Bloody 'ell. I'm bored as it is. More time in the gym I think.

*edit* schools shut until 20/4. That's a 3 month shutdown.

Daft question, but do you get paid whilst on 'shut down'. I can see this being a issue in the UK should anything develop over here !

I am still getting paid while on shutdown, doing online stuff with some of the kids, so I am still working but not as much as usual.

COPD, heart disease, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, reduced immunity due to medication or a health condition such as kidney or liver disease or a malignancy...all manner of things can make you more susceptible to illness or opportunistic infection

I may as well say goodbye now, it was nice knowing you all

Twitchy bum time around here

Not in one if the closed towns i assume.
You reckon he will self isolate if he has any symptoms on returning?

Just seen a bit on recommended practices if you are self isolating and share accommodation. Not sure i can see folk managing to stick to the practice. A massive massive number of folk share houses in london.

TBH I only know he is in the 'area' but not which town.
He is a nice, level headed guy. A bus driver just to complicate things.

well yes of course.
But a very big feature of london is lots of young (and these days not so young) single folk living cheek by jowl - the self isolating thing might be rather harder for them to pull off.
Lots of those folk will doubtless be travelling internationally.
And have foreign links.
With that and the tube I can see it spreading like wildfire in london very soon.
How many die of it another matter of course. Am not making any predictions on that.

Are you planning on becoming a hermit as well?

To be fair, you've been doing that last one for ages.

Covering my genitals in marmite.

I did that for years before I found out that MrsD had actually told me she loved the taste of marmalade. I got my hearing aid shortly after that.
