Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Having been out on my exercise allowance it was great to see the boys in blue sat in the normal dog walker lay-by near the beach and seeing cars hastily switching off their indicators. On the minus side, seeing both bobbys sat in the front was a bit of a mistake.

Were they guarding against doggers?
 
Being an alleged key worker, id like see supermarkets only open to us bar one day.
So many families shopping in groups and couples when it’s not necessary. Only Peeved because I’ve been to Asda on the way to work and the queue is massive, and I hate people, I’m selfish, and it appears we all have a disdain for anybody outside at all just lately!
 
I'm quite enjoying the lockdown life ATM

Up at 6

Cbeebies until 07:40 then it's breakfast for the household

All get dressed .. 10:00-10:30 little dog walk with the little lady

Come back for some crafts or TV .. lunch at 12:00

Little lady has a nap 13:00-15:00 well she doesn't nap these days

Garden play time .. her dinner then bath and bed

Netflix for us

Tonight I'll add head to work for my night shift

Little routines keep you going.
 
We're running out of supplies so its a shopping trip tomorrow, I hate shopping at the best of times.
Annoying thing is there's local groups willing to get our shopping, but the wife says they wont pick the correct things :mad:

Day 15 for some..…...and we are fine.
Coping well with the help of family friends and community.

It is at times like this when I recall my old bosses words when I first started working in Local Authority.

'99% of the public are great, best to ignore or have as little as possible to do with the 1%'

Whit?

What experts are not to be trusted? What hidden agendas? What conspiracy theories?

Who has to be ashamed?

I take that comment as referring to some prominent Politicians referring to economics experts, undermining them and labelling them 'Establishment' and 'not of the people' so not be be listened to, populist crapola basically, I'll leave names out of it as it's water under the bridge now and there are other threads about it. You can't tell folks to ignore experts one minute then listen to their every word as gospel the next, just to suit. That is what the Govt are doing however.

How long ago was that as I can guarantee that demographic has changes considerably!

Probably more like 60/40 these days.
 
Everyone please get tested !!!

The UK is taking the coronavirus seriously:

New testing is now being conducted without the need to leave your house, so no hospital visit necessary.

All you have to do is mail your stool sample to:

Testing Health - Faecal Covid (THFC)
White Hart Lane
Tottenham
London

ADDED NOTE:
Large samples give a more accurate result ??

Not sure why you would listen to an economic expert rather than a medically trained expert in a time line this. Shows how stupid the public are then and further backs my point.

Thanks for clearing that up as I've not seen that in any other thread. Makes things easier instead of accusing people of being on the wind up.

Agreed but that is a societal problem. We live in a must have everything and have it now, I'm as guilty as the next. This is going to be a real wake up world that the world probably needed.
 
My 81 year old mum is the worry.... she is partially disabled and the self isolation bit is doing her head in. Video calling her every day and sometimes several times a day, but it isn't doing very much good. A neighbour of hers of similar age insists on going out shopping everyday as "she's too old to care."
I can't see any decent outcome here at all
