Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I'd be interested in hearing how this is meant to impact on separated parents. Is it essential to pick kids up for a weekend or week to help the other parent.

For me I'd hate the thought of not seeing my kids, but there will be many wondering are they allowed to travel to get them. My situation made more awkward by the ex being in 2 of the at risk categories so does it jeopardise her health to have the kids in 2 separate houses.. I can see this getting messy for a few families..
 
I think the green keepers will still be able to work.
They are very isolated on the course.
With no golfers they will get more done ,materials allowing.
It’s only places that service the public as far as I can see.

1. It was the BBC I saw.How could I comment on others I didn't see - therefore not knowing if they were there even. If others were there then they needn't have been. Their channels can report on the broadcast without being anywhere near Downing Street.

2. Whatever the P M was going to say, it isn't necessary for the TV channels to have reporters (commenting on him ) to physically be in Downing Street.

Bit of a blow if the PM came out of #10 to take questions from journalists and the rest of the gathered media though - what with Sky reporter standing there and all that...

Suggest you check the media outlets, places like Sports Direct, WH Smith, Building sites all expecting people to work, despite boris saying essential work only, self employed are confused.

For those whose livelihoods are at risk it’s not good! They risk being made redundant or going out of business.

Fully supportive of boris, but things like this need clarifying and can’t simply be dismissed as simply modified a little. ?

Ain't that the truth that bit in bold. Mrs Wolf is a manager at one of Sports Directs gyms, despite the gym being closed since Friday all permanent staff were at work today and are still expected to be at work tomorrow. She got the text from her area manager advising them of this within minutes of the announcement. They literally have nothing to do but are expected to be there 9am-5pm regardless.

I am sure there will be more clarification tomorrow. They have said shops must close except certain key outlets, they have also explained that pubs, clubs etc must close. All will become clear but give them a little time to get the information out. Dont panic! ?
 
Today's thought of the day.

The Virus does not move,
People move it.
We stop moving,
The Virus stops moving.
The virus dies.
It's as simple as that
