Thanks for that - hopefully it's just a cold exacerbated by stress and overwork, but we'll find out if and when a test can be arranged. Her lack of ID doesn't help there.

On a different note, how do you manage life without an ID?

ID cards aren't issued in the UK - she has "official id" numbers - NI, Tax, NHS, and so forth, and she has bank cards, birth certificates, and similar paperwork - but no photo ID because she doesn't need it. She never learned to drive (probably a good thing, she'd be a road rage terror) so no photo driving licence, hates to leave Wales (let alone the UK) so no passport.
The UK last scrapped the idea of ID cards back in 2011, after it was discovered that it was going to cost thousands of times more to implement and run that they would claw back by charging every adult to have one ... only took them 5 years to work that one out, after spending £5 billion, and shipping 15,000 cards at £30 each.

Hope it's nothing serious and you both get out of quarantine soon

Best of luck.
I was going to suggest a computer game for you to play but with you being cooped up for a fortnight nothing obvious came to mind...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Might be worth inquiring. Our state government agency that issues drivers licences also issues a non-licence, purely for the purposes of having a legit photo ID (for 18yos to get into pubs etc). NSW Photo Card - Licence - Roads - Roads and Maritime Services[^]
I went to my GP on Monday for a routine checkup and flu shot. Got IR scanned at the door (36.1, all good) but because I've had a bit of a (wet) cough for a few weeks I got swabbed (yuk). Haven't heard anything more, so I guess it came back negative.
All the best to you both.
Cheers,

They told me that a mask and gloves were enough to go to the supermarket. Turns out they lied, everyone else has clothes on.

I'm still stuck at home:
1. I cannot go out in public without a mask.
2. I cannot get a mask without going out.

simple: use a pair of panties and some string or ribbon to tie them on.
hard part is deciding which one wont be missed from the collection.

Then that would be TMI on a major scale.

Not too much information, but rather the wrong information.
I want to know how he did it!

I sometimes have this weird issue where I get a new mail and the email app thinks it's part of some email conversation.
I just got a CodeProject newsletter and the app thought this was the followup to some email I sent in 2011, to someone who is not on CP or, for as far as I know even heard of CP.
It's a bit annoying, I even accidentally deleted that mail from 2011 while I shouldn't have seen it at all.
Really makes you wonder what Google does to my emails and what weird algorithm thinks "let's go back to 2011 and see if I can find something to match with this new email"

Well, I know they read my emails, make a detailed profile of me and then send me targeted ads.
But I'm interested in the weirder, unspeakable things they do with my data...
