As I understand it’s stay at home, even if you have to isolate for 2 weeks. I did ask what would happen if cows got out and dad couldn’t get them back in on his own and they went tough. Thought the village would love that
save a bit on food chomping on everyone’s gardens for the 2 weeks I would be at home

I doubt you can tell the difference mind, so many of the symptoms are the same. Also your a risk to others around you, saying that it’s best practice if you’ve got a cold/flu to stay away from others...
Been doing that all my life

I'm sure you have why take the risk when you can get a test . Unless you can keep full away from people. I guess you will be moaning when restrictions get worse and were are made to where masks at all times out side of the house
