Coronavirus: Please use this thread for all COVID19 talk!

Exactly.

Once again, the voice of reason

 

Day 255 of isolation.

My beard is itchy, I might have a shave.
The children who dwell here have discovered a unique way to keep track of time.
Months and days of the week no longer exist, so we just refer to time as, day or night.
The system seems to be working thus far.
Back of the cupboard food is so bad, that I'm kinda hoping Covid19 takes my sense of taste in the coming days.

I think I need help. How much longer?

 

That's the most sense he's said in years.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

 

How truly awful

 

That poor, poor kid, how utterly heartbreaking.

 

I dont "like" but you know.

 

That image is more powerful than an entire month's worth of government briefings on how grim the situation is. What a terrible, terrible way to leave this world.

 

I think that photo is an intrusion of privacy. Shame on whoever took it. An absolute disgrace. Does no one have any respect any more?

 

A little unfair, it was taken with the family’s permission, and as Tom says, it is a truly shocking reminder of how serious the current situation is.

 

It would have been had he not asked, and received, permission from the family to publish it.

 

There shouldn’t be any cost to them.
They re-employ you and then put you on furlough, then when furlough ends, hopefully your new job kicks in.
It is entirely up to the employer if they do it, but if they query it you can at least show them the link.
Good luck.

 

It's what gets lost in the statistics: a pandemic, where isolation is a crucial element to saving lives, is incredibly heartless for those suffering, for those dying, and for those close to victims. There really isn't any other option, but it's so cruel and so traumatic.

 

I put my bins out at 20:00 last night......I was quite touched by the neighbours applauding me for it .....means a lot.

 

People like you make it all worthwhile Rich!

 

lol this is brilliant

 

I’m in a bit of shock now. Just found out that someone I used to work with took his own life today.

He was a struggling ex-alcoholic and he spoke only the other day on FB on how being home alone without his kids and his AA meetings were getting to him.

The virus didn’t get him, but the consequences did.

RIP big man.
