He’s not too bad at the moment thanks @PixieKnuckle, he had a very bad sore throat and muzzy head at the start but that has eased in the last couple of days and he is feeling more himself now. He’s still isolating as my daughter still has a low immune system.
He was fully vaccinated for Covid for his age.

1.Main points
The following points are for the week ending 8 August 2022 for Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, and the week ending 6 August 2022 for England.
The percentage of people testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) continued to decrease in England, Wales and Scotland; and decreased in Northern Ireland.
In England, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 1,432,900 (95% credible interval: 1,339,600 to 1,524,800), equating to 2.63% of the population, or around 1 in 40 people.
In Wales, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 72,600 (95% credible interval: 54,800 to 93,000), equating to 2.39% of the population, or around 1 in 40 people.
In Northern Ireland, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 36,600 (95% credible interval: 25,100 to 50,200), equating to 2.00% of the population, or 1 in 50 people.
In Scotland, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 164,100 (95% credible interval: 137,400 to 193,700), equating to 3.12% of the population, or around 1 in 30 people.
The number of people infected with coronavirus in the UK is continuing to fall, Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show.
Its latest data estimates 1.7 million people - about one in 40 of us - would have tested positive two weeks ago.
That is down significantly from 3.5 million in early July and school holidays may be part of the reason.
The number of people dying with Covid or being admitted to hospital with the virus is also falling.
The ONS infection survey tests a random bunch of homes to track the virus, so their figures are not affected by the fact most of us are not testing any more.
Hi
So they say, however there seems to be an unlimited supply coming in to hospital at the moment
We have 3 new ones
