I’m just amazed seeing photos from people on Facebook at a local Lewis Capaldi gig. Must have been thousands of people crammed in. I get that the “ban” comes in today, but have some sense.

Waterloo this morning https://twitter.com/PGMcNamara/status/1239461514278588418 People are much more keen to heed the warnings when it involves not going to the office.

Had an online meeting this morning and two of my colleagues are in quarantine with their young kids (they're not known to be infected but have been travelling abroad). It sounds like hell, hope all the parents in this thread are doing alright.

People who went to that gig have definitely caught it and are definitely going to kill someone as a result. Just monumental stupidity because the government can't get people to take this seriously.

I feel bad for going to a wedding in Edinburgh (or to be honest a tiny village outside of Edinburgh) on Thursday/Friday now. I didn't interact closely with anyone other than my own friends (all 30/31) and made sure to wash my hands really well, but I am kind of feeling like a dick for even going considering what is happening now with folks.

Dropping the kids off at school and most parents seem to have their mind up themselves. Deserted. 5 year olds class had maybe 10 kids present out of around 30.

Although I've seen quite a lot of photos of deserted train stations so far today, you'd think there's nothing different at my workplace in a town in the east. On the drive in parents were still double parking to drop off their little angels at school, and the car park was as full as usual. As a manufacturer we still need to work but there's got to be a few more staff here that don't need to be here.

my building (entertainment sector, central london) is staying open as the insurance wont cover loss of income from closure unless the government mandates a lockdown. jokes on them though I'm going to hide in the boiler house and play Switch games.

Who was it in this thread that posted that thing about safety at work and refusing to go in? Feel like that could be useful for anyone making GBS threads themselves about work.

Full attendance in the office apart from a couple of folk self-isolating. Horrible director already shouted at someone for mentioning "bloody coronavirus" - she was actually making arrangements for collecting her children if the schools close, and shouting made her have a breakdown because her mum is 88 and only has one lung, but he doesn't care. Very important question: should I shave my beard off? I really don't want to.

The thing about London is that most of those people that pour through those stations every day actually have completely pointless jobs at the business factory. Everyone can collectively give up the pretence for a while and it doesn't really matter.

Feel like that could be useful for anyone making GBS threads themselves about work. Section 7 of the Health and Safety At Work Act 1974 (HSAWA 1974) places a duty on every employee while at work: a) to take reasonable care for the health and safety of himself and of other persons who may be affected by his acts or omissions at work Section 44 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) protects the employee (with no qualifying service period) from any ‘detriment’: d) in circumstances of danger which the employee reasonably believed to be serious and imminent and which he could not reasonably have been expected to avert, he left (or proposed to leave) or (while the danger persisted) refused to return to his place of work or any dangerous part of his place of work, or e) in circumstances of danger which the employee reasonably believed to be serious and imminent, he took (or proposed to take) appropriate steps to protect himself or other persons from the danger. The Labour Research Department explains: “As long as the employee forms a genuine view of a risk that they reasonably regard as serious and imminent, the fact that the employer disagrees with the seriousness of the risk or the appropriateness of the steps taken is irrelevant.” https://www.rs21.org.uk/2020/03/13/acting-on-covid-19/

That has spread out through the staff and now even people who would normally work from home (including him) are in, so they don't get accused of skiving. Man's a fool.

pumpinglemma posted:If you’re already sick yourself (but asymptomatic) then it makes you less likely to spread it, and it sends a signal to everyone you see that this thing is kind of a big deal. Other than that not really - it’s much more important e.g. to avoid touching your face. Yeah, figured. To be clear, I don't care if I get it/if I already have it - that's my problem - but I did want to ensure that it was best practice in spread control in general. Oddly I actually thought 'maybe if gammons see a young white guy in a mask they might start to take this seriously', so it's nice to know someone else did too

People with kids often talk about how great it is that you can leave early or come in late and you're just trusted to sort it out yourself and let your team know and get your work done. People often work from home just because, and there is a long standing non-formal policy that if you're ill but get your work done from home, we won't record it as sickness. It's just this one guy.

We've got a fresh and topical episode out today! We talk about Corona with an Actual Knowledge Haver so we don't sound nearly as stupid as we normally do and then chat about how Number is doing. Honestly, it's a good one! (Just as an FYI: We recorded last Thursday so our stats are already wildly out of date) https://twitter.com/PraxisCast/status/1239493350719459334?s=20

A topically revised version of the Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag by Country Joe and the Fish would be my personal choice. Schools in Scotland may soon be forced to close because of lack of hot water. The kids, who are alright, have been instructed to wash their hands so regularly that there's none left for the dishes at lunchtime.
