Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Apprently one of our neighbours granddaughter has it. She's only young (19 maybe) works in Reading Berks Hosp. She lives with her nan so they have had to isolate themselves. Seen the ambulance here 4 times so far inside 2 days. I hope them the best. Hopefully its nothing too serious

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Good news mate. From what my brother and wife have said (1 recovered, the other recovering) it seems to be fairly short lived, but harsh on the body. Fingers crossed your on the way to recovery.Perkles wrote:got up and about yesterday although slept a lot and generally felt better but this morning it feels like somebody has taken a rasp to my lungs

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
I'm off out this morning to furlough one company's workers.
I have no idea how long the Country or indeed the World can sustain paying the majority of its working population. I would guess three months at most if they want there to be any jobs to come back too.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
I think we're heading the same way at work. It's dead. All of the assistants I've spoken to have said the same thing. We've got nothing to do. Our experts aren't seeing anyone, the Court have issued 2 months extensions to timetables, we can't do any investigations. It seems like most of the partners are hoarding the work for themselves.

I'm just a little disappointed to find out I'm not actually that important

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
If I'm furloughed as well I'll speak to the bank and take a 3 month mortgage holiday
Then use the money as a deposit on a new bike

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
I would love to get out on the bikes. I don't think it's worth it though. Which is a shame when the roads are empty
