Meanwhile somehow it has escaped Mr 8, who after 7 days isolation is back at school today. Either he got lucky or we suspect he has had it at a low level before - both kids sneeze quite a lot in the morning anyway due to allergies, so knowing that for Mr 6 the only real sign is sneezing, there is a chance we've missed it in Mr 8 if he caught it previously.

All mostly recovered now, although Mr 6 now gets a super long holiday, as his isolation period doesn't end until Good Friday. 

 

Well, that's frustrating ... wife's 7 day isolation ended Monday, mine ended today, Mr 6's end's tomorrow ... today, Mr 8 tested positive. So not sure if it just took him a long time to catch it off us, or if he's picked it up at school this week.

He didn't have any symptoms until today. However, I'd even tested him on Wednesday night as a random check as we're due on a flight this time next week, so thought if it was hanging around in the background, better to give it the opportunity to be detected sooner rather than later to avoid bumping flights if at all possible. Seems I should've tested him last night too - although may have been negative also, just don't know. By testing positive today, with no symptoms yesterday, means bumping our flights by a day. Doh! 

Also is the one in our family who struggles with slight asthma ... so we're hoping he'll have just as an easy ride with it as Mr 6, but conscious it may not be so. 

On the flipside, may make it easier for the next 3 months now knowing that we've all definitely had it.
