Mask wearing is still the regulation here @punkdoc, but my daughters have noticed that people are just ignoring it. I can only assume that's how my older daughter has contracted it. She now can't get her 2nd jag for another 4 weeks or so, which will mean around 12 or 13 weeks since her 1st one.

It's a great shame your family have been infected by other people's carelessness or negligence, FG - I know you've all been trying very hard to keep it out of your home. But don't worry about the 12 to 13 week gap. Studies seem to show the overall protection from a longer gap is better.

I was just saying to OH a couple of days ago that surely masks should be mandatory, not only for Covid but the Flu as well, if i remember rightly flu was at an all time low last winter because of mask wearing, can't the government see this? If they really want to stop the NHS from being overwhelmed this winter this must be the right thing to do.
I'd support mandatory mask wearing in indoor or crowded public places too. Yesterday I forgot mine and went back for it rather than go into a shop without it, but loads of people around here aren't wearing them. What I don't want is to go back to not being able to visit my parents in their home. It'll soon be not warm enough for them to be sitting around outside.

Thanks @raisingirl. That makes me feel more relaxed. I think I miscalculated - it'll be more like 14 to 15 weeks, because of isolating. Frankly, the girls have enough day to day problems without this to add to them, but that's how it is. Fortunately, she hasn't been too unwell. Younger one had an unpleasant couple of days after the 2nd jag, due to a reaction to it, but she's ok now, and still testing negative, as am I.

I see in today's papers,2 care assistants, mother and daughter refused jabs,both died, daughter 32 leaving 4 small children. Serious shortage of carers,yet a refusing to be jabbed. I had to have Hep ,ABC TB and annual blood tests,In order to work at the hospital. Went to see oldest daughter yesterday,(51) she smokes,was on the 2nd (as far as I know,) large wine. Says she had enough jabs last year flu,this year Covid,and is not having boosters. I didn't waste my breath, pointless!! Told me she's getting bad acid reflux, I "might" have suggested it is lifestyle generated
I don't need to consume much alcohol, particularly later in the evening, to suffer very bad acid reflux. That happened long before Covid - unless I was an 'early adopter'!
Occasional reflux is not a problem, but tell your daughter to see a Doctor if she's having bad acid reflux consistently as it can lead to Barrett's Esophagus a pre cancerous condition if its ignored long term. Not something to ignore if its happening on a daily basis.

Kili,yes I know. My late father had it all his life,he was a very heavy smoker,60 a day,the next one already lit. He died of CA esophagus. There is also bowel CA family history. Said daughter is 51,won't take notice of anything I say.

I was checked out for that but thankfully negative result. I now just try to avoid drinking or eating too late in the evening. Also keep Gaviscon handy as that does sort it quickly.
