He has not replied.

I'm now in self isolation. Nothing new, as i live on my own,so it's normal for me!

150F you'd be dead.

Not as dead as if 150C

Any of you remember the last time we had such a virus? I'm talking 'bout the 'Cyrus virus' of course!

Check out that mullet!!!

I was sent home from work the other day for having cold/flu-like symptoms. So that's a week and five days sick leave from the point I first began to feel crook. I have symptoms which potentially fit but I dont fulfill the criteria to warrant testing - whatever they may be. Personally, it's both good and bad as the schools are out for the foreseeable (the good bit)- on the other hand I'm going through a round of interviews for a management role (the bad bit).

Online schooling starts Monday! I must admit I'm impressed with the Norwegians setting this up so quickly. I just hope the internet holds up.

Peak Internet traffic is up 10% across world and is up 30% in Italy. The Internet backbone will do just fine, plenty of spare capacity.

Sorry to repeat myself from another thread, but so far clear of Corona Virus, but had Swine Flu for about a weeeeeek!

If you come out in a rasher, be sure to rub some oinkment on it.

My best mate is stuck on an island in the Maldives after somebody brought the virus there.

You make that sound like a bad thing? Presumably it's hot and sunny there

In the unlikely event that one of us (Mr WD) gets it, I will of course do my wifely duty and ensure that he has a hot water bottle and a sleeping bag to keep him warm while he is sequestered in his shed.

I'm very conscious my wife is at risk to this. She has emphysema and damaged lungs from previous bouts of pneumonia. I'm cancelling plans to do training sessions in factories next week (in small rooms with up to 100 people ) . As a travelling sales bod I'm going to have to limit the "travelling" bit.

It is and they are having a great time, they are starting to move people off today.

Yikes, I hope things go ok for her. Workwise we've had a workshop postponed that was due to be held in April and as a family we've decided to 'socially distance' ourselves as much as possible. Probably going to take the 4yo out of school and just have no unneccessary contact with anyone. I'll still have to go to work unless and until PHE decide to shut us down but apart from we're going to avoid busy places and keep ourselves to ourselves.

To be honest, self isolation is pretty much just every day life for the autistic.

Now sleeping in the spare bedroom as I have cold symptoms. No fever or cough yet but not risking it as my wife has asthma.
