I’m sure we haven’t got it.

DS2 is now working from home, the whole family in isolation for two weeks because the baby had a cough and they rang the doctor. Nobody seriously thinks it is the virus and he is nearly better but DS2 is very frustrated as there is a limit to what he can do from home. The person who is covering for him has a great condition and should be keeping safe at home. It is very unfortunate but the rules have to be kept to.

On a purely practical level, neither of you have either of the symptoms that indicate probable CV19 infection: HIGH fever or new, persistent cough. Likely to be simple cold.

It's a tricky one isn't it ? But I'd rather they prioritised testing key workers to confirm if they can work and channel time,NHS staff and resources into actually treating those needing treatment.Most people will recover at home with rest and paracetamol.And if I self isolate and it was a false alarm so be it.

Sadly, who can say?
If we can't be tested we can't know. I wish we had got on top of the testing.
In fact, I wish we had got on top of the whole thing.

I think you should seek medical advice for this one morethan2 you have to take into account not only the infection but the emotional toll on your daughter in law and granddaughter if they are not together. You have my sympathy with this very difficult situation, take care.
