2) My partner is a key worker in the NHS but, likewise.
3) My partners daughter (aged 30) is a key worker and had the virus badly but just scraped through not having to go to hospital - so she was not tested. Doctors allowed her to return to work. Her mother nursed her at home (we do not live together) and isolated from work but also allowed to return to work.

So that's three of us with no tests and all at work. Not clever.
Kudos from one key worker to another

Not even tried to be tested.

As for vaccine, come and see me on its 5th anniversary and will think about getting it. I have zero intention of being big Pharma's guinea pig.
