Ronnie Sinclair Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 today my office has started provisions for people working from home - already they've got pregnant women and people with existing health conditions working from home, I think this will be rolled out to others soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest are waiting on feedback from an EFL investigation into circumstances. Reports state that he met players and staff on the day. Why is there little point self isolating after contact? The point is to stop it spreading Sorry, I wasn't clear. I said no point is self isolating days after the contact. Of course isolate after the contact, but what I meant was that if you know you've had contact, you need to begin your isolation straight away, not wait til the middle of next week! I'm just hoping we'll know about our game at Forest sooner rather than later. The Forest players, if they need to self isolate, will need to do so soon, so we should know today hopefully.

We started preparing our teams last week but most people are still in the office at the moment.

redsince1994 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just had a suspected case in one of the offices I work in, meaning I have to self-isolate. Slight issue is that I haven't been in that office for weeks and have had no contact with anyone who has. Still got to follow company policy I suppose.

Don’t they have older relatives ? For me it’s really confirmed what I had feared about society , that it’s become selfish in a way that it’s never been before.

And Its Smith Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I’ve been ill the last two days. Typical flu symptoms not COV19 symptoms. I’m not getting pressure from my family to go to get tested. Surely if everyone who feels poorly goes to get tested that would not help the NHS strain? I’m saying no I will just stay in bed for 48 hours until I feel better. Am I wrong?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What credible info is there that 70 flights from a quarantined area of Italy landed in the uk and the passengers were not screened. If you have this info please share it for clarification. A friend just came Monday from a mediterranean cruise, including parts of Italy that are now locked down (albeit there end of Feb before lockdown). No screening, no tests (and he actually has a cough, though he had it before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always better to be safe than sorry, the NHS would rather you added an extra call to the call volume but got checked out rather than inadvertently spread it. Questionnaire is pretty good though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fact im quite young and pretty fit I do feel like death, and I'd rather not give anything to someone who would seriously suffer with it. I was told I'm not going to be screened because (despite showing all symptoms) I haven't been abroad at all, which puts paid to any idea I had of remaining NHS sensibility. There's 2 other people in buildings within 200yds of me also under isolation so I'm shit scared. Hope you're OK mate - take the very best of care - you can rely on OTIB to cheer you up if you get desperate! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
