    You search Google and there are quite a few examples of similar questions being asked.

    Our Minister for Facism Peter Dutton is going back to his dog whistling ways with the help of his talk back mate.

    “It’s a busload of Asian Australians I presume with a trailer on the back, just going to these shopping centres and shops... Aldi, Coles and Woollies and clearing the joint out.” Hadley said.

    I'm past the point of caring what work say, if the government advise is to stay home I won't be going in. I don't think we should be open now let alone during whatever constitutes lockdown.

    Day 1 of working from home:
    Kept my daughter off nursery. Emails will be checked periodically while she watches Despicable Me. Might try to squeeze a few hours of WoW in. Current levels: 27, 17 & 8. Need to decide which character to focus on.

    I would suggest whatever lockdown is it wont be that stringent because trains will be running which would be pointless otherwise.

    For those of us who've been able to WFH already and who haven't been going out for anything other than the shops is a LOCKDOWN going to make any difference?

    Every bus and train has been dead this week. Went out and got pissed on Tuesday in anticipation of no pubs this weekend and it was a ghost town. People are learning.

    In the Death per Population league table, Norway have made the biggest jump, moving up 2 places from 13th to 11th, helped a lot by their relatively small population (5.4m). Despite early scares, the USA and Australia remain as non-movers. Indeed, Australia need to get some more cases confirmed otherwise they may find themselves dropping down a division, with Portugal and Czechia looking to take their spot in the top flight.

    In the UCL spots, Spain leapfrog Iran to take second spot, thanks in no part to an additional 105 deaths since the 17th.

    Malaysia continue to defy all logic, recording a paltry 2 deaths from 900 cases. #TeamASEAN

    To anybody who could work from home and was observing the advice properly already, no, it'll make no difference.

    To those who weren't, it's going to be a shock.

    Further down the line we'll get to the stage where businesses/industries are deemed essential or not and any non-essential ones will be closed too.

    Just listening to 5 Live some woman aged 60 with asthma. Wants to see her 80 odd year old mother at the weekend as it's mothers day. She also wants to look after her daughters kids next week as the schools will be closed and her daughter needs to work. Her argument with the doctor or whoever was on there was that her asthma isn't serious. He told her that she should be isolating herself. I mean seriously what the fuck is wrong with these people? The people I'm noticing seem to have a problem with it are the middle aged. They just can't seem to get their fucking heads round the fact that this is quite serious.

    We're doing a 20-30 minute video call catch up with our team every day and I'll be interested to see how people get on with this as the weeks and months roll on because I think a couple of folk are already finding this a bit of a strain.

    As I said further upthread luckily my parents are being quite sensible.

    I can't think of anything worse. We had our usual mid month catch up yesterday which was utterly pointless and made me want to die.

    That league table is ace, but the San Marino Coronavirus [Death] Federation is going to be filing a formal complaint if you don't recognise their achievements. Top 4 minimum.

    Holy shit.... San Marino, population 33,000... 140 cases and 14 deaths. That's a Dp1M of 424! Almost 10 times that of Italy.

    Look out for San Marino in the World Coronvuris Champions League draw!!

    Andorra's got some catching up to do. 76,965 people, 39 cases. 1 death. Monaco have yet to get off the mark with 7 cases and no deaths.

    It's a pointless fake country, same as Monaco. We should count them as part of Italy/France.

    Was it work related? This is specifically not that. And it's fine, some of the chit chat is a bit meh but there are a few people who just live themselves so I can see the thinking behind it provided you don't hate everybody you work with.

    I haven’t been able to shake the cough for over a week now and I still have shortness of breath and some tightness across my chest. Generally feeling quite tired and don’t have much appetite. On Saturday my temperature spiked over 38 and I could barely get out of bed again until Monday evening but that’s back under control.

    All in all not great, the fever and tiredness is pretty standard flu stuff but the difficulty breathing is really starting to wear thin.

    Try to find some breathing techniques to get your oxygen levels up. That should help with the tiredness and keep you away from an eventual ventilator.

    Coughing helps with pneumonia. Deep breaths and lots of coughing, worst thing you can do is those panty shitbreaths and hold in coughs.

    Yes, we had to discuss the month so far, and what our forecast is.

    No I couldn't quite believe it either. And discuss strategies for selling more. Fucking woeful.

    With the tube closures, isn't everybody just going to pile on to the lines still running and make it worse?

    In other news, I'm now self-isolating. Dry cough and shortness of breath. No fever. I've had the cough for a week and the shortness of breath since Monday, but work have been cunts about it.

    'The guidance isn't clear enough, we're still working on a definition of a dry persistent cough and shortness of breath. We can't afford to lose people too quickly'. In a hospital, for fuck's sake. Anyway, I did the 111 quiz thing and it says stay at home for a week, so I am.

    No idea if I have it or not. It does feel different from a normal winter cold, but not necessarily worse but for a bit of anxiety.

    The company president (80) has just informed us he is working from home. Rightly of course.

    It's just the workforce who have effectively been told to come in until we get the virus and then get paid for 3 of the 14 days when we do.

    I'm going to pin up our 'guidelines' at home on the wall so I remember what they thought of us.
