Over-reacting over-reactors

I’m working from home today, for reasons I do not quite understand. Gavin contacted me yesterday and told me to keep away for another day, which seems ridiculous. My PCR test was negative, I am starting to feel better, and the medical advice is that you either isolate for 10 days (if you have it) or carry on as normal is you haven’t. So asking me to stay away from the office for a fourth day, then welcoming me back on the fifth, makes no sense whatsoever in any scenario. Maybe they’re waiting to see if my bug-that-isn’t-Covid suddenly becomes a bug-that-is-Covid. Has that happened to anyone in this long, ongoing Pandemic Of Fun?
The whole decision-making process seems to be based on ‘Just in case…’ But just in case WHAT? Just in case I have it after all, and the PCR was faulty? Just in case all the advice from experts is wrong and I may be infectious, even though I don’t even have it? By that rationale I should be kept away every day ‘just in case’ I might become a deranged lunatic who decides to scoop everyone’s eyes out with a sock.
Anyway, enough whinging. Time for another coffee and a look at some advertising ideas for next Summer.
