Roght. So if I’m right if people were furloughed 30th March that would mean Monday would be within the 21 days? Accounting for the bank holidays?

So what happens then? You haven’t worked for 4 weeks but not eligible for furlough? Does your company have to pay you? Seems a lot of companies are starting to go back and I’m wondering if there is a reason here.

if they have confirmed in writing that you are furloughed then they cannot ask you to work with those 21 days. After that you have to agree to an extension. We have been extended to 31st May but can be called back to work with 48 hours notice.

Your work should pay you and claim the amount back from the government.

Just follow the company share price for earlier indication; there's always one squealer in biotech companies who doesn't care about the disclosure rules

Looks bad on the face of it but the key sentence for some optimism is the last sentence..I told you these scientists are hopeless at non disclosure

Potential coronavirus drug "flops in first trial" - report
An experimental drug that had touted as a potentially effective treatment for coronavirus has flopped in its first comprehensive clinical trial, according to draft results accidentally published online by the World Health Organisation.

According to a report in the Financial Times, which saw the documents, remdesivir failed to improve the condition of patients or reduce the among of the virus in the blood.

The trial, in China, studied the effects of remdesivir on 237 patients, giving the drug to 158, while keeping 79 others as a control group.

Optimism about the drug, made by US drug company Gilead Sciences, had boosted stock markets around the world at the end of last week.

A University of Chicago hospital participating in a study of the antiviral medication had found that nearly all patients suffering severe fever and respiratory symptoms were discharged within a week.

However, it was not an official trial.

The first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford.

Two volunteers were injected, the first of more than 800 people recruited for the study

Have you got a source? I thought it would be a matter of time before the courts became involved.

Some contrasting messages there. It's not an official trial, but it's also the first comprehensive clinical trial? What's the difference?

It is a horrible dilemma facing many families. I had a serious conversation with my nurse daughter about her lack of PPE which went along the lines of your kids are your first priority. Happily those issues are resolved but it was only a matter of time until someone decided that the risks of inadequate PPE were just too much.
