Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Well, what a day, positive cases confirmed on rig, one person who I directly work with, getting off tomorrow to self isolate in a hotel, if I haven’t got it, it will be a miracle.

Hoping for the best for you and the person/anyone else who already has it.

Must be worrying times.

This is an interesting article and gives credence to the effect quick bulk testing alongside contact tracing (NHS app) can help slow the virus down and return us to a semblance of normality.
Our family structures of living apart from our elderly relatives (as a general rule) compared to countries like Spain and Italy my also be helping us in flattening the curve.
 
I should read up on this.. but haven’t yet. But how is mass testing (on its own) going to slow/unlock this puzzle? I am assuming it is testing followed by isolation rather than testing-testing

Unfortunately the antibody tests are not as reliable as the makers suggest. Deploying those would be a disaster

Great stuff lads.
My mum always said to me “ if you are able to help someone then just do it”
Have always remembered that.
Hope this helps her.
Mine is the same with the grandkids, and your right FaceTime just seems to make it worse.
Think she can see what she’s missing.

I get the lockdown may get worse, I get we are being asked to do our bit, then why are we still allowing Planes full of people to arrive in this Country from all over the World unchecked.:mad:

Even the ones bringing our own back are not being checked properly and are being advised to self isolate for 2 weeks, surely any passengers, from arriving from overseas, should be tested either before they depart or here before they leave the airport.

A lot of these people could easily be leaving the airports on public transport and spreading this!:mad:

Showing some mild symptoms, wheezy cough mainly, we are supposed to be getting tested (privately).
Had 5 people airlifted on the ‘Corona’ helicopter now.
We are down manning to essential personnel only.
 
Swings and Roundabouts today, we have been told the client will not be accepting Covid-19 as a reason for the job to be delayed. (Local council!) so I’ve had to get the lads in....but we have also found that the 24Hr Beigel Shop in Brick Lane is open! Happy days!?
