Third of the work force off with Covid
A few have had it recently at our place, all triple jabbed, very minimal symptoms, I think some others are actually hoping to test positive for the time off work.

We've got 3 lots, which is 3 too many, plus some of the duties are still catching up with last week's and last week's mail for that matter.
Oh well it's not all bad apparently our lapsing doesn't start until next week.

Loads sick
Same at ours. I wonder what Simon will make of his graph this week (or next week maybe, should think he still has his feet up).

A full on day. Pretty much about the same as before Christmas. Three mech trays. Three packet bags (one full of test kits). Loads of Christmas cards left in the system which is the worse ive seen in many a year. Still rolled a lot of yorks for tommorrow so its going to stay busy. Thankfully none of with covid so we got a chance of clearing it.

That's what I thought, maybe it's the chancers phoning in with a "positive" lat flow knowing they'll get a few days grace until the PCR comes back, mind you Dom should be requesting proof of the lat flow.

Chances are that we won't be allowed to roll over any left-over boxes on the sequencing now that Xmas has gone, so if the mech is really busy then some DOs might get the odd 20+ boxes for a batch as manual

You can get it multiple times thats why lockdown is a waste of time and why we have to live with it.
