No cure for the virus yet, but here is my cure for virus anxiety. Five miles on this and I can feel the grin on my face!

My sister sent her husband out shopping yesterday with an extensive list. Like me, she loves pasta so wanted the ingredients she needed.

He came back with parmesan, peppercorns, pesto, fresh basil, cream, sieved tomatos, passata, garlic, chilli flakes, olive oil and .... 6 tins of Tesco own brand spaghetti hoops :laugh:

Looks like schools are off from next week but fark knows what we're going to do with the kids. I spoke to my boss and she's expecting me to turn up for work, something about hospital labs being quite important at the moment...

Maybe your kids will be part of the section Boris has just mentioned? Parents essential to NHS and other critical services can still attend.

My mate's wife is the head teacher at a junior school. Keeping it open was no longer an option because so many staff were self isolating or showing symptoms that were possibly just a mild cold but couldn't take chances. She had to go in at 6am today to open up because the caretaker went sick. One of our paperboys was telling us that his school was also down on staff, same reason as above plus three on long term isolation because they are pregnant.

Tough but right decision made just now, we are self isolating.
I've had a cough and head cold and occasional sneezing for maybe a month now so coughing is making people nervous I should think. Temps are normalish.
My sons just informed us his wife suddenly developed a sharp dry cough and temperature...not terrible but nevertheless...
Shes been sent home immediately.
As soon as my wife, who works in a SEN school told her employers....sent home immediately as we have close and regular contact with them and the grandkids.
My company (food production) has given specific advice and is supportive so rang my boss, book me off for 2 weeks holiday I suggested. His reply... No, take 2 weeks off, I will talk to HR, you are salaried, let them sort it.

I'm not a sicknote, even when I had TB, pneumonia and pleurisy, I only actually had one day off sick then a few days off when I got hives because I was so run down (I did have a week off when I started the TB treatment as well) I generally only call In sick for 1 or 2 days a year.
So calling in now when realistically, someone close has a sore threat, not coronavirus, goes against everything I always did...but morally, it's the right thing to do.

My manager Informed me at the same time...a former colleague at our sister site has just done the same. No questions asked, it's the right thing to do.
