Unfortunately it sounds like we're miles away from testing on this scale.
Issuing Immunity certificates, hopefully we can get them testing kits working asap so we can follow this route
Cummings self isolating now.
Shit isn't it. I've been off nearly week now. So far I've washed and polished my cars,painted the garage door,mowed the lawn,sorted the garage out,done other various bits of painting now I've started painting the facia boards. Great getting a few jobs done but this isnt for me. I want to go back to work.Bloody glad I’ve never been unemployed,A week at home is more stressful and boring.
Been for plenty of exercise though!!

As an aside I requested a refund from Aer Lingus for flights in April but despite having confirmation of it being processed I'm still getting e-mails about the upcoming flights and I don't see it even being cancelled. Can't get through to them on the phone either.
I'm about 10 mins from Cork Airport, if you get no joy in the coming days let me know and I'll just walk in and ask at a desk what the policy is and whats happening.
edit... if they let me!!!
Is it only a matter of time before supermarket home delivery vans are targeted and held up and robbed along their routes.
Going to be like robbing a bullion truck.
Was due to be flying to Shannon on the 10th, asked for a refund 11 days ago but heard nothing. Hope they're just processing a lot of requests rather than ignoring them
100% I had a virus on my chest 3 times down the walk in they finally said it was bronchitis but wasn’t sure at all Amoxicillin didn’t touch it had to just clear on it’s own lasted weeks on endWe need to hurry this antibody test up asap, it will confirm if it was around earlier with people getting really poorly around Christmas time with all the symptoms of Covid
So you know for sure JLR aren't going to apply for the grant?
I had an Air Canada flight booked in May . The option was to cancel with no refund or cancel with credit to re arrange a flight at a later date.As an aside I requested a refund from Aer Lingus for flights in April but despite having confirmation of it being processed I'm still getting e-mails about the upcoming flights and I don't see it even being cancelled.

A lot of self employed I know have carried on working and tbh what choice do they have ? Sign on ?Our management are telling us we need to keep working as the government won’t help us.

This may be the same
They way they are working is that they will only deal with queries relating to flights over the upcoming 72 hours, so they will indeed be just ignoring you at this stage, and your options are to change the flight for free, or ask for a voucher for the value of the ticket and they'll give you an extra 10% on top. But you'll get charged a fiver admin fee for doing any of these things.
Engineers that couldn't mend a puncture on a bicycle. Everyone seems to have engineer written on there backs at our place. Honestly it's a joke. We fix the damn things and do they listen to us on advice? Do they fuck.
Im not being flippant. Someone I knew was a analyst two levels below a manager was on £55k - an average would be £45k - it would just about cover a new graduates wage in the office
Correct. Once upon a time precision tool makers and alike were classed as engineers. It appears these days if you can screw an air freshener to a wall you’re an engineerThe probably we have in the U.K. is the term engineer isn’t legally defined like in many countries so the term gets banded about too freely and means there’s nothing to stop managers promoting their “yes men” to engineer so they can give them a raise and keep them on side.

Sounds like a very sensible system. Would be great to get your hands on one then you’re good to go. I bet the nutters in America would think it’s some conspiracy though.

Indeed. I see it all the time.The probably we have in the U.K. is the term engineer isn’t legally defined like in many countries so the term gets banded about too freely and means there’s nothing to stop managers promoting their “yes men” to engineer so they can give them a raise and keep them on side.

Proper engineering back then!Correct. Once upon a time precision tool makers and alike were classed as engineers. It appears these days if you can screw an air freshener to a wall you’re an engineer

What’s work sirShit isn't it. I've been off nearly week now. So far I've washed and polished my cars,painted the garage door,mowed the lawn,sorted the garage out,done other various bits of painting now I've started painting the facia boards.

exactly the same here - lasted 2 weeks for me - Wasnt a cold, nor bronchitis - even though they diagnosed that initially100% I had a virus on my chest 3 times down the walk in they finally said it was bronchitis but wasn’t sure at all Amoxicillin didn’t touch it had to just clear on it’s own lasted weeks on end

While we all know cash in hand type work exists I think this is showing the scale of it. The number of people I've seen saying they don't qualify for anything due to their accounts when they easily take home more than I do in salary is astonishing.A lot of self employed I know have carried on working and tbh what choice do they have?
I've been watching Flightradar24 a bit just lately (geek). It's surprising how many flights are still going on and I did actually notice that Aer Lingus do seem to be doing a lot of flights still.
Meanwhile several of the department are in hospital, losing more by the day as they isolate with symptoms. Yet still it’s “business critical” that we continue working.
The thinking seems to be they want the next lot of cars ready on time for sale (demand is obviously going to be severely reduced). Despite this we can’t spend any money on anything. I can’t see JLR surviving this.
I would think the best thing would be to put as many people on furlough as possible but instead they’re trying to cover everyone’s wages and paying them in full. There seems to be a lot of pressure coming from somewhere to not claim furlough.

As my dad says,get back to work and get my pension in.What’s work sir
We survived the recession with no help from the government so I'd say if the government were willing to part pay peoples salary then the powers that be would be crazy not to except the offer. Maybe the government are saying that in exchange for cash they want x amount of the business? I might be wrong but it rings a bell that during the recession the then government tried that trick? Like I said I might be wrong.Meanwhile several of the department are in hospital, losing more by the day as they isolate with symptoms. Yet still it’s “business critical” that we continue working.
