To be fair, this is pretty much what they have to say if they are going to lock down. Otherwise you get what happened in Italy where it leaks and everyone goes on a wild adventure to spread it as far as possible before lockdown happens.

just had to explain to my manager that inviting all the healthy employees still in the office into her room to discuss strategy maybe isn't a good idea.

Just emailed one of my local schools to offer to help out 1 or 2 days a week if they need me as I have enhanced DBS already.

TheRat posted:I had some serious issues getting a setup where my cat wouldnt jump on top of my laptop in the middle of a work call. Ended up having to take the laptop to bed so the cat can sleep next to me while I work. I've seen before some arrangements where you have something like a trolley with a cushion on top right by your workstation so kitty can be next to you while you work? Can't find any photos just now.

Carbon emissions are decreasing, sporting events are being cancelled, primetime TV is ceasing production, old people are dying, OnlyFans subscriptions are rocketing up, and staying indoors is explicitly encouraged. Crisis, what crisis?

Communist Thoughts posted:It's also dumb as hell, young people who get it die too, especially when the health system is scuppered and those who dont can be permanently damaged. Youngest UK victim is 45 and had been given 2 years to live 2 years ago so was certainly already at risk. There's a handful of younger deaths world wide.

Why is everywhere making plans based on it staying as it is right now when everyone knows it's going to be changing rapidly! We are waiting to find out if we will be able to qualify as physiotherapists this summer as planned, it's not looking good since we haven't done all our placement hours and emergency plans are only for final years who have

It's hard to find figures but estimates are as high as 20% of hospital admissions are <40. They have a better prognosis because they're more likely to receive priority treatment over an old person. It's bad news because firstly they're essentially damning an older/weaker person by taking their potential bed and secondly a lot of that 20% aren't going to have a good outcome if the beds run out altogether. It does not 'only' affect old people, they're just the weakest demographic and therefore the most obviously in trouble.

The place I work at is staying open. They've got rid of all of the casual staff, they're going to fire some of the permanent full-time staff, they haven't announced who yet. I don't know whether it's better to be fired right now so I can self-isolate, or stay working so I can pay the bills

Communist Thoughts posted:Pardon me but this is psycho poo poo. Young people can die of it too, but it's much less likely. The way the numbers work is that if you get a critical case you have a 50% chance of dying regardless of age, but the older you get the more likely you get a critical case. And yes, Theresa May is high risk, being both over 60 and diabetic. Doctors are probably already fighting over who gets to triage her to the back of the queue if she's infected.

My team can't do absolutely everything from home, but as of Monday we're working from home with Slack set up so we can chat, with one designated day for us to go into the office if anything needs it (there's only a few of us, so it's better than nothing). Of course that will probably change once things really kick off.

Bojo just throws another basic science phrase at the illiterate journalists and they all assume its already happening cause he said it. I even saw one paper framing it as if it had been invented by Britain and bojo and was some miraculous new discovery. I held my head and got so angry my chest hurt

FFS. Just back from a meeting with my manager. He had previously offered me two weeks off with pay, as I'm recuperating from a bout of CFS. Apparently this has changed and I'm only getting SSP. I said to him that I never would have agreed to the time off if that had been the case. Things got heated but in the end I said, if i'm not off with full pay I'd rather do my shifts (almost impossible as our opening hours have been slashed, not to mention absolutely no foot traffic thru the store) I stupidly did not get this in writing. I'm absolutely sure that the General Manager does not know about this. What on earth can I do here?? I'm furious lol

Is anybody else's short-term memory completely hosed right now? I can't remember how many days I've been working from home for, I keep having to check what day of the week it is etc. Is there a term for this? I guess it's just generalised anxiety/trauma, and a consequence of my adrenaline being through the roof with the work I'm doing. I'm finding it really hard to just slow my brain down, so I guess it's a result of that...

I can't remember how many days I've been working from home for, I keep having to check what day of the week it is etc. This was my experience after several months of unemployment. You really do start losing track of time. I found it helpful to set a firm routine for what you're doing (other than work) on a given day, so you can keep track a bit better.
