the day I was told about the case, so I haven't needed to order anything until today. Of course, this process just had to be equally as frustrating as getting a test. Turns out there's a minimum purchase price before they do deliveries, which was greater than the supplies that I needed. And they're charging $15 to literally drive down a hill (I'm a 3-4 minute walk from the supermarket). AND I should have planned ahead, as you can't get same-day delivery. Wished I'd known that before I ran out food yesterday! I guess I'll just have to order a pizza or something to tide me over until tomorrow.
All this would have been avoided if I didn't live with four other people. I didn't want to live where I'm living, especially since it meant the probability I was going to have to self-isolate like this was qunitupled. I feel pretty isolated normally, so this imposed isolation makes everything feel worse. It's putting my life on hold when I really need to be out doing things. I'm still job searching, but you can't go into places, introduce yourself and apply if you can't leave the house. I'm just... really sick of this. And it's only been a week. I've got some friends and family keeping eyes out for RAT kits, so hopefully someone will be able to find one for me soon and I can at least go for a walk or something.
Keep safe, everyone.

My grandkids put up with them better than I do.

You are right in the Omikron wave and mathematical models predict it will grow and go on for at least the next 8 weeks. As of yesterday, Oz has overtaken Germany with number of new cases.
As a scientist, I would say this decision is rash and short sighted, at the worst case dangerous and completely incompetent. Time will tell which one.
But since every government on Earth has shown to completely mess this pandemic up and all of them have underestimated the danger, and millions of people died unnecessarily... and the Aussie government has been known to not been the most competent in other matters..... yeah, my bet would be dangerous and completely incompetent.
EDIT- is your kid vaccinated? So he gets at least spared from the worst consequences of the inevitable infection?

Sorry to post depressing news, I think I won my fight with covid, but it looks like it’s going to take my mums……. She has double pneumonia and not responding to treatment……..this is a long goodbye that’s very hard Today she has been rambling passing responsibilities over that we’re troubling her and funeral things and telling others she loves them. Along with a lot of nonsense, It’s been a hard day I’ve kissed her goodbye, knowing full well that there might not be a tomorrow for her…..
Currently I am going through waves of emotion, from depression, acceptance, hope, tears and the why bother going on…….. Very hard dark days ahead for me…
I have taken care of her for ten years now full time, but more like 25 while working……… She is my mum, child & best friend and took her in to live with me when she was failing after dad passed……
My life is going to be very different from now on for me…….and not sure if I can handle things short term…….
And the guilt of me bringing covid too our door is something I am not sure I can cope with……..
But where there is life there is hope, and be strong I must for a little while longer.
And to think I had a good diagnosis before Xmas, now this has shattered me……
Thanks everyone for being there for me, I know I have been a mardy pain to some and am sorry for that…but that’s me kind, bullish, stubborn, and me….., And to admin, thanks for letting us have a safe space to post…..
