Coronavirus disease support

I tried to send you one but it wouldn’t work. Happy to share my email on here if it’s allowed? It wouldn't work for me either. Thanks anyway. My husband has moved into a B&B so it is a bit better. I have a bit of space and I have sorted some stuff. Thank you for offering to help me x

I think they need to ease up restrictions a little bit

All we are doing is supressing it and pushing it further down the line, do we really want the 2nd wave to concide with winter illnesses?

no doubt Restrictions will be put in place again in winter. People need to have some resemblance of a life before then otherwise if they want to countinue like this with restrictions all summer then what will hit us will be worse later on as people will simply not stay like this for 6/7 months

I find it amusing how any talk of a second wave is being suppressed, especially in the USA.

they really are trying to play it down but you can tell that what they’re NOT saying is louder than what they are.....

Are you worried about autumn??

NOOOOO, not all all, we’re the best country in the world!!!!

so why are we still making ventilators..

*looks awkward*
trump - because we’re the king of ventilators

even interviews suggesting a second strain coinciding with the flu will be hard to handle are being played down.

he’s asked a question about it...

“I closed the border long before........”

shut up trump. But obviously don’t because these press conferences are GOLD!

I was up at 3am thinking about it all.
I’m a key worker & we are really struggling at work as we have so many staff off self isolating as they have asthma etc, now we know social distancing is going to be in place for the rest of the year I am wondering if they are all going to be off until a vaccine is available. This isn’t a dig at them I just worry as the staff that are left are close to burnout

 

[Boredofthegram]

I had a wobble yesterday and ended up dying my bleached blonde hair bright pink. I look like a troll now still, passed some time in lockdown.

hoping my Whitty mug arrives today

Its like the stages of grief, one moment I’m fine and accepting, one minute I’m sobbing and the next I’m doing mad things like cooking Xmas dinner and dying hair.....at least I stayed away from the scissors I suppose!

Just read this....

But then they're allowing this.

You are allowed to bring your children and other members of your household to our stores, but we ask that you keep this to a minimum to help us maintain social distancing advice.

“you break it you buy it”

is now

“you breathe on it you buy it”

From a work perspective working in government, we are being told lockdown lifting to start from the 1st June. Football to start from the 6th June behind closed doors.

Some of these ‘new rules’ really make me laugh at the thought that people don’t already follow them. Why would you touch something you don’t want to buy anyway??
It’s like when the whole hand washing thing came out and some people were amazed that they should wash their hands before eating and after going to the bathroom.

What can we expect?

I’m sick of them telling us we aren’t there yet. The peak was supposed to be 2/3 weeks after lockdown and here we are at the end of week 5.
The shops and roads are busier than ever and my neighbours have people visiting everyday.. We will never come out of it at this rate. I suspect the government don’t care as they want a proportion of us to get it.

He has to see the that melania and himself planted “grow up “ you know the one to celebrate World Earth Day while he’s counting the branches we’re counting His ratings

So restrictions are being lifted from the 1st June?

When will this be announced officially?

We were never going to be back to ormla after 3 weeks though. Not when they are preparing to pay 80% of people's wages for 3 months as a minimum.

I'm not sure they can accurately give a detailed programme of opening things so far in advance. Even following other countries guidance, its all still pretty much the blond leaking the blind.

This is the “New World “ we will never return to what we had .people are going to have to learn a new way of doing things I still can’t believe people think this “will be over “ in a few weeks/months this is just the beginning ..of life as we’re going to know it ..

I've had an email from work (local government) saying we will not be opening and non essential services until AT LEAST June. This includes cafes, sports centres, gyms, museums, theatres and tourist info.
I'm assuming these will be the last places to open.
I doubt schools will be re opening this academic year. And I think they will be lucky if they re open completely in September.
We are just living one day at a time in our house. Daughters bday party had been cancelled (in June, at local swimming pool).
Were ment to be in Cornwall in mid July, doubt that will happen.
I know its frustrating but it's out of everyones control. Just take it one day at a time and try to enjoy your time off.

No idea on the detail but government are telling specific sectors messages to get ready, construction as of last week have been told to get mobilised and back on site next week (and they are). Football have been told restrictions to start be lifted from the 1st June, so therefore football to restart 6th June behind closed doors.

All very hush hush, with no overall picture

 

[Curiously curious]

I see that Jenny Harries deputy CMO also had Coronavirus and was off for 10 days but it was quite mild, that’s why we sdisnt see her for a while. She was on Lorraine this morning

The hair thing...I did it last weekend.

Supposedly rose - it actually turned out like a highlighter!

I agree. As my last post saying I work for local government. It's only mid manager level so I'm not getting exclusive info. We have had an email saying we opening certain facilities until AT LEAST June (including swimming pools). The next day I had a email from the swimming lesson team, saying they will be letting people know every 3 weeks when they lessons will be restarting (Local government pool).
Like wtf? You know it wont be till at least June?!

Also I think IF football games go ahead it will be live streamed? Surely they wont allow thousands up on thousands into the stadiums.

I have to touch basically everything to read the nutrition label and find out about allergies. It’s pretty normal?

What do you expect single parents to do with their children? I'm sure people would rather not bring their family members into the store but many people have no choice if the other parent works away/ isn't involved. Im lucky that I have a few delivery slots booked but if I didn't I'd need to take my child with me as can't even leave him at grandparents. My partner works away for weeks at a time.
