I'm happy to read that you and the family feel better. Such a nasty illness.
<3 We are all pretty much back to normal now, which is nice!

How do they know though that you did the test properly? Deep enough, I mean?
Well we did the proper PCR tests which get sent off to a proper testing place, not just the lateral flow tests (that one does at home and that give a result in 30 minutes), and they all came out positive. Mind you, when the eldest first suspected she did 3 lateral flow tests which all came out positive (and never had before) so... We're fairly used to doing the tests, since we're all in school settings and have to do home tests twice weekly. And even Darcy has done plenty since you can get the test kits for free and there have been times when it's been necessary to make sure we were plague free (like meeting up with family). Anyway, the PCR tests are much more rigorous when it comes to getting the results.

It's all quite a mess.
Oh dear. (Although it's almost comforting to know that other countries have also handled some aspects badly...)
