Just as well it isn't a warning about an incoming nuclear attack. Only those of us on EE would have survived (we got ours around 8 this morning). :D

The emergency services don't need to be responding to crap like this. Three feral youths also arrested not far from me for setting fire to wheelie bins outside shops and a care home.

Government should be setting up temporary detention centres for morons like this where they're kept in cages for the duration of the lockdown.

Another group of mindless people here who have wilfully chosen to ignore the new restrictions as well.

I think the police should be given the powers to give such people a good shoe-ing to the bollards as well as a fine.

The UK has recorded the highest number of coronavirus deaths in one day after another 87 people died across the country - taking the total to 422.

O2 have said they are sending the message in batches, I expect that is what Vodaphone are doing.

Not a happy bunny, I just got a memo at work.

We have been declared key workers, so must carry on.

Not only that if we are sick instead of us being given a full wage and the company claiming the £94., we will only get £94.

As a result I have had to temporarily stop seeing my mum in hospital.

My sister had it confirmed we can visit.

A update, we maintain C-130 parts, the US DoD and Lockheed Martin would like us to remain open as far as it is possible. The RAF said we are a key organisation and it is envisaged that the RAF C-130s will be key in the assist to combat Covid-19.

If we are ill we will get a full wage, if we have to self isolate because a member of the house is showing symptoms you will only get £94 per week:mad:

Quote:

People unable to work for more than seven days because of coronavirus (COVID-19) can obtain an isolation note through a new online service.
Isolation notes will provide employees with evidence for their employers that they have been advised to self-isolate due to coronavirus, either because they have symptoms or they live with someone who has symptoms, and so cannot work.

As isolation notes can be obtained without contacting a doctor, this will reduce the pressure on GP surgeries and prevent people needing to leave their homes.

For the first seven days off work, employees can self-certify so they don’t need any evidence for their employer. After that, employers may ask for evidence of sickness absence. Where this is related to having symptoms of coronavirus or living with someone who has symptoms, the isolation note can be used to provide evidence of the advice to self-isolate.
