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
When me and missis T get back we know we have kids for a minimum 3 weeks. Both parents.coppers. we have to tell them. If there with is theres no visits. Gonna really upset mum.
 
Lets say you sleep for 8 hours
Lets say you work for 8 hours (in some non-essential area but your company hasn't closed because its not mandated)
Lets say you commute for 2 hours
Lets say you exercise/walk the dug for an hour
Lets say you shop for 2 hours

So your 'lockdown' lasts for 4 hours a day.... that's brutal guys, stay strong and you'll have it beat in no time!

Hmm. You've only been in lock down for 3 days now & seems your brain has already turned to mush? ? What hope for the rest of us?

(Or do you have different length days over there? ?)
 
Got to keep some kind of routine for this keep the house moving.

Days of non work for me are normal until 9am when we would normally go out

Instead me the wife and the daughter take the dog for a small slow walk round the block

Come home. Crafts for little lady. Bit of lunch for her. Nap time

After nap she gets 30 mins in garden

Dinner bath bed

Netflix for us .

This is going to be a long few months however I'm grateful it's only boredham we are dealing with
 
HID works in a school so classed as a key worked and I work in the NHS. HID gives me a lift to work, then drives straight to her place of work. Assuming this is still permitted under the new guidelines as we have both been told to work at the place of work going forward. Not sure what happens if we get stopped. I am considering asking for a letter from my ICU consultant and the ICU Lead nurse to say my presence is currently required and getting HID to get one from the head teacher as well. Other than that for us it's business as usual and go home after the working day and stay inside until we need to go to work again. One shopping trip per week and after that inside and staying so

I’m sure your work badges will suffice as evidence of the need to travel and both will have your pictures on them so identity will be established
 
HID said the school term ends in 2 weeks and then she is going off on holiday and I have to sort out the child care ... ! That’s after 1 day of home schooling!!

Did you guys get a letter for schools? Our MD sent out an email for all staff to show schools to say we are key workers

Printed off and in car .. staff pass always in my bag aswell

Homer - I think your ICU Consultant and ICU Lead Nurse probably have more important things to worry about at the moment!?

As CR said, IF you were to be stopped by the police (and fair play if you were - they'd be doing their job) your work IDs will be fine.
 
There are a load of stats around, here's another one for those who haven't already seen it

It took:
  • 67 days from the first reported case of coronavirus to reach the first 100,000 cases
  • 11 days for the second 100,000 cases
  • Just four days for the third 100,000 cases

More numbers for you...........
Number of virus deaths in the UK for the last 7 days
17th.........16
18th .........33
19th..........40
20th..........33
21st...........56
22nd..........48
23rd...........54
