Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Yep, all children are counted in the rule of 6 (assuming it's more than 2 families), if it's just two families then there are no limits on the numbers. Only time that children under 5 are not counted are formally organised parent and child groups.

Thank, that confirmed my thoughts.

Formal football is ok in numbers, but 4 dads and 4 kids are not.

Guess so as formal football has to comply with and monitor compliance with the FA covid guidelines and regulations whereas a friendly kickabout does not and so is a potentially greater risk.

My company (of 13+ys) is very tight on us logging sickness days off. And they monitor it and always do a very quick return to work 'interview/check' by telephone - whether it's 1 day off or 10. But in my experience they are very supportive around longer periods off sick or absence signed off by GP. But if I was to be off sick a day here - a day there - on a fairly regular basis - or more extended periods off for the same reason - they'd be seeking an explanation and a plan from me and/or my GP as to how to get over it.

Interesting observation I heard was that in future more of us might be more inclined to sign-off work sick if we have cold/flu symptoms as we have become MUCH more aware of spreading viruses. And so less of the 'I'll just battle through and go into work - they need me' attitude.

Only those who get paid sick pay though. Those who don't won't have the "need me attitude" and who can blame them. More likely to be out of a job as well if they do take sick leave.

This is something I'm interested in long term

Say it's 2022 .. covid restrictions been gone a year but we needed masks and self isolate in winter if sick etc

How long before covid becomes just like a cold .. yeah you got no taste but I feel fine.. everyone has been offered the vaccine. NHS isn't over run

Does self isolating go and it just become like the common cold
 
Re pulling a sicky.
Why do you think that Fridays are so busy on the golf course?

I was actually talking to a guy on the course and turned round to see him hiding in the woods.
On asking what that was all about, he said he just spotted his boss was coming down the 14th fairway.

Social distancing and face coverings are widely reported to be required for some considerable time to come.

Thought so, from a number of posts on social media I just thought I would check (plus in many news reports the meeting up aspect has been mentioned but the socially distanced element has not been emphasised like before)

Unfortunately a fair few posts on FB of golfers blatantly not distancing - hopefully they don't make it onto the red tops ??
