We’re in Witbank. I don’t know if he’s still active, but @Blazzok was in Middelburg until a couple of years ago. Where are you, @murfle?

Hopefully it all goes well!
I was off sick for most of last week and while my test came back negative, I found that my bosses were somewhat irate with me due to the hassle testing positive would have caused them.

Hah… I’m from there, but decided to move to Centurion some years ago. I used to be the only one out there (that I knew of) except for one dude from MyGaming.

I must say with this whole covid thing the world has changed on how offices space viewed. I see alot of companies moving to remote work and having smaller satellite offices, depending on the type of work.
My biggest issue with working from home is that its has also become a stressful environment with the whole thing of people thinking you at home so you can do things and work longer hours. I heard a interesting thing on the radio the other day. They said its in some cases you not working from home you are sleeping at work.

If your avatar is accurate, it looks like the swab would have plenty of room, plus direct access!

Had my test last week. I swear I felt my eyes cross over when that swab was stuck in…

I find it odd, most people I have spoken to only get a throat swab now, not both

I had the throat swab both times. Wife had the brain swab 3 times now.

from what i heard the brain swab is more accurate than the throat swab.
whats crazy to think about is how many people had to get this done before they knew it was the best method

That’s hectic, @Avatar. I hope your test comes back negative and that your wife’s case is mild.

Thanks, man. Luckily I’m still asymptomatic, and this evening will be 5 days since my wife’s symptoms started, so in a couple of hours I’ll count myself completely asymptomatic. Until then I’m stifling anything resembling a cough!
Wife is doing very well, the typical flu meds (tamiflu, panado, antibactaria, and an antiviral) is keeping her symptoms managed quite well. Her biggest complaint today is that my snoring kept her awake last night…

I’m glad that you and your wife are still both alright.

Wife and kids all went back to school this Monday. Yesterday, they all had to come home, a student in the same grade as my eldest kid tested positive. Now the school is closed until next Monday and my eldest needs another test (luckily the department of health set up a testing clinic in the school grounds).
Interesting times

Agree with you. We’re still working from home, haven’t seen the office since mid March. We also just had a company wide “state of CCS” and we’ve basically been told that we don’t expect to open office until at least January 2021. It’s really nice to be a part of a company that values its employees, or at least have a percieved value as an employee. I’m only asked to try and get to 8 hours of work a day.
This is really embracing remote work and flexi-hours.
