GS's 1st grade teacher is quarantining as of late last night because her children's day care provider was exposed to another child's parent who tested positive. Now she is teaching from home until results come back on the provider--but with her own three children quarantining with her. Bless her. Teachers need combat pay these days.

Like you, he felt SOME possible symptoms but nothing like loss of taste etc., and the test came back negative. What a relief!<br />This week Monday, I was required to work on-site at my biggest client's office. I'd not been there since early October and felt a little uneasy about it, but was very cautious (like everybody else in the building), wearing masks, opening windows and NOT visiting the canteen. Still, I want to keep my parents safe first and foremost, and have therefore decided not to see them as usual over lunch this week. Apart from a snivelly nose (which is normal for me, especially when I have been outside in the cold air), I have "nothing" and am not thinking about getting a test.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-59167767582579020852020-12-09T00:02:33.953-05:002020-12-09T00:02:33.953-05:00Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this!
