It comes as NHS England plans to expand the number of people it can test in a day to 10,000, up from 1,500.

That'll just make the panic buying worse: My Sainsbury's today as well as the pasta, rice and tinned tomatoes shelves having been stripped the eggs were empty as well. Tinned meat and bread were also taking a hammering.

Sainsburys have said that if they've got it, people can buy whatever they want. I think that this encourages panic buying and shows that they have no care about looking after their regular customers.

On the contrary, rationing products encourages the impression that supply is limited and simply pushes the problem elsewhere. There is no shortage of supply of basic products and the only real problem is logistics, which is solvable with temporary measures such as suspending delivery curfews.
Once the idiots have all filled their cupboards with toilet rolls and pasta the panic will burn itself out, and then all the local community Facebook pages will be full of said idiots trying to sell on stuff they suddenly realise they have nowhere to keep and no chance of using before Christmas.

Re: Coronavirus
Yeaterday Boris was talking about self isolation if you have flu like symptons stay at home for 7 days.
Well thats not going to happen where I work.
We have a sickness system called the Bradford Factor basically you get scored for the sickness, (1 3-day is better than 3 1-days). which can result in a wriiten warning.

I am pretty sure that wouldn't last the legal test, in a Tribunal, given the present circumstances.
Emergency legislation will be put forth next week or soon, that stops employers, penalising their employees, for stopping the spread of the virus, by self isolating, by stopping at home.

Same . . few years ago I spent 2 months in & out of hospital, followed by one month recovering from surgery.
Returned to work to face a disciplinary for absence, which ended up being a waste of everyones time

It is interesting for employers after years of hounding the genuinely sick.. Do they want to encourage staff with the virus to come in and wipe out the rest of the workforce? They might have penalise staff for 'presenteeism' instead.

So is it a "disciplinary" or just an investigation asking questions and establishing the truth?
