Status update: COVID (Patreon)

Hi everybody.

We've got COVID.

So, a few days ago, we had some visitors coming in to give our daughter's birthday gift, and we did the polite thing of inviting them in for a tea. That, it turned out, was a mistake. 

They tested positive during the weekend, and yesterday Chestnut and I, too, began to show symptoms. They were minor problems at first -- a bit of sore throat and headache, but have turned a bit more annoying today: fever, chills, extreme fatigue, constant coughing, dizziness, vomiting, and migraine.

None of our symptoms are severe enough to require hospitalization (we're both vaccinated), but we thought we should let you know about it because it has already started affecting our work. Today, for example, I could barely do one hour's work (Chestnut perhaps less so), and we've been the whole day in the bed, half-sleep or covered in blankets. 

We will, of course, get back to our usual work routine as soon as we can, but in the meantime, you might see a drop in the tasks done in the daily updated progress tracker.

Anyway, I hope you have a better holiday, and please take every precaution you can.

Cheers
