Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Tashyboy said:
This is our problem wolf, having checked the Gov sites every day for advice it does not say you have to self isolate. Only from countries that have been affected. And so far Mexico is not one of those countries. If someone has a link we would be chuffed to read it. The situation has massively changed in the UK over the last 24 hrs, so we have to change with it. It is something we know we will have to do. For the record we flew to Mexico, a country the FCO said was safe to travel to, not Wuhan or Northern Italy. The antics of people in the UK enforced the lock down..not the people on the plane I will.be travelling ho.e on

Pretty sure the advice was not to travel anywhere unless it was urgent. Also to be honest I'd get out as soon as possible as evidence from literally every country in the world shows that things escalate quickly https://www.npr.org/sections/corona...t-has-done-too-little-too-lat?t=1585063264640

"Does not say you have to self isolate..." Remind me of your post where you said you couldn't play golf because there were 250 cases of it in that town...if it was that close...

You're relying on when someone says you can't when you already know what you've left behind you in Mexico. Can't think for yourself?

As already been stated the advice was don't travel unless you had to. Do you know everyone you're coming into contact with there, on flight back, at the airport upon your return is free from Covid19 and not putting you at risk of carrying it to. Of course you don't, therefore upon return rather than risking the health of your grandchildren you should be isolating away from them until you know you're clear. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.

You knew before you went what was happening but carried on regardless even when telling us there were confirmed cases near where you are and continued to spout tripe about how we back here should stop moving about.
 
I think maybe we could all stop hammering Tashy now? I have to be honest if we had invested money in a holiday and the airline didn't cancel it for us, I'd have had a hard time deciding what to do, and probably leaned on the side of going and avoiding the tug-of-war around getting a refund and so on.

Tashy maybe don't comment on people's movements anymore as you're going to get jumped on every time. :LOL:

Four days ago FCo said you all should return on the next available flight.

The government advice in 2016 was to vote remain. How many followed that advice? All of a sudden the government advice is gospel.

I’d imagine you won’t be landing at home and then mingling with the nation. The airports and government were allowing travel at the time of departure. You’ve done nothing wrong. It’s a certainty that most of these lot have done some unnecessary travel the past two weeks.
Some of us would of got on the plane with you had we had it booked!
 
Info I recd from the FCO's email today...

"As countries respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel and border restrictions, the FCO advises British nationals against all but essential international travel. Any country or area may restrict travel without notice. If you live in the UK and are currently travelling abroad, you are strongly advised to return now, where and while there are still commercial routes available. Many airlines are suspending flights and many airports are closing, preventing flights from leaving.

Shopped last Thursday. Last night; fever, dry throat and cough. Threw up about 2:30am. Feel like crap this morning, still with a fever. Chest feels like it stinging inside, front and back. Here's hoping its just a cold... a bit anxious to say the least.

Sorry to hear that Brian. Here's hoping it's not. Stay safe
 
Well that's us a wee bit buggered. Just had confirmation can't start new permanent job until this blows over and fact my contracts have ended with last employer leaves me with no income after(if) I receive my last payment from them in 2 weeks, plus the fact Mrs Wolf has not even been told if they're getting the 80% allowance from Mike Ashley's company means we will be struggling for while and eating up that little bit of savings we have left. At least the suns out ??‍♂️

Tbh I think he forgets what he posts previously, if you get really, really bored, have a look back on this thread were he informed us all about chatting to his mate in Italy and how bad it was there, how they’d gone in to lockdown and how we were 2 weeks behind Italy and were we’d end up, now he’s blaming Skegness, despite his own warnings!!!

He’s also posted about his mam ignoring his warnings and going to the allotments! I agree he’s been robustly replied to, but his defence in all this is certainly not lack of awareness or possibility of what might/did happen.

1, Yes but email received today was all new recruitment including new starters with contracts put on hold subject to new contractual starting dates tbc because of Covid-19. Job was working for MOD site nearby. So I may have a shot at getting something but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. Especially as I cannot get hold of anyone dealing with the contract directly as a result of this poxy virus.

2, she should but as per the SD thread they've been told they as a company haven't even discussed the possibility of it yet and may not have an answer for some time.

Uncertain times at moment however I'll have to just see if tesco need shelf stacker ?

Granted he doesn't help himself. :LOL:
 
The time for speaking gently to people like Tashy is over. We had they chance last week. I wouldn’t hesitate to speak brutally to loved ones at this stage if they didn’t adhere to the basics.
 
Government advice on the construction industry - a work in progress methinks, nobody seems to have a clue what the advice actually is. Gove's replies to questions on it this morning seems to have caused confusion.

Disappointed that still no further information on support to the self-employed and those with zero hours contracts. My son tells me that his zero hours contract employer has told him that the guidance for the company on what to do for him is still not there. He'll do what he can for my son - but as yet he doesn't know what he has to do.

Incredible and heartening the news that a two ward - 4000 bed hospital - The Nightingale Hospital - is buying built in the ExCel Centre in London and will be up and running in a couple of days...
