A bit OT, my daughter went to Portugal for a long weekend last w/e and is now in isolation out there. She went out to see her mate who lives there, and whose kids were snotty and cold ridden but all over her when she arrived - so that may well be the source.
Luckily the family of her friend own a flat in the same town and have kindly let her stay there, and she is being brought supplies by her friends. She doesn't have a car or anyone else there to support her and in some respects it is a nightmare for her. She doesn't speak the lingo and although they mostly do around the resort, she has had trouble finding detail of what she has to do and how to do it.
Yesterday she felt a little better but while people say no worse than a cold, for her it is, particularly the raging headache. I love the fact that we can now video call as she is pretty stressed over it and really needs someone to talk with to get her through. It also helps us keep an eye on her condition, which I know she has played down to not worry us but I've made sure she knows how to summon emergency help if required.
She had her 1st positive LFT on Tuesday and a positive PCR test on Thursday and has to isolate for, I think, 7 days from when she first showed symptoms. She thinks she'll be allowed to fly back on Thursday.
We're off out there on the following Monday for 6 weeks but are going to be a little more cautious about our personal space!!
