Tell that to my 17 year old son and my 14 year old neighbours daughter then. They have just come out of 12 days self isolation after getting Covid.

 

They are not the only ones up here in rural Thailand who have caught it recently and most of those people are also self isolating.

And my FIL, the 4 people in the house at the back and the one who couldn't go for a drink the other night cause he's copped for it.

I like to think that we've seen the worst of it, but I've thought that before.
