Don’t be ashamed to do so, mate. If you need help, you’ll regret not taking it if something bad happens.

thing is that is meant for the extremely vulnerable group & as far as i can tell we don't fall into that category and if to many people get wrongly added to the list the ones who cannot leave the house will find the special delivery slots overwhelmed .

It’s an intensely annoying app in normal times but quite useful now. If you PM me the town you live in I’ll happily do some research to see whether there are any food suppliers who are now doing home deliveries. I promise not to stalk you until after all this is over.

Trump will rain hell, fire and fury down on that nation when this is all out of the way.

Every country on earth should be putting pressure on the horrible dirty bastards to employ stricter Hygeine procedures, their standards as a nation are repulsive.

Soz Bob.

Trump's finished mate. It was funny - sort of - while it lasted, but that joke is well and truly over.

So is the idea of one nation raining down hell on another nation. Either we change everything, all our values, our power structures, our entire way of life, or we're ****ed. There's no room for macho swagger after this ****'s over.

Blaming the Tiddly Winks, that won't work either. That's the old way of thinking, and it's failed, utterly.

Out of respect for you and indeed my own natural cynicism I read the article... my conclusion is that these 12 idiots are seeking some sort of notoriety ... they seem to completely ignore the mounting death toll as if what is happening is nothing out of the ordinary or can somehow be extrapolated over normal influenza casualties ... utter bollocks mate ... Italy has a somewhat unique aged population in terms of family generations sharing accommodation... Italy has never seen anything like this death toll amongst the elderly ... that alone is enough to convince me that this is both unprecedented and extraordinary ...

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your medium risk condition?
Click to expand...


I have a biological treatment every eight weeks. I used to have immunosuppressants but this is different. When I had immunosuppresant treatment, I had to have flu jabs. I don't need flu jab now.

Not going into much more detail, I've actually been perfectly ok for about four years. I had two bad spells of this in my entire life (second one lasted two years mind!)

I call it the Darren Fletcher's.

Like I said though, I'm fine but still get the eight week infusion.

when did medium risk become part of the 12 week stay at home regime ? . All i've seen is the extremely vulnerable ,approx 1.5m , & old folk .If this is the case i'm getting registered so i can see the extra delivery slots from the supermarkets .

Exactly!

Although it says do not interact with anyone outside of family, which would mean work.

I'm reluctant to furlough yet, it's likely to come soon anyway as our supply chain grinds to a halt.

Surprised you’re still going tbh mate.

So, had my stay in doors for twelve weeks letter yesterday!

Wasn't really expecting it and not 100% sure whether I am going to act on it, had a letter from the local hospital Friday saying I am 'medium' risk category (even that is bollocks IMO, I see myself as ****ing bomb proof) which is to 'stringently' socially distance. For twelve weeks though ffs??

Rewinding slightly, I am still working. I fall into that grey area of not being able to work from home but can very definitely still work and keep the economy going. In other words, construction.

Who gives a **** about construction though, right? Not deemed to be essential or a hero by anybody. Not that I'm on here asking for my back to be patted or anything. (perhaps I should clarify at this point, no, I don't blame the government <ok>)

I'm going to see the week out. I am temperature tested twice a day entering the place of work (a brewery) and am in very good health. I can also steer clear of most people, I'm not a 'coal face' worker . All our meetings are by Skype or Zoom, so I'm not sat in room with others and when I do interact, I stay 2m clear.

Will see what happens after this week. I feel daft, I don't need my arse wiping by anyone and I don't feel at risk. Nor do I want to be a bed burden!

If I am at home I will be getting out for a run and dog walk, there's no way am I stopping doing that.

Won't go to supermarkets or owt though.



I think @Tobes has had similar letter iirc?

You’ve had the letter for a medical reason mate, act upon it.

The advice is for your own good and also to try and limit the stress on the system, as you’re patently in the group more likely to need hospitalisation if you contract it.

I know how you feel as I initially felt the same, until the virus started to appear locally and the risk therefore increased. Not worth it bro, stay at home.

Sorry to butt in mate, but been reading the comments, contact Saisnbury's I'm pretty confident they will sort you out and open up a delivery slot for you. They just need to be made aware, generally they will be working on age, nothing ventured nothing gained, got to be done at times like this.
