Re the Hospital this Consultant works at. Certain (poss all?) Covid 19 front-line staff have had their standard 12 hour shifts extended to 13hrs, and they're being required to shower before going home (1 shower for a team). Update releases from this Foundation Trust https://www.fhft.nhs.uk/news/ |

This letter was co-ordinated by the Doctors’ Association UK who advocate for frontline doctors. As of Sunday 22nd March the letter had garnered 6300 signatures. Sobering indeed...……….. https://www.dauk.org/news/sundaytimeslettertoborisjohnsonppe |

Yes. I think we will go into total lockdown on Thursday with only key workers being allowed out of their homes. Same for petrol stations. Only fuel will go to key workers. I think the stress on elderly lives being at risk has made other age groups complacent. Hopefully, now we are getting more news items about younger people ending up on ventilators, they will take this virus more seriously. There is a call for people to show their appreciation for health workers on the 26th March at 8pm. See pic below. Personally I think all key workers would prefer we left food on the shelves in supermarkets, so when they eventually get there after long shifts, they can at least put together a reasonable shop. Still a nice gesture though. Hope all on Manky and their families are well and stay well. JJ  |

Well that's it then -Boris has just announced a total lock-down for "at least 3 weeks".
Essential workers only allowed to go to work, (I'm assuming that includes me as a Postman, although I think I'm phoning in sick tomorrow morning -I've had a persistent phlegmy cough for about a week & have now lost my voice, but no fever or aching muscles etc).
One person per car allowed to shop for food or medical supplies as infrequently as possible.
No social gathering at all.
It's going to be a l-o-n-g Summer.
Keep safe everybody. x

things are just as crazy over here in aus , states closing borders and if you do have to its 14 isolation and fill in a arrivals form with where you are staying . they are also talking about tracking mobile phones so they know if you leave before the 14 days . super markets are just getting back to having most things on the shelf but toilet rolls  worst case for us we are headed into winter  |

Yeah. It’s done nothing but rain and now lockdowns happening it’s gonna be a blessing heatwave.
Unsure if my work will close as we can’t work from home, so I guess I’ll be able to get out on the bike to and from work still

Such a weird time. My 94 year old landlady lived through the 2nd World War & says it was nothing like this. There was rationing but at least you could still go out & go about your life.
I've just phoned in sick to work. I'm on holiday for 2 weeks after this week anyway, so won't be back at work until mid April.
I'm wondering if I can get away with still going to my garage as I drive straight there, see no-one while I'm there & drive straight back.

Have been told by a front-line NHS nurse working with Covid-19 patients, that they were advised "to do a will" !
Think on...………..

Just been listening to the World Health Organisation press briefing.
It took 67 days for the first 100,000 cases to appear.
11 days for the next 100,000.
4 for the next.
That's scary.

Yeah, after spending the whole day indoors today, I definitely need to get out tomorrow, even if it is just for a walk. I'm no athlete, but usually walk around 10 miles a day at work. If I'm off for the next 3 weeks, (1 week sick, plus 2 annual holiday), I'm going to feel so stodgy I won't want to go back.
