Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Much as I've been busy at work, I have really enjoyed being able to carry on working and talk to different people every day and have a joke and a chat. Really feel for those at home, particularly the old. Funny enough I am actually dreading the weekends now and being stuck inside for two days (bar a short walk)

I've got 2 weeks off coming up

I've told my boss put me down for any shift of overtime he can't cover with someone else. The thought of being inside lol just no

Funny how we see work as a necessary evil, and many are probably not overly happy their jobs, but given the chance to go out still (as a key worker obviously) and interact makes such a difference
 
On furlough. It's ok. Can't complain really. Wife working from home. Yep, it gets inconvenient but it is what it is. Get out for a walk at lunch time, and try to get a quick cycle ride in too. All from home. Do a bit of gardening every now and then.

Need to jet wash the patio next week, and clean the windows.

You did the right thing imo.
Mental health is vital atm.
It’s hard for the kids to understand what’s going on.
You need to stop her watching Piers Morgan!
It’s people who drive their dogs miles to go for a walk I don’t get!

What don’t you get about people driving their dogs for a walk?

Have to admit. I love my job, get on with my colleagues and just enjoy playing with a giant train set whilst problem solving lol
 
Good unscripted briefing by Matt Hancock earlier I thought. Whether or not much was of any comfort I'm not so sure - but at least I got the impression that he knew what he was talking about and had authority to speak and answer questions - which he did.

I can imagine how much fun that would be. Perhaps not so much when the network isn't having a good day and the signals aren't playing ball

Well those days are some of the most fun, problem solving and the shift flies by in no time.

No good for the public though

Is that the same Matt Hancock you criticised up hill and down dale just over a week ago? ;)If it was, maybe he wasn't too well back then.:unsure:

Conclusion jumped to?;)

Maybe his exposure to the virus has changed his thinking...enabled him to speak straight - or maybe it was more to do with him comparing very favourably against those who have done briefings this week before his return - Raab, Gove and Sharma - did Jenrick do one also. Perhaps also a week ago I was finding Hunt and Sinai more convincing than Hancock.

Hancock did fine today.
