Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Nymzee]

the media scaremongering has finally cracked me

Serious question if I drive down to my local hospital and request to be tested will they test me or arrest me?

Christ I've been gone 2 days and you've done a complete 180.

Never change.

In seriousness: if you have symptoms do not go into your hospital. They've told us many times the steps to follow.

I'm pretty sure that's what it is, but don't have a choice really... Working from home with a 1 year old and 3 year old will work really well I think

I did it for a few years Neil. You’ll have to spread the day out and work into the evening if you can, as there’s no way they’ll leave you alone all day !

Got 12 weeks off work because I’m at risk with my asthma.

Can’t quite believe it. Luckily for me it’s fully paid.

Labour costs are the main cost for many businesses. I think we may need stipulations on how the money is spent.

Theres no easy answers and theres gonna be businesses which cant carry on. But this is a decent start imo.

There were some decent measures in the package, but if they’re thinking that offering loans to cover payrolls for a few months is going to stop mass layoffs, then they’re deluded. They'll need to to do more in this area to support both employers and their staff. Just offering us further debt isn’t enough.

That’s me, the wife (a nurse) and kids in quarantine now. She and kids all have coughs. If the NHS were testing staff they could determine if she has it or not and get her back in work after a few days (time it takes for test results). But because they ain’t it’s 14 days now. Amateurs.

I don't think you can buy self-testing kits. Just follow the steps that have been drummed into us every day by the goverment.

You know what we could do group of Mr and Mrs MP's? Take some of your exorbitant wages off you to help the poor.

Fingers crossed and a holiday over here.

If serious...

Answer the questions and then do what it says. The NHS has enough on it's plate without people rocking up asking to be tested.
