"Yes. I'm lucky I know. At the same time, I am a people person. It's what I do, how I am. So I'm going to get antsy and a bit needy for human interaction. " I’m the same. Plus we deal with the elderly over the phone. Some days we are the only people they talk to T is part of a family business & they can’t not work. It’s all a bit of a mess!!! J x | |||

"I work in care and it’s all hands on deck. I might not have a job by the end of the year at this rate. " I really feel for you and all those working in any care/support services jobs. It’s little or no consolation, but I think the period we are about to face will have a huge impact on a lot of small businesses as their staff are forced to isolate, or customers don’t turn up/order services.

Far be it for my team to exacerbate an already unprecedented situation. Better for us all to work from home for now. | |||

"I can - and we'd already be ordered to as much as possible for the last couple of weeks. One of the benefits of working for a multinational. I know I'm one of the fortunate ones, no thanks to that cockwomble shitebag weasel that is in number 10." So covid-19 is now BJ’s fault? How does that work? | |||

I know I'm one of the fortunate ones, no thanks to that cockwomble shitebag weasel that is in number 10. So covid-19 is now BJ’s fault? How does that work?" The pathetic response of not sorting sick pay for self-employed/ zero-contracts, not supporting people to self isolate - that's his fault. Our social welfare state has been destroyed and a lot of people will suffer because of the tory party policies. | |||

"How many of you are able to do this ? D can but I can’t , I’m a support worker so have to go in no matter what unless I get any symptoms of the c word ! " I could if I wanted to. But I'll wait till we get told to isolate and get paid to binge Netflix | |||

"I'm a postie. Special measures in place at the mo. I doubt the postal system will stop through all of this. " We’re both posties too. Our biggest concern is what happens if Boris does announce, as was suggested may happen, that over 60’s and people with health conditions have to stay at home for 12 weeks. As far as we can tell, underlying health conditions means anyone who would normally get an nhs flu jab. As something has asthma that would be me. I’m currently on a stage 2 after being off with flu like symptoms, been back at work a week but not fully recovered and have a lingering cough. If I’m forced to stay home I’m worried I may lose my job | |||

"My daughter works at a SEN school and is really concerned as they have such vulnerable kids there and there’s already a couple of members of staff that have symptoms but not being tested, yet the school is still open ! " I just said on another thread I think they’ll be the first to close. My child’s SEN school has said they’re happy for parents to keep their child off if they want to. A few have done who have kids with health problems. SEN schools can’t stay open if staff go down as a lot have one to one. | |||

What I want to know is would we get paid? Working people can end up losing their homes over this, it's a much bigger problem than just the illness. | |||

Working people can end up losing their homes over this, it's a much bigger problem than just the illness. " Chronic asthmatic here too, and currently blessed with zero immune system following a long illness - just to cover my back, my doctor has issued me an amended work note stating clearly that I should work from home as priority. I've sent a copy to HR, just in case. | |||

As hard as it’s going to be to have them at home I wouldn’t send them if they weren’t well and I wouldn’t if they had underlying health problems either. Although I’m absolutely dreading them shutting!!!! | |||
