Yet the people who habitually bemoan their lot, slag off their employers and go on strike are typically those with the greatest job and income security.

I agree. I cannot imagine we'd contemplate vaccinating tens of millions of people with anything other than something which had been rigorously proven to be safe. Can you imagine if we had another thalidomide type catastrophe on our hands, or should the vaccine caused some other horrible complications?

The Swine Flu vaccine was delivered in October, with the pandemic starting in March. 7 months from outbreak to vaccination.

No one should be expecting a vaccine to come around in a few weeks, but the people who are saying it won't be ready for 18 months-2 years are either underplaying it strategically or not really appreciating how much more quickly the wheels turn when people are dying in their thousands.

There will be all sorts of delivery jobs and warehouse stuff, where you can take extra precautions ie leaving stuff on doorsteps and working away from others in the warehouse etc.

Up to you bud but it’s worth considering if he needs it.

It's not if he needs it mate it's if they want you I've been out of work for two years and had one interview but all the best to those who are unfortunate and have to seek new employment.

Supermarket recruitment drive

Aldi has announced a recruitment drive to hire 9,000 new workers, including 4,000 permanent jobs, to help keep shelves filled during the coronavirus outbreak.

The supermarket added that all nappies and paper products, including toilet and kitchen roll, will now be restricted to two items per customer. All other products will remain restricted to four items per customer, with a few exceptions.

So one day in and possibly two and it is a fact we are way over

Let's see, I do not actually doubt it is coming to that, but some do like to rush in with the bad news as if they ae doing us all a favour

Just my view.

It’s going up exponentially not linearly. Within a few days it will be 2000 a day. So yes, way over.

Serial killers would be at a loss too. Not withstanding the personal contact one would have to come into with a victim, how are they supposed to prowl areas with a lockdown coming?

It’s a bummer. I’d only just finished putting fake Ocado Delivery signs on my van.

Asda to hire 5,000 people laid off elsewhere because of COVID-19

The supermarket said it was working with 20 national companies to bring in people from industries including food and travel.

Chief executive Roger Burnley said: "During these difficult times everyone has to work together to help people most affected by Covid-19 and Asda is pleased to play its part.

"That is why today we have committed to hiring more than 5,000 employees who have lost their jobs due to Covid-19 and have been left with deep concerns about their household budgets

Lidl to hire 2,500 workers on four-week contracts

Recruits can start immediately and will be paid at least £9.30 an hour.

The supermarket said: "The new hires will be responsible for working together to keep the store clean, tidy and the shelves well stocked so that customers can get the products they need
 
tbh I dont know why they didnt isolate the old and vulnerable and let the rest of us continue to provide the support and food and services that the vulnerable and old will need.

I have neighbours who now cannot buy milk, the delivery hasnt happened, the delivery firm have people off sick.

Really think we've gone nuclear on this and it is causing many more issues.



Dont go too hard on me guys, it's just my opinion at the moment having been shopping and seen the carnage
