Some massive bellendery in here.

If you have nothing good/useful to say, then don’t.

That would be the death of this forum

So that's me off work for 2 weeks now in isolation.

Even though I told them I'm healthy and we don't have the virus at all in the house, as per guidelines they advised me to come home.

Least that's covered for if/when I have to self isolate in the future.

Keep us informed about what's going on, it's a scary time for everyone. I think it'd be beneficial to all, ensuring we all keep talking.

My region announced on Facebook that important retailers (banks, supermarkets, chemists etc) will be allowed to open on Sundays to reduce overcrowding. People replying in the comments complaining about Sunday trading. Never change, Germans.

I'd just like to say a huge thank you to @Bruce Wayne for deciphering a ton of important information and putting it into terms I understand and a length that I can be bothered to read. He's providing a vital service.

At least the weather is rubbish in Madrid today. If you´re going to be inside all the time, it might as well be with grey clouds overhead.

Flights back to Liverpool, South Africa and Eastern Europe were all planned over the next few months. Really hoping the airlines take it out of my hands and cancel the flights because I very much doubt I´d be allowed in to any of the countries.

Largely yes, because nurses spend time on numerous different wards during their training. The requirements of neuro are very different to ICU or A&E, so if you want to work in these areas without having spent any time in them during your training, it will be tough. As it is, nurses spend probably half of their training on wards, so it is very hands on, but there is nonetheless a lot of brain work required also.

Bruce start living on the shop floor in the real world FGS......daily hands on training, is how I learnt my trade - the opperartives I came across with high qualifications only 1 in ten where of any quality the rest on trial I dispatched to another department where their academic qualifications were more suited....

My store is changing opening hours.
No longer 24 hours.
That's not out there yet, but it's coming tonight.
The demand today has gone through the roof.

Are they manufacturing extra toilet rolls due to the stockpilers?

Maybe we could ask if Caprice is free. Show her a few episodes of Casualty, she'll be fine.

Hopefully next time they'll realise that the economy is screwed either way. Complete worldwide lock down on travel apart from repatriation at which point you go into quarantine. Everyone else stays indoors for a month and the job is done, instead of this half in/half out approach which will take at least 6 months if not more to sort.

Airlines and other businesses should have funds to last them x amount of weeks during a crisis like this too. This could end up like the great depression with so many businesses going under/cutting back.

There's nothing wrong with me or the family really. It was their choice to isolate me in the end.

I am aware that one day in the future I may get sick or one of the family do given the climate and at least I've established with work I'm not self isolating due to my own decision right now.
