Say what you like about continued lateral flow tests, they’ve provided me with loads of small resealable bags.

Well, I got my positive test result. My wife is negative though. Now we aren’t sure how to proceed. It is not like we can avoid each other much in the apartment. And to be honest we didn’t really do that the last days / week either. Just stopped kissing and hugging. Whatever use that is

For what it’s worth I continued to test negative all the time while I was looking after my wife during her bout last November.

Worst result, if you have any isolation rules, is for her to test positive just as your isolation time is up. With Omicron, I think you are pretty much guaranteed to both catch it.

A few years ago, I bought a small digital scale, 100g by 0.1g. For quite some time, Amazon thought I had an urgent need for very small zipper bags.

If it helps I’m 12 days testing negative with covid in my house and no real meaningful separation.
My wife caught it from finishing one of the kids juices before realising she shouldn’t have done that with him testing positive.
Might depend on dates from booster shot too. Mine was in December.

Boosters are still some mythical possible future thing here, so it’s easy for me to forget that other people may have had them.
Kids also haven’t been vaccinated, so we are getting multiple daily updates about which specific classes are cancelled due to infection, and which are back on.

I had my booster shot 1,5 weeks ago. Luckily before I caught the virus.
I slept the night on the couch but it wasn’t really great.

I was thinking of this the other day! I usually order online but I was worried I was ending up on a police list somewhere.

You’re fine unless you buy lots of the ones with pictures of, uh, foliage printed on them.

You see, I thought that would be the perfect disguise… Especially if you put a few pharmaceutical products on the top…

When I used to work for Evil Pharma Corp, I genuinely had to go to Amsterdam airport with a case containing polythene bags of very precisely sized lactose powder, and a note from my boss. I was hoping the note would work.

Did it work? And my partner requests to know what it said.

This is to certify that SteveB isn’t a drug courier, honest. If you’d like proof, call this number and have your SWIFT/IBAN code ready."

I don’t remember being stopped, actually. And the letter was just a very calm one saying “We’re on pharma business to this address, ring this phone number if you have any questions at all please. Please. Thank you. Please.”
