So “work if you can” still government advice. I’ll add safely to it. “Spend if you can” probably taken a bit of a hit in some areas.

Yes and also aware of inflation, I don’t fancy going to Tesco with a wheelbarrow of £50 notes to buy my daily shop.

You're embarrassing yourself.

Daily exercise could easily be walking back and forth in your home or confined to your back yard or garden. No need to go running out on the streets or parks.

My need to go out(once a week) and buy food is dictated by how much would be available when I did go out. Eg If I lock myself away for 2 or even 3 weeks, what's going to be the food situation afterwards?

Going to lock myself away for 2 weeks and see how it goes from there.

How so?

No, you got removed for being an ass in your posts, so dont start again, or you'll get another holiday.

Just as an attempt to distract from the bickering temporarily, thought I'd put it out there that WWE has made their network free to everyone (usually £9.99 a month) until further notice.

Re: Coronavirus
 

That’s more difficult than it sounds. We have an internationally traded fiat currency and an economy built on debt. Everyone agreeing to stop and then start again isn’t enough. Everything depreciates while we do nothing, as the wealth necessary to keep up with the depreciation isn’t being generated. And while government can in theory simply write cheques to paper over the shortfall in the immediate term, the longer term ramifications of doing this can be serious. The economy is only really the same on the other side of this is all the comparable economies around the world stop and start at around the same time.

I went back to work today after 4 days with my mum who was taken to hospital (it was 50/50 if she would come out). Can I see her, i have access outside her room to gloves, aprons hand cleaner?

At work we can only use our canteen to get a drink, cook food but we cannot eat in there,and must use gloves (we have glove as we handle oils etc)

We must be at least 6ft apart.

I must only leave my office to collect manual that I update, and no chatting.

Rumours are going around that Lockheed Martin (a customer) wants us to remain open as they see us as essential and want us to have passes. despite the fact the are a yank company, and our boss has no back bone and sees his bonus fly away.

Many will be fuming at still going despite this news.

That's a massive relief to us all. Think I'd rather get coronavirus.

Re: Coronavirus
 

My position is clear, and not out of step with the government. If you can work safely then continue to do so.

Re: Coronavirus
 

I'm able to WFH, but those who still have to go into the office have been told today that the canteen is now shut until further notice.

The vending machines have also been shut off as well (unclear why, other than maybe running out).

Re: Coronavirus
 

So, is it a 'National Emergency', with a more robust request to stay at home, as opposed to a formal lockdown then?
