National Trust is closing visitor properties on Friday (not parklands/gardens which will remain open for free) but offices will remain open for people who can't do their jobs from home. Apparently people will still get paid but not sure how that works for zero hour contracts yet. If I still has any under me I'd be putting in timesheets for them and hoping nobody checked.

The bit I was quoting says the government guidance to stay at home doesn’t kick in till tomorrow so we expect to see everyone in the office in the morning when further discussions will take place. This has been sent on behalf of the management team, including me.

Danger - Octopus! posted:It'll probably also mean the Tory supporting big pub chain bosses can buy up all the independents and small chains that go down first, because they'll manage to survive with special crony handouts if they hold on long enough. Quoting this because it is the truth. Bigger operators are going to get a state subsidised gold rush for premises as well as their pick of staff, useful for a staff shortage that was looming post Brexit. My employer is going with the idea of it being a bear market for those groups with cash to burn.

This has been sent on behalf of the management team, including me. I made a lateral move out of management into something else in my company at the end of January and I have dodged the mother of all bullets with having to explain to my (former) staff why nobody seems to be doing a loving thing about it. I get to bitch along with the everyone else instead about how all managers are shitbags

I think it's so they're able to buy one or two packs of things then toddle off home before the yummy mummies in their 4x4 chelsea tractors turn up to elbow them out of the way and empty freezers by the car load. (Actually a lot of older people don't have freezers, they have an icebox in the top of their fridge for one packet of peas and some fish fingers) Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Mar 16, 2020 |

It's definitely this, because people are awful dickheads. A part of me wants to see them go collectively loving mental hoarding and start flogging Andrex by the roll out of their little shopping basket things to desperate gammons in the car park.

The store is cleanest and best stocked at this time (and also, honestly, not that busy a lot of the time too) so encouraging people to come in early and keeping snotty kids out is probably a good idea for minimising contact with carriers.

As someone who will be over 60 in the next few weeks, and who will almost certainly called on to help support the occupants of 17 of the flats in this block who are aged well over 70-102, if I'm to self-isolate too (with no symptoms), and with most of my nearby relatives similar age or older than me, who will support us all? Our local town is doing all the right things re facebook groups, those cards offering assistance, and so on, and a lot of those offering are over 60s! Younger people have their own families to worry about.

Ebola Dog posted:My over 60 dad is a doctor and will be right on the frontlines of this, he doesn't really have a choice to try and avoid coming into contact with this. I just hope the hospital won't run out of appellate appropriate ppe. It just makes the government's lack of action to slow the number of cases more worrying for me. Makes me anxious they will run out off beds and then if/when he gets it what'll happen? How they are not rigorously testing the medics providing the front line service. Imagine going to work and just accepting yep, I've got it, but i gave an oath, so I am just continue be a honey pot for the bugs. Not to mention the cleaners and catering staff at the hospitals.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:What's the story about paracetamol and this virus? I've heard about not taking ibuprofen or aspirin or other non-inflammatories and also steroids. But is paracetamol ok? Or maybe it does gently caress up non-asthmatics if they have respiratory problems. Asthma is IIRC an over-reaction of the body's normal respiratory defences. e: Paracetamol is probably fine, it's an antipyretic so will stop your body temperature getting too high. It is also a mild anti inflammatory but not really enough to be a problem. My source on this info is me three or so years ago hospitalising myself by taking nurofen cough & flu.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Ibuprofen and aspirin worsen asthma, and if you have low-level asthma or don't realise you have it (i.e. don't need an inhaler and just get a bit chesty on cold days), it can set it off to the point that you then need inhalers and stuff. If you haven't been diagnosed with it, it would probably enter the statistics as 'also fucks up non asthmatics.' I mentioned steroids on FB and my niece posted that she has to have steroid something or others for her asthma so I said if she thinks she has it, she should try to speak to her GP about what to do.
