I dunno mate. I guess it's just different to everywhere else. I mean what is the solution? You have to accept l loads of people going to get infected regardless

To be fair I'd rather listen to a medical professional than any politician on something this important.

Yes they defo don't have any political allegiance or advised what they can and can't say

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?

Can you work from home?

Can you work from home?

Not as of yet.

Apparently 5000 laptops have been ordered but that is across the UK. I have been banging on about working from home for years as my sisters do, bro in law and girlfriend. Like banging my head against a brick wall.

There was an interesting observation on Talksport earlier. (Yeah, I know).

It was an English bloke who worked in St Petersburg, for the club iirc. Anyrate, after he had talked about some on line game of Connect 4 with Stoke, he was asked about this virus.

He said Russia is not arsed. They have hardly any cases.Despite a massive land border with China, and a huge number of Chinese at Russian universities. He reckoned they had already had it, but no one noticed cos Russia gets poorly every single winter anyrate.

Food for thought.

There are security reasons that you need to use their laptop rather than your own device I suppose?
