If you cannot stand the heat, do not let me take your temperature

I did an oops today.  We have started to measure temperatures at work today but an issue arose when someone was noted to have a possible raised temperature.  I measured it, joking that the person was contagious, only to find that they had a temperature of 37.8!  That meant that they had to leave work, and has they had been in work for over 15 minutes, the room that they were in has had to be locked.  The only issue is that later, it transpired that the thermometer I used may not be working properly.  However, the person is now at home and should hopefully be getting tested.  But I am not allowed to use the thermometer, which to be fair was to have been calibrated, but this was to have occurred earlier this year, but did not as I was in isolation when my son had been found to have a raised temperature.  But, I am going to have to make sure that I am the first one into work on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday so that I can carry out the temperature checks.  

And onto what has happened abroad.  I am sure that the government here are glad that no matter how bad they have been with ordering PPE or obtaining it from local sources in the country, that we will look across to the Atlantic and see worse, much worse.  In a recent discussion on Twitter, one tweeter stated that the President was being sarcastic when he made his statements about UV light and injections of disinfectant.  I would say repeating the lie, but while Trump lied about his statement, the tweeter may have actually believed him.  Sadly, many others believed Trump as well, though Trump has refused to accept responsibility for his statements.

Anyway, a quick update on the kids.  And that is quite simple, I have been knackered so have been getting home late.  So I have not seen them that much and when we have, it has not been too good.  Saying that, dinner last night was okay, though the kids were keen not to spend time with me afterwards.  My wife had suggested we all do something together, but they did not want to.  It has been fine for her though as they have bonded with her more in the last few days.  I guess they might like to spend time with me again on the weekend, but I am not sure that will happen.

On a more positive note, I have resolved since my last blog entry to fill my FaceBook feed with things to make people laugh.  I think it is working!  Anyway, good night and stay safe.
