Same here at the moment, restricted numbers, only close family and friends and extra hygiene measures in place.
I think going forward things might change
my mum died last Thursday ( not from the virus) we have been told the same. This is in South Wales. To be honest we are expecting the funeral to be cancelled. My mum is laying in a morgue and none of us know if we will be able to lay her to rest In two weeks time.

I would actually lose my SHIT. I don't think it's ok to go up touching random babies without asking in general, to do it at a time like this is just so idiotic.

I am so, so sorry you're having to go through that.
I can't imagine the uncertainty and upset it's causing.
Sending lots of love

Still no lockdown in the UK? Why the fuck not? What is wrong with the idiot government there?

That must be the biggest anticlimax since Rebecca Lambs 'exciting new videoh' of smoothies.

See what tomorrow brings.

I know this is going to sound totally selfish but I work in health and social care in a hospital. I’m not a nurse and I’m my opinion my job isn’t strictly “essential” especially in these times. However I do have daily contact with patients and other staff who are involved in looking after patients with the virus. I really do not want to go to work anymore. I have 4 young kids at home ranging from 8 to 1 and my partner has an underlying condition that would put him at higher risk if he contracted the virus. If I brought it home to them I would never forgive myself. I don’t have anywhere else to stay to keep away from them (our families live in another country) and also do not want to live away from my children nd partner for an indefinite period of time. I feel physically sick at the thought of going to work, I actually sat in the car and cried before going in to work today. At the same time I see how other people (not just health care but supermarket workers, delivery drivers etc) are being so courageous and brave and going to work day after day and I feel so guilty for just wanting to isolate at home and keep safe. I feel like I’m bordering on a total breakdown, I have honestly never felt so stressed or conflicted in my life. Not really sure what the point of this post is, guess I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Important point from whitty about numbers still going to go up despite measures because it takes a few weeks for the impact to be felt.

That’s great that’s being done there at least family members have options available to them. “Postponed” doesn’t give us any info.
You also have to remember here in the US we have a useless piece of shit in charge. Therefore states are setting their own guidelines as they see fit to deal with all aspects of this.
It’s asinine. We have well over 10,000 cases and still can’t properly test..

“As far as I am aware it’s a test like a pregnancy test but it needs blood, not urine”

Okay then Bojo. I’ll get ready to piss out my blood

I think so. There's no way we're going into the weekend with pubs and restaurants still open. Even my local soft plays are STILL advertising that they're open! Has to stop now.

Well it is going to be even worse because they are not ordering things to close/lockdown. I am furious at the UK government. I don't live there now but my family do.

My local pub are still advertising the importance of supporting small business and will be open as usual. I know they need a living but we also need to live
