To be fair, he's just issuing a warning.

I'm absolutely bored out of my f..k..g head! Not just bored,but depressed too. I even got a text from my energy supplier today,after i'd queried my monthly payments,telling me i was owed £275 by them and even that didn't make me feel any better. I just looked at it and thought "Wow. Big f..k..g deal"! It's a dull grey evening. No gym,no pub absolutely feck all to do! I'm gonna drive to the cemetery soon and visit my dead relatives and friends. That's how bad it is now ffs!!

And another thing! I'm sick of putting the radio on and hearing quizzes! Every bloody night there's one on! Not only on the radio,but folk telling me how they do them online. There's only so many quizzes you can do before you start to hate them and i actually do like them,but only once a week in a pub. Not on the radio or online ffs!!

Speaking to some nurses I know they said that the figures equate similar in NHS staff figures in a random test in a Manchester hospital a month back , and newer random tests especially on wards with coronavirus, and (local /national tests) had found between 40-50% of staff asymptomatic

It occurred to me that at least there it will be possible to keep the 6 foot distancing rule ...

Child 2's attendance at a new college is in doubt. Numbers potentially being restricted, courses having to be restructured and with college concerns over accommodation, attendance as a day student isn't practical living over 300 miles from the college.

Wife's been told her shielding is to continue until the end of July. She's finding it pretty upsetting and had a teary moment yesterday because she so desperately wants to see and hug her grandchildren.

We've not had them yet, but there is 'provision' in the accounts. I'm expecting those nearing retirement will think ' I've had enough of the madness'. Us 'back office' staff are unlikely to be back until January so I need to gear my head up for this. I've asked that I'd like to pop into the office at least once a week - finding it difficult not meeting folk in person - would be nice to see a friendly face, even if for a chin wag. Missing out 'house services' staff - the cleaners, maintenance folk etc - always good for a chat.

Same here with PPE - donated it to a Care Home, so we've got to buy new in our Health Faculty.

Feeling a bit 'down' generally. Been very tired. Need to pop out on the bike, or may just go for a walk. I'm just seeing so much 'stupidity' with social distancing, you do think, fark it. We've been doing the staying away from people - I saw my parents for the first time last week - I was in my front garden and they were on the pavement - just handing over a birthday card - I miss going for a beer with my dad.
Not happy we can't go to our caravan, that's dragging on, and we'd be still isolated from anyone - it's not looking likely any time soon as the Welsh Government has dug it's heals in, and TBH, the Welsh are openly racist to the English as it is.- ohh, let's all riot.
I can't see the 'locals' wanting us back - I think we'll let some other unfortunate English try getting to their van's first when we are allowed to.
Looks like most of the bike parks are going to go bust at this rate - they can't socially distance on the 'up lift' services. Won't affect me as I prefer natural trails and trail centres, but for the Gravity demons, the downhill venues aren't going to survive.

FWIW - my GP told me that to sheild or not to sheild is a personal decision - it's not law.
And to sheild is a bloody big ask imo.

Yes, she's just scared.
Our neighbour has had her grandchildren and extended family around almost every day of the lockdown which is particularly galling.

I shielded properly for around 3 weeks. I just couldn't do it after that - esp in a 3 bed house with 4 adults. I do go out but don't mix with anyone outside my household and try to avoid other people.
