All high risk letters/text/emails are being sent by NHSE. Each GP practice is then working through its patient list to identify any vulnerable patients that the system algorithms have identified.
My wife hasn't had any news yet and we've seen deliveries being made to vulnerable users nearby so she phoned her GP. apparently they're contacting everyone alphabetically and she's a "W"
And the SMS systems are at capacity so everything is backed up. We use an "intelligent" SMS service linked to SystmOne and they have capacity for 2m messages per day and normally comfortably within. Currently they have 4m per day being sent so this is causing a delay/backlog.

If my GP practice is involved - I doubt I will get a letter - they are taking 4 days to sign off prescription s (even inhalers!) Currently ! ....every cloud I suppose.

Well me and Mrs D are off for our first authorised (for now) daily bike ride, we'll be combining it with dropping off the medication I picked up for my mum, have told her to leave a window open and we'll lob it in whilst cycling past at high speed.
That'll normal at some surgeries when it gets a bit busier. Don't worry too much, they'll catch up.

I've just downloaded https://covid.joinzoe.com/ - it's a sort of virus tracker, used to track where the virus is spreading, set up by Guy's and St Thomas' Biomedical Research Centre
That's my point - I think we're arguing from the same sideNope. Italy went through all this. The businesses and all that will get sorted out. Italy kept loads of stuff open till 2-3 days after the national lockdown and loads of construction and other random offices and stuff open until late last week. Unfortunately these businesses in Italy will have people on ventillators and family members dropping dead 2-3 weeks from now, just as happened in earlier lockdown areas. The UK needs to sort it quickly otherwise family members of construction and other random businesses will have family members dead in 3 week's time.
Let the businesses do whatever the hell they like. I've seen some on the Jeremy Vine show this morning and some aren't clear about advice or don't want to close. They won't be around in a few week's time and the government will do as Italy and close it down eventually.
Italy were slow off the mark to curtail business activity and I suspect this was instrumental in spreading the virus. Equally our government seems to have let business off lightly relative to private activities.
The problem with "letting the businesses do whatever the hell they like" being the repercussions for their employees who are forced to work, their families and wider society as a whole.
Indeed - hadn't considered it from that perspective either until I saw the news earler; but while I can understand the potential deterrant nature of shutting down transport I guess it has to be all or nothing and it now seems like madness to force those who do remain in need of transport into much closer proximity to one another.
I still question how many are still going to work at non-essential jobs too..
Indeed; although while easier said than done we should both go a bit easier on ourselves since on the grand scheme of things it's got to be an absolutely minimal concern compared to the selfish / stupid actions of others.
Personally while the weather's good I'm hoping for a reasonable walk or cycle on alternate days; as much as I'm an introvert internet slave staying inside the house literally 24/7 for three weeks would, without a doubt drive me absolutely insane..

With solo rides take it easy is the key it's not selfish just helps to keep fitness up and avoiding insanity.
I have been taking routes with more climbs, I keep it slow and steady.

4 days! We work on 2 days. Slightly off topic but have you got your prescriptions set up to go electronically with a nominated Pharmacy?

this is why I've been in semi isolation for over a week now... I don't want to transmit anything from work to my friends & family, and I owe it to my workmates to try not bring anything from friends & family to work, so apart from going to work as normal, I'm isolated from everyone else.
