Coronavirus Disease Outbreak COVID-19 #29

Surely they cant before disciplinary if they are unable to get an appointment.
Another thing is your symptoms are bad, let's say flu like and you cant get out of bed. How do they expect you to drive. I had flu once (well suspect it was flu, it completely wiped me out for 10 days).
I couldnt even get out of bed!
My mum had symptoms a few weeks back. The closest test centre was an hour away. It would have been a 2.5/3 hour trip by the time she was back. I'm guessing as more and more open the appointments will be easier to get.

My friend’s sister went for a test. It was 40 mins away. She left home at 9am and got home at 7pm. She said the queues were horrendous.

My work have called me today and depending on what Boris says next, we are expected to go back on shift patterns. I work in an office doing marketing 9-5 and have been told my shift will now be 6-1! Jhz!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you'll be alone

Weve been lucky to be out our pjs by 11! I'm going to need some serious notice for going back to work and the kids going to school.

My turn to be feeling a little bit down in the dumps. God I’ve tried to be positive but today I’m just going to accept it’s one of those days.

It’s my dads funeral this week, hard to accept only a few people are allowed to attend and not allowed to console and stand with one another. No wake, no get together. Nothing. In all honestly, I don’t want to go and would rather ‘celebrate his life’ as such when we are all able to see one another. I appreciate there are many others experiencing the same when it comes to funerals during this pandemic.

I was also due to have a pelvic scan on 18th March, it got moved to 1st April then cancelled altogether. I was fine initially with this but I’m now starting to panic. I’ve been having tests for the last year (I won’t go into too much detail) but it got to the point that my gp was concerned and arranged for the scan. The last few days my mind has been on overdrive and thinking the worst.

So yeah, today’s pretty tit *opens the gin* it’s 5pm somewhere.

I’ve not really opened the gin, as tempting as it sounds.

I remembered you’d said it was the beginning of May but I didn’t want to ask when.
It will be hard but, as others have said, you can have a celebration of his life once it is allowed.
I guess the hardest part will be that you’re unable to comfort your nan and mum.
I hope it goes as well as it can for you all xx

See this worries me, they mentioned chanign peoples shift patterns and travel times. I used to leave for work at 6:40 just to get a space at the station and I get one of the last seats on the 7am train. I cannot see how if I get a late 'slot' how I can get to work. There is only a bus every 1h 20 and it takes over 30 mins to do 6 miles! Maybe I'll have to get a bike

I'm 99% certain that my kids uniform will no longer fit them. We were actually going to go out and get them it but then lockdown happened. They may very well be going back in jogging bottoms and trainers

Completely relate to this. Think my kids might actually have worms!

My local theatre has today emailed to say all 2020 productions have been cancelled. But they may be able to put on a minimal schedule over Christmas!

6am? Can they force you to do that? Surely people have contracts and they can’t just make people work stupid hours

Does anyone here work in the gambling industry (casino/bingo etc). The company I work for didn’t take the virus seriously, didn’t refill hand soap, didn’t clean anything, didn’t ensure that we could all keep 2m distance, insisted that we continue to go to work after Boris announced all social venues to close, lied that they’d pay us full pay etc. I’m dreading when they’re allowed to reopen as they’ll expect ‘all hands on deck’ to get the venues ready and will not be putting our safety first. They really are a profit-before-people company

I hope that the pub/restaurant/gaming sectors aren’t allowed to open for months yet.

Soooooo glad I don’t have kids. Sorry Honestly though couldn’t think of anything worse that being stuck at home 24hrs a day looking after a kid. I’m happy just my little quiet dog and hubby

Getting a hit nervous....I feel like all of a sudden all i am seeing is about relaxations of lock downs and government plans for going back to work. I'm just worried its way too early!! Especially when there is a bank holiday on Friday.

I think regardless of when they lift it people will feel apprehensive and scared. It they drag it out until september it will be flu season around the corner again they clearly want some level of herd immunity before then. Come on guys lets be real, all the nightingales are empty, this virus causes mild cold symptoms in majority of people. I feel lile government have done such a good job at scaring us as if the mortality rate of this virus was 50% or something. Logical mind tells me there is so many bugs and viruses out there and always have been even before this that we cant live in constant fear or we will go crazy. I think we should all breathe and realise this virus isnt as deadly as everyone seems to think there is definitely worse things out there we are prone to catching. Lets breathe keep calm and carry on

He's not announcing anything until Sunday which makes me think he's getting the bank holiday over then easing the lockdown

Hubby and I are over 65 and went for test last week as he had a cough . Appt at 10 got there at 9.50 left at 11 very efficient but o
Painful just uncomfortable. Result came 2 days later negative.
We think we both had it after going to Switzerland in jan but if course no antibody test available to the general public yet
