Hi all and hope you're all well.
I've been back at work now a good few weeks and can gladly say it really busy. In fact it's so busy it's been hard work getting the energy to get out and enjoy a bike ride.
Sadly thought Covid has made its presence felt in the work place.
My company has done everything practically possible to make it safe but this virus is very difficult to control and it's inevitably reared it's ugly head amongst is.
Last Friday we all had a Covid test down at a local mobile testing station and what a joke that was. We were told we will get are results within 48 hours via text.
The following Sunday instead of a text, i got a call to tell me i tested negative. Phew that was a relief, and reason for the call instead of a text was because they were experiencing technical problems with the texting process.
Throughout the week though most of the staff had not heard anything of there results, whilst others were getting calls and being asked if there names were such and such to which they were not. To me it looked like the testing station had somehow got the names and contact numbers mixed up of the people being tested.
Not very confidences inspiring.
Sadly last week it was confirmed a few staff members had proven positive, which is very worrying for the rest of us.
With paranoia running wild amongst us, the slightest signs of feeling unwell sets off the alarm bells.
These last few nights I've been feeling extremely tired and been heading off to bed for 8pm. Its unusual for me as i usually like to get out of the bike in the evening and get a few miles in before bed time, but I've just haven't had the energy.
Last night i woke up around 2am with a monumental headache and sweating like a pig and not long after started vomiting.
The first thing you think of under the circumstances is have i caught Covid.
Strangely this morning i feel ok apart from a little fuzzy headed.
I've been enjoying a few occasional beers at the weekend since the pubs have reopened and most of them have been very proactive with there track and trace program and ensuring social distancing is maintained. But one pub in particular seems to be completely ignoring it. No details or contact information are asked for, and the place is rammed packed with youngsters sitting on top of each other. I took one look at it and walked away..
The pub in question from all accounts has operated like this since the first opened. To me, this is fine example where the virus could re emerge into a second wave again.
I had so many plans this weekend to see family and friends but after suffering from last night's illness I'm keeping well away, just to be on the safe side.
It could be just something as simple as food poisoning (as I'm not the best of cooks:=)), but none the less, you do automatically think of the worst in these current times
