    Everyone knows Covid-19 is a fake virus, only those over 100 die and then only if they have cancer, heart attacks and strokes at the same time.

    For everyone else it is completely harmless. Please go out and ask a stranger to cough hard into your face.

      Almost certain the stranger won’t have it. Not in my county anyway.

        Furlough is never going to end is it?

        The biggest jolly since teacher’s summer holidays.

        End it; FFS!

            It also seems that people on Furlough still accrue their holidays.

            A friends company is getting people back to work from Furlough and finding they are putting in their holidays almost straightaway

                  Even more jolly when people receive their redundancy notice.

                  This has happened to a few furloughed employees I know....

                    My friends place, they furloughed all the retail staff apart from him as he’s the boss.

                    The company topped up the 80% to 100% !!!

                    Now they can’t get the buggers back in. They are conducting BAME and now COVID risk assessments on all the staff, and because they are all Basically old, fat with underlying health conditions, they can’t shield them because they work in a shop and are refusing to return.

                    Bottom line is, they will all be made redundant soon.

                    I can see a situation where if you’re fat, you’ll never get employed. Companies just can’t risk it.

                      I know one company who have told pimps to do initial FaceTime rather than screening phone call to check if they would be in high risk groups

                      Over 40 / fat / bald / bame / looks unhealthy

                      And discard immediately
