I guess even if you were isolated in a hotel room then your own mortgage/rent/utility bills would still need to be paid, never mind supporting your partner, kids etc?

Think they’re worried about people with symptoms keeping quiet and still going into work as they can’t afford not to.
that just promotes going out and getting infected...

Yes, I'm not against the payment, I was just thinking about making sure they actually isolated, as currently that is more important for the country than just giving someone £500, who might take the money and then still not isolate.I guess even if you were isolated in a hotel room then your own mortgage/rent/utility bills would still need to be paid, never mind supporting your partner, kids etc?
I'd only give them the money if they agreed to be checked on, ie in a hotel that they can be checked on.
Cheers. Just bought a similar one off Amazon, here tomorrow.
Probably peaked a day or two ago in severity so I’m reality hoping it’s the road to recovery now.
Still very weak and isleep calls I answer without as much as an arm wrestle.
Heart races if I’m walking about too much or trying any form of exertion.
Struggling to inhale deeply but force myself (holding breath for breathing exercises) after which I explode in a coughing fit. These are less dry coughs though so that’s something.
Found solace in a hot water bottle of all things.
Speaking with an old friend/client (she was a microbiologist) and she agrees with my assertion that me being physically rundown (Haverhill slept too well recently) & then sat in a cold flat all the time probably compromised my immune system (which is normally rock solid).
Gave it a foothold at least.
Thanks for asking - hope you’re well mate.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not wholeheartedly advocating these payments. There are clear flaws with the idea, as well as some merits.that just promotes going out and getting infected...

Good to here, coincidence that you and another couple of lads in here who i identify with prolly due to age got it at the same time - interested to see how everyones recovery compares with mine.Probably peaked a day or two ago in severity so I’m reality hoping it’s the road to recovery now.
Parents have been bribing children to sit still and be quiet for thousands of years.. but teachers can do it with a word or gesture every time... hmmmm. Whats that about then? and why do i relate it to our softie PM who wants to be the nice guy all the time?If you’re offering it, I’ll take it.

I'd offer it to some to sit in a hotel room where they will be checked, they can pay for their food at a reasonable rate.how about £500 for sitting at home and behaving?
The majority of us don't need to be incentivised though, we'd just act responsibly.
Only those of us who’d get sick pay though. There are many who would need financial support in order to isolate.The majority of us don't need to be incentivised though, we'd just act responsibly.
