    That was sort of my thoughts on my first post on this thread. Huge numbers of companies wouldn't survive 6 months of this: not just your local Dog n' Duck, but national chains. Anyone not working in food retailing or medicine basically.

    I'm interested in what the benefit claimant figures will be soon. It was 1.6m before this I think (from memory), but I can see it getting above 10m or more. And with a much smaller tax-base, you wonder where the cash for these benefits is coming from.

    A prolonged virus lockdown will break entire national economies.

    Maybe it IS time for the experts to factor this in and think if there is a way those of us who aren't over 70 or with underlying health issues can all live as normal while keeping strict isolation for those that are. It'll spread, we'll take our chances, but then it'll peak and eventually those isolating can emerge to a world that might look a bit similar.

    It's clear from the large numbers who think they have the disease but haven't been tested (I know of three in Bristol alone) that the genie is out the bottle. Containment has failed. Providing it stays with the healthy and young(ish) population, the NHS may not have to be overwhelmed.

    Is this mad? Thoughts?

    Far to sensible for any politician to understand

  2. Flashing Blue
    On the panel I see the lights that are lit.
    The process step is under my control.
    I keep an eye on the computer's analyzes.
    Here, uncertainty has played its part.
     
    The control flashes blue, a signal for the safe.
    The control flashes blue, then everything is fine.
    If the screen is normal, there is no reason to hesitate.
    When the control flashes blue, then everything is fine.
     
    But in the quiet hours of the night I have wondered,
    What happens where technology doesn't see,
    What is hiding in the shadow of the Tuja trees.
    And I feel the anxiety growing more and more.

    But there are questions the computer cannot answer.
    Signals I cannot understand.
    There is so much we cannot explain.
    There are forces we can never use.

    I’m not a doctor, however if you were only with this guy yesterday and he’s now been told to go into isolation and you started getting symptoms this morning, then that’s not a long enough incubation period for your sore throat to have anything to do with your manager. Your best bet is to phone 111 and ask for their advice.

     

    I'm a Doctor when flying. Always been well treated.

    As there is no doctors degree in football someone need to fill the gap.

    Was in Manchester working for a few days, this morning a few of us felt a bit rough with sore throat and high temperatures, we just put it down to a late night last night. 

    We found out one of the managers we were with yesterday has been told to go into self isolation after phoning 111.

    Obviously this is reported to senior management, we then get a message saying we've all got to get off of the premises as soon as possible and work from home until further notice. 

    Typically I was all over the UK next week at meetings so I need to cancel everything. 

    Now stood on the train back from Manchester to Bristol in the vestibule area as don't want to risk passing anything on

    Am sure it's just a head cold but feel rough

    Try to be at work 6 a.m, don't take a coffee break and head home lunchtime passing Systembolaget
