Corona Virus Treatment

Self isolating and lock down time
Original time was three weeks, they knew it was longer but did not want to cause panic

Seek and ye shall find
Mortgage holiday 12 weeks
MOT suspended 12 weeks
Credit card zero interest 12 weeks
Wee Jimmy Krankie "I can not see the peak in the next few weeks it will be longer

 

I hope this helps, after a week of trying to get an online food delivery, I managed to get one from Iceland. Ok there are a few items not available.

 

Where have you heard it's going to be longer @Jack McHammocklashing ?

 

3rd week working from home is over

The positives so far:
Incredible sense of community within and across teams at work, "That's not my responsibilty" "Sorry, I don't have the capacity to do help" "I'll connect with your management on that" have disappeared. It's just Us, humans and colleagues trying to sort things out.

Getting more personal and close than in face to face world. I have learnt the names of my colleagues' and managers' kids, what pets they have, seen their houses etc. Personally, we have always sent long emails with my Dad (we are in different countries), but rarely called. Now we video call every Sunday.

New connection with The Teenager and the (until now virtually unknown) "Healthy Life" (I believe that's how they call it... ) We take a daily walk together after we log off, an hour of walking in the nearby woods and fields is a treat (perhaps excluding the walk when The Teenager nearly stepped on a very dead rat). And since we know it's the only outing, we take it regardless of the weather or "not really feeling like it". It is the new routine, and one that I'd love not to lose when we return back to normal life.

So personally this is a challenge, but so far the negative impact has been in form of inconvenience and annoyances. We are very lucky here in Selleriland. Watching and hearing from the news and friends builds a totally different picture on what the situation is doing for individuals elsewhere. As usual, the poor and non-privileged are hit the worst.

 

@KFF
Just reading the information given to us
Why suspend the MOT for 12 weeks
Why a mortgage holiday
Why a credit card amnesty
First minister advising it is going to be long term and setting new legal statuates for self isolation

See European countries Italy five weeks and rising, France four weeks and rising etc

 

Just guesswork then.

Perhaps in these times it would be better only to deal with known facts Jack.

 

Is he dead now? I hope he survived.

 

He had it mildly @CanadianLori and has made a full recovery.

 

If someone coughed out of their bedroom window whilst a bat flew by could that then infect uk bats?i know its not proven to be bats but could it be a possible that we could give them covid when they come out of hibernation x
Also if it does turn out to prooved it from bats,what if ones taken out of the freezer from 6mnths ago to cook,im sorry ive have questions but i dont know where to get answers to deal with my worries x thanks x

 

In regards to bats….and to lighten the situation....

 

You eat bats ? ? ?

 

Good morning Woo. Maybe it is too early for me to think, but I don't understand your figures. Let's take the UK and round the figures ... Confirmed Cases 38,000 : Total Deaths 3,600 ... is that not 9-10%? Or are you talking about percent of population?
