My partner tested positive yesterday, crazy that the first person I’ve ever know to have it is the person I kiss. I’m starting to feel a bit poorly now, had a test earlier, no results yet. 

Sorry to hear that, well wishes to you both.

Meant management responsibility, classroom teachers can earn up to 42k as long as they pass an upper pay range assessment

I think I’ve just realized why some of the posts on here are how they are. Very few of you have either had covid or know of anyone who’s had it? So it’s not affected many of you?

A very wild assumption.

I find it funny how guests can go onto tv shows socially distanced but we can't go round someone's house and socialy distance..

I was asking the question, hence the question marks. Have you been affected Stan?

Give it a rest for god sake

Unfortunately, the main issue is people under 40 thinking if they get it it's like the flu or even symptomless. i'm 28 and felt like I had the sh*t kicked out of me for a few weeks and still recovering weeks after that, two of my mates have long covid and both under 30. One doesn't leave his house in case he gets it again it was that bad. 

 

It is the people with the mentality of "it won't affect me i'm young and healthy" that have got us in this deep mess

I don’t. If you go on a tv show, there’s a measure of control and protocols in place to ensure safety. Going round someone’s house and chucking your car keys in a bowl isn’t going to cut it.

well, it is... more likely to care less when it comes to breaking rules, getting to close to people the list goes on 

 

it's attitudes like that which is why we are the worst country in the world for population:death ratio, such an arrogance to it

My partner is 28 and has had it twice, and it has been mild symptoms or symptomless both times. The vast majority of people under 40 that do get it ARE like the flu or symptomless. If you were unlucky that's shit, but that's not the default.

 

Second paragraph is nonsense.

Interested to know, do 'the government aren't to blame, the public are' brigade genuinely believe that other nations don't have rule breakers? What makes you think that we are so inherently different?

Covid has definitely brought the worst out in people. As a society it demonstrates how judgemental and hypocritical we are.

Doubling down on talking nonsense. Fair play

you aren't getting my point, I know that's the norm. It's people who think it won't affect them under a certain age, a quarter of people in intensive care are under 55. two people i know have long covid. It's the mindset of people thinking it's 'not too bad' as to why there is over 1000 dead for third day in a row.

I get your point completely mate. However, apart from a few decent types, you’ll get no change out of most on here.

How far apart were the positive tests?
