Kopek Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 While we have all already had too much enforced time off recently, if you go back to before Covid, it was not unusual to declare that one had the 'Flu' and needed two days off. Of course, real "Flu' was quite debilitating and required more than a 'Day off'. They had a cold, and played on it? It complicates the current situation, if you can afford 5 days off, why not? If you want to make your employer believe you were really Ill, leave your dressing gown on and speak, on the phone, with a pained i ' m v e r y ill v oi c e!!!

They seem subjective and that another might take a different view of the same facts. I'd describe serious consequences as requiring critical care, and I'd define astonishingly small through the medium of a bar chart Edited January 7, 2022 by TheTeapot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 40 minutes ago, For one night only said: It’s a possibility, but isn’t the gestation period said to be 4-6 days? Certainly everyone I know who has had it, others in their house haven’t tested positive for at least 5 days after. I have just come out of 8 days isolation. The other occupant hasn't tested positive. Mind you, when they had it in July, neither did I. No idea where I got it, but I did. I reported the positive LFT and isolated. It made no difference to my job as I work from home anyway (and started a new job). So, what is your analysis of that? Am I workshy, angling for a bit of time off? You, on the other hand, have tested positive and applied your own rules. My analysis of that? Well, it would be unkind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
