Coronavirus. Just Coronavirus.

Not sure when it's actually open but she got a text today to come in Friday, we usually get news on a Thursday so hopefully good news tomorrow

 

How's your auntie, C? Good, I hope.

 

She's 100% and back at work thank you Ponders, all good with yours?

 

That's great news.

We are all well, thank you. I'm in the garden right now, enjoying the birdsong and a cup of excellent Ethiopian coffee. Bliss.

 

A skinny Latte?

 

@monacoger is well stealing this

 

My favourite Yirgacheffe comes ready for the cafetiere. Sometimes I use the moka pot (if I can be arsed). I mostly take my coffee with a dash of Carnation.

Are you a tea or coffee man?

 

It was me who sent it to him

 

Makes sense chief.

 

I'll have a coffee and a few snouts in the Morning P then Tea for the rest of the day usually.

@HRH Custard VC you bought one yet?

 

I was listening to them yesterday talking about this track and trace stuff thats starting in Englandshire today I think, basically its your “duty” to notify them if you test positive and inform them of all the people you've came into close contact with. What about people you work with, when things are back to some sort of normal and we're all back to work, even keeping up social distancing its inevitable that at some points during the day you will come in close contact with colleagues.

If I test positive I would then be required to list every one of my colleagues as someone I've been in contact with, meaning they need to self isolate for 14 days. My work place now has a full department off self isolating, that can't be right surely? I can see work places getting pissed off with having staff needing to take time off all the time, mostly when they have nothing wrong with them, only cos they may have came into contact with someone infected.

 

I can see people getting very pissed off when they get a phone call from some student in a call centre, telling them to isolate because they have been identified as having contact with someone else who tested positive. Then what happens? If I get that phone call telling me to isolate, do I have to give a list of names of people I have been in contact with, so they can isolate too? Where does it stop?

I’ve got another idea; how about bollocks, **** track and trace, **** the government, **** the app that doesn’t work yet, **** the virus and **** off?

 

I was thinking about how they contact you as well, I haven't answered an unknown/withheld number in about 5 years so unless it comes up saying “NHS CONTACT TRACER” then I won't be answering, even then I probably might not answer tbh.

I've been caught out too many times, expecting a call so answer unknown numbers and get stuck talking to some arsehole telling me I was in an accident.
