Just checking to see if we are all finding our way around the site .
I have been through a few platform changes over the years here and it always takes me time to adjust .
Hope you are all ok and keeping well .

They possibly have but they can’t confirm anything . The article I read in the BMJ had lots of disclaimers but they think it may be a sign of immunity and the body processing it out the system . No idea how accurate that is . Right at the very start of the pandemic just as everything was closing my sons lab partner was really ill but came in . Her flat mate had been really ill on her return from skiing in Italy and my son took ill. Not sure if we had some spread back then ! I only took two covid toes but my son and mum had more . The covid toes arrived after my sister was infected six months later ! I had been in decorating my parents house last February so if it all stacks up I think I might have unknowingly infected them . I thought they were going to end up really ill when my sister took it as they had sat right across from her when she was at her most infectious and travelled in her car with mask on . But in the coffee shop they were directly opposite unmasked . Not even a sniffle! I do remember when painting suddenly turning bright red and sweating but thought I must be unfit ! The strange thing was we all took covid toes around the same time after being near my infected sister .
I guess we will never know but whatever it was despite being exposed to it , thankfully she was not ill,
She has been so careful too but one wee trip is all it takes . That was back in Nov . I decided no more coffee shops , even outside ones !
Hope your well .

Hi Court. Yes, Auckland jumped back to L3 and the rest to L2. For 7 days initially. Some people are not following the rules, I.e going back to work, going to shops, visiting others when they should have been self isolating etc. The current restrictions are being blamed on those people and there will be a nervous wait this week for results etc. I live a long way from Auckland, but ....
Otherwise I’m ok, just starting to think about my next psa test for Prostate cancer. They’ve all been good so far, but my bowel cancer scare knocked my confidence a lot. Keep safe everyone!

Take special care and recover in the comfort of your own home ,

Thanks. It was good. Consultant hoped for 1 or less by this time, mine was 0.83. Happy!
Great news about the PSA, think my last one was 14.5, now having them every 3 months with one due next week. My CEA is also climbing & had to go for a CTR last Sunday.
How is the vaccination roll-out going in NZ? Aslo what are JA's plans to reopen the economy?
