So government advice is pregnant women to avoid social contact, yet I'm still working (civil service) in a confined office and making may way to and from work. It's been possible to have the ability to work from home for years but they have been against it. Where do I stand if I tell them I'm not going in because I have a pregnant girlfriend who is more than likely going to be induced in less than 3 weeks?
 
I get the advice and it seems to make sense given the situation but whatever your business is imagine being told to close it down. Simply that’s it , your business is shut for an undefined period .
Unfortunately mate it all boils into one.

I've been – for all intents and purposes – laid off for the foreseeable future today. I have also had the news this morning that I haven't got a job I'd been in for.

I try not to worry about things in general. I'm young and don't have the stresses that others do. But I still have bills to pay etc and now I'm extremely concerned what the case is gonna be over the next few months.

Not only that, but when stuff does get back to 'normal' in terms of sports, or near enough normal, I've been told I can't expect the same amount of shifts as the companies I work for have to make up for giving full-time staff extra time off right now due to the lack of events.

So my wellbeing and health, in this instance, has really taken a hit today. I'm not one for getting inside my own head, I used to a lot and so in the last five years I actively look for other ways around this. But it's really done me in mate. Like, massively. So in my case, I may not have the virus (I might do, I might have had it, I don't know, or I might not get it at all) but the uncertainty over my financial state / career is really worrying me.

Sorry to hear that mate @BlueToff . Hope you get sorted out and everything works out. Totally get the worry.

Of course it's very worrying for employees and businesses. We need government and welfare system to protect all those who need it. If that means paying back more tax in future once health issues are resolved then all who can afford need to pay their share.

This is unprecedented and worrying and almost surreal. Unfortunately the health solutions look like they will be terrible for the economy. No easy answers here.

Just hope everyone stays safe and well and we get through this.
 
Not sure why theres a clamour from the media journalists on criminal enforcement through bans etc

If the government and chief mind expert in the country say dont go to the pub or the theatre for the sake of our health, then we shouldn't go and they should close.

We live in a civilised country. I dont think people (in the main) will need criminal threats.

Got to be very careful in the coming months as their is a dangerous element in our society that will be pushing for draconian anti liberty legislation to get passed through in the name of "public safety".
 
Its the missus birthday this weekend and mothers day, we had/have a weekend of meals already booked.

We should avoid this?

Just close them Boris you pig shagging ferret.

Yes you should avoid them. Why you need Boris to make that decision for you is anyone's guess.
