If I was able to complete my account, I'd be down 300 pounds on AMC today.

I don't miss the pub really. Casual freedoms are quickly forgotten in pandome.

Lol just saw someone trudge past carrying their breakfast takeout from the village pub.

My test came back negative hurray.

So now I'm stuck with achy joints, an endless hacking cough and no sense of taste from some other bullshit illness that I either got from handling the post or while out for a run.

Still, I won't die on a ventilator, so it's not all bad.

This place is not a place of honor…
no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here…
nothing valued is here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location… it increases toward a center… the center of danger is here… of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

It was lateral flow yeah. I don't have symptoms, it's just the council is doing them for free so I thought why not

They do, they have just a higher false negative and positive rate. Used for regular mass testing they are super useful

Could just be regular old flu, but it sounds like COVID to me. I'd get another test tbh

My plan is to isolate anyway for the time being. I suppose I'll go for a second test if it's still hanging around early next week

So the email I got back regarding the lateral flow test says to keep following the guidelines (of course) and if you do get symptoms, theres a link to another test which I imagine is the more reliable lab one.

The centre is about a 30 minute walk away and took like 10 mins total. Wasnt nearly as unpleasant as some make it out to be, I slightly gagged on the tonsil swab and my eyes watered a bit with the nostril part but it was pretty minor. Figure I might as well get one every couple of weeks or so but I'm not about to go visit friends or anything off the back of negative results
