It's a standard company letter sent to all live-in employees working for that chain, I've seen a couple of identical letters with the hotel name but from the same chain, perhaps a boycott would serve them right when this is over...
This has been all over the local news up here....poor guy is heartbroken. Very bad PR for the Hotel. Good news is that the staff who have been kicked out have been rehoused by other hotels in the area, and now Coylumbridge will have trouble recruiting when they reopen - Karmas' a bitch.
New government legislation, set out last week, enables fast tracking of funerals and the detention of people showing symptoms of the virus and placing them in isolation facilities. I get that some people have been ignoring advice at supermarkets etc, but images of people walking down a park path, appearing to be a mob, are misleading, there will be big distances between them until they pass each other for a brief moment. Top of a slippery slope.
I don’t think it is that misleading. My local playground was heaving and no chance kids can be expected to adhere to it. Tourist spots having their best day of the year. It really was treated like a bank holiday by too many people.
That is true and sensible exercise is to be encouraged. Trying to climb Snowdon with a load of other spanners isn’t.
The trouble with the government feeding us rules piecemeal is that most people, including myself, aren't sure exactly what they should be doing. Ok, we have the 2 metre rule which must be followed. Should we be going to work? What is the criteria in deciding? Can we go to the shops to buy non-food or medical items? I don't know. Can we order stuff online. Will there be anyone at the other end to take my order? If so, why are they at work?! There's a lot of uncertainty at the moment
Agree for the first time yesterday i was confused with the rules. NHS guidelines say isolate yourself at home for 2 weeks (is that sick people or everyone)? Then government said go out but distance yourself. I guess it's common sense at the end of the day. People need to think about what they are doing. I am lucky here as I have plenty of woods/fields and parks around me. I am not sick and take my dog out twice a day for a walk. Other than that I stay at home and get on with life....I make the mrs do the shopping as I hate it anyway. I have no there contact with anyone.... I will be Pi22ed off when I come out of hibernation if get this bloody thing because it has resurfaced in 12 weeks.
Yes, I'm surrounded by fields and woods and they're empty which is great. But I'm having work done to the kitchen due mid April, and I need to get stuff. Should I go out and buy it? Presumably yes, if the shop is open. My fitter is asking if he can work. Yes, if we obey the 2 metre work. But will the kitchen parts be delivered? It's a two man job lifting the stuff from the van, and they'll be breaking the 2 metre rule. So confusing atm
I'm at work today. Whilst 95% of my work can be done from home, I will need to go to the office once in a while. At the moment it's at my own discretion I suppose, but if there is a full lock-down I guess I would have to make some kind of application. My problem is that I have to use tube to get to work, but I left it till after the normal rush hour this morning and it was so empty that I barely came within 6 feet of anyone at any time. The good news is that I was able to buy some eggs on the walk from the station.
prepared to be pissed off then Els. This thing most certainly won't be gone in 12 weeks time with the way people are behaving right now
Plus if you look at the second spike in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, places which did a great job of controlling the virus initially. They say it’s because of people returning from abroad with the virus, but I suspect that simply loosening the lock down rules has played a role. Several waves of this, until effective treatments are in place, only objective is to save health services from total collapse.
