    Day 25 since first symptoms: ever so slight an improvement on loss of smell and taste senses. Barely noticeable if I wasn't so in tune with my mind and body but it has also come about at the same time as an onset of body aches. This presents a key scientific finding, the virus baddies trapped in my nasal cavity have been dislodged slightly and are not waging a futile battle in my system. The theory of the virus congregating in the nasal cavity may hold the key in society's battle for survival. Reporting out.

    We're not even on lockdown and my dad has gone full Howard Hughes and is now effectively holding my mum hostage.



    This is going to do more damage to people's mental wellbeing than digging half a million holes.

    Its ridiculous. Seems like all the suppliers will be back open for normal tomorrow as well.

    Weve been told if we dont come in then we arent going to get paid.

    I've had 5 of my 6 jobs cancelled and one job I took pictures of a roof for a scaffold team.

    I've changed a lock on an empty property and screwed a shed door shut. Maybe 30 minutes work over 6 hours.

    I feel a mutiny brewing, open conversations across the office about how we shouldn't be here. Heart bypass is no board as well so we have inter-departmental agreement.

    This lock down hasnt made any difference. Roads same as the last week or so, drove past a market which was open earlier. Loads of people out walking around.

    No police to be seen.

    It was fairly dead by me. I walked to the office earlier with the dog as my "designated exercise", and only saw a few people on the way, and those were all either alone or with a dog. There was a vape shop still open for some reason, though.

    Yeah it was very quiet today in comparison to last week. I popped into the Morrisons to pick up some bread, milk, etc. and people were keeping wide berths when passing, and waiting at the till with a large gap, so there has definitely been progress.

    Just thrashed out a deal which will see us go to rotation policy which for me means two days in a week. When I say 'thrashed out a deal', what I mean is I went to MD's office, found him dithering and cowering like a broken man, and basically told him we had to do this at a minimum.

    In days I'm sure it'll go to full closure.

    Man, can they just make Cuomo President? That man is pissed. 20,000 ventilators just sitting there in a stockpile and New York need them badly.

    Cuomo is not good. Just because he looks good next to the most woefully unprepared for this moment man in the universe does not make him good.

    Have to lol at Trump killing a million people because he thinks the stock market having a green arrow gets him re-elected.

    It was only my team I spoke for. Fuck knows what the rest of the company is doing. He has completely decentralised all decision-making responsibility, it's like the server in his brain has shut down.

    Dear Jesus. This explains why all the pensioners are still roaming about as normal. One of them chuckled to himself yesterday when I gave him a wide berth. I should've nutted him and coughed in his face.

    I’ve had the dry cough for 13 days, shortness of breath for 9, viral conjunctivitis over the weekend and nausea with the shits today. I’m increasingly convinced this is it.

    Yeah I've had the cold for 7 days, then sinuses and the shits, now the cough and shortness of breath. No fever at any point though.

    I'm on day 11.

    I've got something, but I don't think it's Coronavirus. The only proper symptom I've had is a very mild shortness of breath. If I take a very big, deep breath, it makes me cough a bit, almost like my lungs are being tickled. Otherwise, I'm sneezing more than usual and have a bit of a sore throat. Nothing else, so I reckon it's just a mild cold.

    This is the problem. At any other time I’d be thinking nothing more than ‘for fuck’s sake, hurry up and go’. Now I’m thinking ‘for fuck’s sake, is this cunt going to end me?’. Every morning when I wake up and it’s still with me.

    Anyway, maybe we’ve all had it already:

    Aye, it would. I'm not even sure. I've definitely had some lung inflammation lately but that could've just been the cold mornings tickling my athsma. The sore throat keeps trying to make a comeback but it's more dry than irritated.

    From next week, 5,500 final year medics and more than 18,700 final year student nurses will "move to the frontline" of the NHS
    Oh.

    I've been a pinnacle of health since I got over pneumonia in May (got it in Feb). I definitely haven't had anything since, and this cough and breath is giving me the fear.

    In stunning news most of the office have been put on furlough until the end of May, skeleton staff only (possibly literally). My suspicion is it became cheaper to let Boris pay us our 80% than to have us schlepping about the office with no customers to speak of.

    Officially out of the running for TTH Last Man Standing.
