COVID-19 — Coronavirus

It gets real when you have been stuck in the house for 7 days and the police are checking everyone on the streets to see if they are outside for a legitimate reason

My kids are on full meltdown mode now, this is day 8. Just gotta keep plugging away!

Our gardener turned up this morning and told us he'd just come back from skiing in the French Alps on Monday.

You're paying him too much.

Shutting public transport down too soon will be an issue.

I don't think you shut public transport, you close businesses down or force them to instigate working from home.

No threat of sack, waiting on a call back after they’ve spoke to occupational health. Also had a sore throat and cough start of the week which she mentioned, the response was if it’s no worse just come in you’ll be fine. Now I know they will be stretched but they’re taking stupid risks to their staff and also themselves if they are happy for someone who’s got symptoms to resume to work.

I'm looking at this simply (To be fair it's all that I am capable of). Let's say that before long this virus gets a foothold and a big one and that every hospital is infested from top to bottom with it, the health workers will still have to turn in or the system will just collapse, it's a bit shit but that's it in a nutshell isn't it? Stands to reason more NHS staff will get this than other workers?

In a similar way if you are in the military and a war breaks out and people in the military die it's an occupational hazard. I understand that you are torn and what a rubbish position you're in but imagine what would happen if we lost a lot of staff because of infection and not because they are really ill with it?

The Rich Woke family from number 1 who have driven off to their holiday home in Wales this morning to "Beat the Traffic" now that schools are closing. See the other posts I quoted.

What is the cause of this 'Wokeness?'

That would be me usually.

If Londoners think that their transport system is under-funded they should try the shit show up north.

Canada are going to close the U.S borders within the next few hours.

The annoying thing is the bland promises. "If a child needs specialist support, is vulnerable or has a parent who is a critical worker, then educational provision will be available for them." Who's going to make it available?

It's the same with money to help businesses and employees. "This will happen". How? We'll think about that tomorrow.

if you are not symptomatic going out to parks or the countryside away from others for exercise is still recommended.
Symptomatic people are being told they can go in their gardens if they have them.

If you are in self-isolation, either yourself or someone you live with has symptoms. You should not be out frolicking in the spring. You are in isolation for 14 days. By all means get fresh air in your garden, but self-isolation is not a trivial thing yet it’s being portrayed that way on TV.
