My daughter has started coughing... she's sure she hasn't got it so is self-isolating under duress.

I had to do an emergency order to my parents this week. To make up the £40 minimum order, they also got four bottles of wine and a packet of digestivesComment

Wife's carer was due today but called in to say that she can't come as a close friend of hers has just been admitted to hospital with pneumonia. He is waiting for test results but means when can't go visit her carees in the next 5 days. Not an issue for us as I do 95% of carer duties, but not great for her carees who don't have family close by.
This is the only case we're aware of in our remote little village.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Trouble is its too easy to panic and think you've got it.
And theres a dilemna as a contractor too.
So, you're a permie, you take 2 weeks off on full pay, turns out to be a cold. Happy days - 14 days watching NetFlix.
Contractor. You commit to 14 days off and then its just a cold. Feck thats half your income gone for the month. There is no client out there whos going to say "go on please go home and we'll still pay you".
OK, yes coronavirus is more important that a few quid, and you should have the funds for things like this. BUT, I dont want to take 14 days off for no need.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Currently working for a software/consultancy Co. I'm 100% WFH. I work on their client's projects, and so VPN into their client's systems. The clients are a mix from many sectors. I have full access to their Financial systems.
How much more restricted and secret does it need to be before you can't work from home?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
