Well, Moonbase is now in isolation. No-one can come in and no-one can go out, except the dog Blue. Missus Moonbase has now been to a drive-in PCR test and we await the result. This is the recommended UK Gov response to getting a positive result from a home test kit.
We certainly don't need any proof the Missus is ill. She's gone downhill from yesterday with little stamina and some breathlessness. Her taste and smell have vanished too. Looking at the calendar and when she first 'had a cold' I would say this is day 6 of the virus. Most reports seem to peg it at lasting around 2 weeks with a fair wind. Fingers crossed we get one and it stays as it is.
I'm not ill and will test myself again at home with the Missus in a couple of days. We are wearing masks in the house and not touching shared touch points if we can. Lots of disinfectant wipes and hand washing too, together with some windows open to create a breeze of fresh air. Who knows what the right way to isolate with a covid patient is. Do you?
The Missus has gone to bed. Best place when you're unwell. I just hope it stays as it is and we come out of this unscathed.
Outside its Spring and the Easter break has begun.
If you see the Easter bunny limbering up then ask it to put a mask on!
You've got my sympathies and best wishes, Paul. I hope Mrs Moonbase is on the road to recovery as soon as possible and you manage to avoid it altogether. If it's any reassurance, we caught the bug last April. It wasn't much fun but it could have been a hell of a lot worse and we got through it okay.
ReplyDeleteThoughts are with you, lots of fluids!

A speedy recovery for Missus Moonbase and best wishes to you both, Woodsy
ReplyDeleteMy best to Mrs Moonbase, and to your daughter. Take care of yourself too. I know this has to be a strain on you, but at least it is Spring on your side of the planet, and the days are getting longer. You have home test kits in Britain ? I have not heard of these in NZ at all.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteMy best wishes for you all, Hang In There!
ReplyDeleteThanks Looey.
