Holiday hopeful? Essential Covid Avoidance Guide – Will S

As you may have heard, the school has unfortunately recently had some Covid cases. At the Bubble, we of course wish those who have Covid a speedy recovery, however, this guide is not for those people. This guide is for those (myself included) who have their holiday booked or are looking for a last-minute getaway for a taste of the sun before the cold winter sets in. We must ensure our plans are not spoilt by either having to self-isolate or worse still contracting Covid, and therefore I have decided to write this easy 7 step guide for the ultimate anti-catching covid last few days of term.

  1. Complete isolation from others is strongly advisable – who needs friends when you’re sunning yourself on the beach?
  2. When total isolation is unachievable, intense shortness to those around you can help keep pesky vectors far away. Someone asks you how you are? Reply with a scowl and take a few steps back, passive-aggressively adjusting your mask.
  3. Another useful tip is religious hand washing – if your hands aren’t rough and scaly come 4 pm Friday, you haven’t cleaned them enough.
  4. One for the day pupils here – the bus is a no go. Even with a mask and constant sanitation, the mixing of air particles is inevitable on a bus. The car is the only way to travel.
  5. A hazmat suit is a wise investment and one that comes only with rewards – only filtered air for me thanks!
  6. All food you consume must be from a single-use plastic container. Sorry environmentalists, the flight is already a tonne of CO2 so what’s a little extra pollution?
  7. Hold your breath – the best way to avoid contamination! The world record for the longest-held breath is 24 mins and 3 seconds, Guinness world record book, here we come.

If you follow these steps, your holiday is a certainty. Provided you don’t catch covid on the plane…
