We had covid in the summer. Apart from a nasty cough I felt well, but Mrs Steve was quite poorly for several days. We were supposed to visit an elderly couple in south Devon today, but in view of the rash of cases among our immediate contacts we called it off. We heard today that several more people "in our circle" have tested positive, including two that we had big hugs with in our house (along with our daughter) on Saturday night. We tested again a couple of hours ago and are both still negative. It feels like Christmas is on a knifedge.
