    In this conundrum myself at the minute. My girlfriend of 1.5 years is in her family home with her Mam and Dad.. None have been working for the past couple of weeks and are in isolation. I live with my Dad and we are both off work and isolating. I have asthma and so am worried about contracting the virus.

    I love this girl, obviously, and if I decide it is selfish to see her then in all likelihood I will not see her until the end of the year when all of this blows over. I can't imagine going the next 8 months without seeing her.

    Like I said, she and her parents are in isolation and have been extremely careful, as have I due to my asthma. I think bringing her over and keeping her away from my Dad for the time she is here to be extra careful should be ok? I really don't know what to do.

    It's tough mate cause you obviously don't want the guilt or in your case the worry of spreading/catching the virus but if there's no end point and you've no symptoms between yous then surely its low risk?

    Hard to call mate cause if you lived together there'd be no problem but as @Marie said to me, living with other people changes it as we're putting them at risk too.

    I was thinking of having her over for two weeks.. then she'd know she hadn't caught the virus here and would be able to return home safely. Tough to know what to do.

    My daughter is in the thick of it, 14 hour shift today tomorrow is a 12 hour one.

    If the survivors of medical profession come through this, it will be a thank you,,,,, naw your not getting a pay rise.

    Mean while the government will give themselves a pat on the back and a 10% pay rise

    These are the real heroes of society, hopefully after this is over they continue to receive the admiration they deserve. They are the heroes that deserve our help

    If any of you end up let down by these * let me know and I will point you to a real company that will help you.

    I seem unable to upload a copy of their letter to their staff, when I can I will upload it, but it’s on a Facebook page that slates them when they are open normally!

    Saw on the Mirror website how a taxi driver supposedly caught the virus from cash from his customer. Like all * on their site and any other tabloid, it's * nonsense.

    Does anyone have an idiots guide to blocking tabloid newspaper websites on an Android phone? I've looked up instructions but can't find anything that works. Does anyone use Blocksite?

    Cheers,

    can imagine now, guy sneezing all over him in a confined environment with air re-circulation on but naw. 100% his money :56:

    Although I'm working right now and silver lining is the charity box is packed with £1 coins because people dont want change. Apparently there £10 is safe but the couple pound coins are obviously infected :56:


    Another silver lining is I cant spend any of the money iv been earning working an extra 20 hours a week so will finally be able to afford my new fridge freezer... with ice cubes. Oh yeah! Dream finally going to be lived :56: :56:

    (Until she notices my bank has money and is spent)

    Are the drone operators observing social distance measures?
