I've 3 more full days remaining in isolation, which is a ball-ache but it will be completed. So long as cough and/or loss of taste/smell are the only remaining symptoms, then isolation can be concluded and freedom returns.

As a kid, I developed a habit of stuffing my food down in record time and exclaiming "First!", at every meal. So I've never tasted grub.

You really do need the full quarantine period, as you can see, in most cases. Took me a while to kick the chesty gurgler of a cough. It dissipates slowly, and the way I realised it was improving was to recall back to when I once saw a beetroot on my neck, in the mirror, after a fit in the early stages.

Almost "Strong Like Bull"

I get the quarantine. I don’t like it, but sometimes we have to do things we don’t like. So far, and the only thing keeping me sane, is that I haven’t (fingers crossed) passed it to my parents. 24 hours a day in solitary has kept them safe, but now I kinda understand what being in prison must be like lol

Just a final update to note that yesterday I tested negative, as curiosity got the better of me and I was bored, so I tested myself. Still got to isolate until midnight Monday, as them's the rules. Of the 4 people who tested positive at work, I have clearly had the far easiest time of it. The other three people are all in their late 50's/early 60's, all of them double-vaxxed. None of them have a had a bad illness, they just suffered a little more than I did.

First thanks for sharing your experience

From what I read on the thread all the people + you who had it were vaccinated?
They all have the same vaccine? which one(s)?

Yes. All 4 of us are double-vaccinated. I had AZ. One lady had the Pfizer. The other two I have no idea what vaccine they had.
