COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

My take is that if the business is open and you can not undertake your job from home then you are expected to go to work as normal. Once you have finished at work you go home and stay home.

But that's fucking crazy if you end up mixing with a bunch of people ( who in my experience) Do NOT practice social distancing.

Too ambiguous in my opinion.

Labour support these measures.

Local takeaways haven't been mentioned!!

Local and vital food source for delivery...

I wonder if the supermarkets will stop selling alcohol..... will it be classed as a non essential item

It's a food substance

Can you work from home?

Yes. But if my boss wants me to come in then I’ll have to - you can still use the trains and travel to work.

It’s not clear

I work at the airport, I'll have to leave the landing lights on at night :)

There should be a sense of shame in this country that it came to this.

It was given an opportunity (wrongly in my view) to take personal responsibility and basically stuck two fingers up to it.

Reality bites, sadly.

That speech only mentioned shops closing but not other businesses. All the staff at my company will be working from home soon so we are ‘open’

I’m assuming construction workers are still meant to go in.

Thanks Kaz, had taken a couple over the weekend and done nothing for it.

My main ongoing symptoms are a scratchy dry cough, a feeling in my chest of having to hack something, a headache (probably from the coughing)

My wife is also starting a cough today :(

Sounds like something else,the virus really hits you hard especially the cough and breathing,if either of you have really difficulty breathing you need to go on 111 on line or phone or if really bad then 999,it is important to remember that it won't be really bad in MOST people and there are plenty of other cold like bugs out there

Just said similar, the exercise could have been restricted to house and garden.

Gives people one less excuse.

Could do with it pissing down for a fortnight
