Awful news, i'm so sorry to hear this. It really is time that carers and NHS staff were tested for it, if it's good enough for sports stars and actors who can afford to do it privately, it's good enough for people like yourself and my niece who is a nurse, who are risking their lives & health in order to help others.

Are you having to do extra/prolonged shifts?

it's got sod all, to do with the election. It's a fine balancing act to keep infection down but still try and keep the economy ticking over.

One cannot buy yeast for love or money currently as TOH wanted to make some home made bread.

First McDonald’s and now Greggs. Maybe the masses will finally start realising the directions about social distancing are meant to be taken seriously.

Re: Coronavirus
 

McDonalds (round here anyway) had switched to Drive Thru only, how is being separated in big lumps of metal not distancing ?

Greggs of course dont have that option, so that at least I could understand.


My other half works in a school, that is staying open for the children of key workers etc etc.

They estimated that about 30 children fell into this category. Six turned up today.

Even though McDonald’s etc are closed, the yooof will still congregate '7 in a VW Polo' in the carparks . . . I can already hear the thump of those 15" bass speakers :spin:

Lockdown imminent.

Glad I picked up the plumbing bits I needed today if every thing's going to close.

They don't have the luxury to fail, it's not an either /or. but the population have to play their part. Be sensible, take the precautions, but work if you can, spend if you can.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Probably not enough business from Drive-Thru to cover the costs of keeping the building(s) open.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Most likely something along those lines ;

Latest: Downing Street spokesperson says it is announce new measures to tackle Covid-19.

Re: Coronavirus
 

They may not have the luxury of failure but they may not have the skill set to succeed either. The global economy is trashed already because of an inability, or unwillingness, to take the required measures quickly.

A successful economy relies on consumers being confident. Death, illness and job instability for those in positions that barely qualify as employment creates zero confidence.

I should point out “Work if you can, spend if you can” directly contradicts UK Government advice and is an extremely, extremely reckless suggestion. It will only extend this epidemic if people continue to ignore the advice to stay in, have as little human contact as possible.
