We haven't been testing.
As of yesterday we have tested 56,000 people. and have 2,600 confirmed cases. Italy by comparison had tested 60,000 by 9th March and had 9200 confirmed cases. By that measure we look a lot better prepared.

My son’s school today released a comprehensive timetable and required numbers of hours that need to be logged.
mine too. We are on day three of self isolation, both children set on line work ...six hours worth! End of day call from the teacher to see how they got on.

They've been testing mainly people in hospital rather than people with symptoms haven't they? Seems a bit apples and oranges.

Mine will be similar but without the call. They have contact with all teachers via the online messaging system instead.

Where I work we were told to go home if we fell into the vulnerable category. I do. I'm working from home as I luckily managed to get all my home access stuff sorted before I left. *Hopefully* I'll still get full pay as I'm still completing work. There are others at home who have no access & are not doing anything for the company. We were all given the choice to go back into the office & work if we wanted ... Quite a few went back in. IMO though, if you fall into a risk category & are able to work from home then definitely do it. Your husband sounds extremely lucky & the company brilliant too. Personally I wasn't prepared to risk staying in an environment of 100 people sharing toilets etc for 12hrs a day when I could potentially get really poorly. I also have a severely immunocompromised relative that although is currently not nearby is on palliative care & I'm not allowed to see. I'd be thankful your husband works for such a great employer. Why risk your life ... I'm well as he is currently but that might not be the case if someone at work has poor hygiene + he's there

Don’t forget we stopped testing a lot of cases for a little while. So our figure will always be skewed.

I saw this...I just question that if you were in ICU would you be making a video...?
Usually, yes. But she clearly wanted to get this very important message out, when it seems some people still aren’t taking it seriously...

I cried yesterday, I cried this morning before work, I cried at work. I told my colleagues I’d been having chest pains (anxiety) for a few days, they admitted the same, we all cried, spoke to a consultant she cried. Totally get where your coming from xx

She’s got nasal specs on far to well to be in critical care

It seems to be varying from Council to Council as to whether its one or both parents
