"That is very good news . Hope we follow suit.I wonder if you would get sick pay if you had to self quarentine for 2 weeks" Personally, and no this isn't an "I'm alright Jack" comment, I can work from home easily so self isolation would have less of an impact I think it would hurt more people in service type industries such as retail or teaching or policing or health (ironically) | |||

"so many thinking of themselves rather than the elderly or ill heath ... typical ignorant fuck everyone else types just dont care i guess ...oh until it affects them directly elderly / ill family then they cry wolf the loudest " I'm of ill health. I take no offense or feeling of "fuck everyone else" to those making light of it, it is entirely possible I'll catch it and die. The majority of those joking do so to break the tension, their true life actions (for most not all) will be that of caution, very unlikely they will be going around trying to actively spread it. | |||

"One good thing about this is that companies who insure for staff absence can claim for staff absence due to Corona." I believe that it is an intention, rather than fact, at this time. COVID-19 was declared a notifiable disease in Scotland on 22 February. I suspect that any compensation for staff absence etc. will only become due if a sickness absence is supported by a positive laboratory test for the virus. SS | |||

"Well I work in temporary buildings, warehouses and such like, but the majority of work with events, especially large scale ones? Amongst others I was on the build for Cheltenham Festival in which our role finished a few weeks ago. So far there's been 30% cancellations at local hotels and today the organisers are having a meeting about whether the thing can go ahead at all. Given that the majority of of our work is geared around large groups of people willing to meet in one place, I fear the worst for this year work-wise tbf. It won't be so much a fortnight on the sick, but the huge majority of 6 months with precious little income that may become a very real possibility.
B"Ironically enough I have no fears about the virus itself proving to be greatly damaging to me personally, if my immune system can knock whooping cough on the head a couple of weeks after birth when born 2 1/2 months premature I have little qualms about it being able to deal with this should I catch it. However the wider possibilities of quarantines and separation knocking my income down by about 20 grand plus to precious little over the April to October period alone...Yes I worry about that more than a tad.

Thought the point of insurance is about both parties taking the risk, those who provide, risk paying out and those who buy risk paying without using. There are those who risk choosing not to have insurance too. It's all russian roulette anyway. | |||

"Statuary sick pay is only £94.25 per week. This is a pittance and will cause some p[people into debt, especially those on agency books, who are notorious for paying the lowest wages possible. Those fortunate enough to have proper jobs and employers who care about these things, will get full pay, whilst being sick, won't have to sacrifice any holiday entitlement to make ends meet." Only if they earn in excess of £180 per week before tax. Not if they are self employed or on a zero hour contract. Boris did say that it would be from day 1 rather than after the usual statutory period. | |||

"I heard that Corona has been added to the list of notifiable diseases. One good thing about this is that companies who insure for staff absence can claim for staff absence due to Corona. Some good news at last Good news for who? certainly not for the insurance companies who will face substantial payouts if you predictions come true, and certainly not for Joe public who will be faced with vastly increased premiums across the board as the Insurance companies claw back what they have paid out. They will do but people need the assurance that they will receive some money if they are self isolating Lest many may have no choice but to carry on and possibly spread it further.. Human nature and not at its best Or lose business etc, some people are on crap wages and are struggling weekly to get by.. Working people should not need to access food banks but that's another topic.. " Yes that is another topic | |||

"so many thinking of themselves rather than the elderly or ill heath ... typical ignorant fuck everyone else types just dont care i guess ...oh until it affects them directly elderly / ill family then they cry wolf the loudest I'm of ill health. I take no offense or feeling of "fuck everyone else" to those making light of it, it is entirely possible I'll catch it and die. The majority of those joking do so to break the tension, their true life actions (for most not all) will be that of caution, very unlikely they will be going around trying to actively spread it. " I won't lie, I kid about it. Partially due to me working in retail which is really high risk with cash etc being so contaminated. N works in a nursery too, so we are both in the firing line should it get too out of hand. | |||

"Statuary sick pay is only £94.25 per week. This is a pittance and will cause some p[people into debt, especially those on agency books, who are notorious for paying the lowest wages possible. Those fortunate enough to have proper jobs and employers who care about these things, will get full pay, whilst being sick, won't have to sacrifice any holiday entitlement to make ends meet."

That's positivity that borders on foolishness. People who have accused me of having an (agenda) to cause panic should realise I have no intention of having a whole swinging club to myself because of a panic I have supposedly caused. So what agenda? I work from home. I'm fit (according to some ladies on fab) and low risk. I have no elderly relatives. But I do care about those who aren't in my fortunate position and when the time comes I will help. This a time when we pull together as a nation, show our strength and compassion. | |||

"Has anyone seen the articles about the Dean Koontz book from 1981 which pretty much predicted this?! Is scarily accurate! " To be fair accurate is a push. The first edition of the book it was based in Russia, in 1989 it was changed to wuhan (cold War reasons) in a re-release. All Russian references were changed to wuhan (or outside of it) and China in 1989. It was changed to wuhan by circumstance. The book virus also kills within 24 hours with 100% chance of death. One of the symptoms “toxin that literally eats away brain tissue” causing loss of control of bodily function. “The victim simply ceases to have a pulse, functioning organs, or any urge to breathe“. A prediction book in 2008 actually predicted this however. Well it predicted a respiratory virus in 2020. People are wrongly using the 2 as the same prediction. | |||

"That's exactly the point, telling fully conscious people to wake up is patronising. It's basically calling everybody thick or implying you are somehow more enlightened than the rest of us. Fair enough if you didn't realise that's how it came across." As you are enlightened then I am sure your opinion carries more weight than my humble opinion.. | |||

I check the WHO and other websites for current advice and see if currently I need to do any differently. So far .. no. Ive prepared a little in case of mass panic... made sure i have a few extra packets or tins of thing's. But above that.. no.
Its very patronising and condesending to be told to wake up.. when im very upto date with thing's.
Biggest way its impacted me so far is the Delay of the new Bond movie
I’m not panicking. And I haven’t patronised anyone.
I have commented above what I do think and where I find my info.
And I have never knowingly patronised anybody either..
And yet you keep using your go to phrase “wake up people”
Yes.. it's my phrase...
Wake Up Peoples..
Patronising to some? Maybe
A rallying call to some? Maybe
A wake up call some? Maybe
Take it as you like ...but
Wake Up Peoples...
My Words.. If no like then it's not the thread for you..

"Has anyone seen the articles about the Dean Koontz book from 1981 which pretty much predicted this?! Is scarily accurate! To be fair accurate is a push. The first edition of the book it was based in Russia, in 1989 it was changed to wuhan (cold War reasons) in a re-release. All Russian references were changed to wuhan (or outside of it) and China in 1989. It was changed to wuhan by circumstance. The book virus also kills within 24 hours with 100% chance of death. One of the symptoms “toxin that literally eats away brain tissue” causing loss of control of bodily function. “The victim simply ceases to have a pulse, functioning organs, or any urge to breathe“. A prediction book in 2008 actually predicted this however. Well it predicted a respiratory virus in 2020. People are wrongly using the 2 as the same prediction. " I’ve only read the pages shown in the articles I’ve read so I completely get what you’re saying! My comment was based on what I read which was very little so fair point! | |||

"That's exactly the point, telling fully conscious people to wake up is patronising. It's basically calling everybody thick or implying you are somehow more enlightened than the rest of us. Fair enough if you didn't realise that's how it came across. As you are enlightened then I am sure your opinion carries more weight than my humble opinion.. " Never said that Tom. I, on the other hand am not telling people to 'wake up' every 5 minutes... | |||

Wake up Tom.. Engage with your own threads..
So what do you mean by people unite then Tom?
People need to unite in thought and demand more information.. They government will spoon feed to keep itself in power, put wealth above health and keep votes and stay popular...
Well whilst I agree with some of that, as that's politics and power etc I would ask what other information do you think is being witheld?
I will tell you exactly.. whole towns in other countries such as China and Italy have been isolated and put in isolation or quarantine..
My question is who will enforce it and what powers will they have .. will a person fleeing a quarantined town be shot.. ?"Tom I think a real danger of situations like this is outbreaks of looting. We had it here a few years ago and there wasn't even anything substantial behind it. | |||

Bloody hysterical these governing bodies.. "How is your patronising rant about the perfectly sensible cancellation of mass events in anyway related? You’re the one that postulated a person might be shot. You just like stirring things up I think. | |||

You just like stirring things up I think. "Why some events cancelled and not others.. government seem to be leaving it to governing bodies and not central policy.. so cancel the London Book Fair but not Cheltenham Races... Really? The government are trying not to be popular.. They will let cases escalate before stepping in.. wealth before health | |||

Simple question really..
Or will all citizens comply..
Please tell me .."Tom for someone who tries to give the impression you know things you seem either grossly naive or don't know.. The police already have powers to carry out certain actions if deemed necessary, in such times as may be coming the government of the day will pass emergency legislation.. As for whom will and won't comply, who knows.. Would you rather infected people are allowed to leave a cordoned area or quarantine and spread further this virus which you have been saying is serious? | |||
