I felt really tired and then developed a cough a couple of days later, before you do the test read the instructions as I went to the drive through and the explanation was limited and I did it wrong.

Good luck I hope you get it mild like me or my wife who has had no symptoms

Haven't had a cough, but do feel really lethargic and tight chested.
Cheers for the advice.

I’m now clear of Covid and was due back at work yesterday so I spoke to my boss and he asked how I was I said fine just a small cough, got a message to say we would rather you stopped at home for another week to let the cough go so people are not worried. So getting another week at home lovely.

I think that should be the advice for everyone really .
Again I think we're an outlier with the 1 week advice .
Do either of you have a theory of where you picked it up .
It's quite interesting that both of you have worked right through and now have picked it up late on as the rate has dropped significantly, as we're told .

One week seems short to me, not really sure who had it first to know my wife could only have got it from the hospital she works at as it’s the only place she has been, I had been to work where I had worked with somebody who went off with Covid but I was told is a precaution I went to the supermarket as well but nowhere else.

They better not have moved Countryfile tonight for that crock of shit .
It's a F"*kin grandstanding excercise to try and bolster his rapidly declining image .

Just as the daily conferences have turned into PR excercises .

I refer Mr Bone .

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I would imagine Cummings will be having a little word with Mr Bone.

Goes to show how bad they’re doing when an ardent hard brexiteer who backed Boris in the leadership contest is publicly criticising Boris lad.

Ooh the leaks
Just surprised not many Coming via Laura..
Overtime on the building sites and housing market opening back up .
Wonder what the demand there will be ?
Bargains Galore?

I keep David on

Furloughed ?

 

[Brylowes]

I think as time goes by you can only assume that they never deviated from the herd immunity plan and everything we’ve seen from them is nothing more than smoke and mirrors to disguise that.

Their half hearted approach to both the lockdown and the securing of PPE and testing
Capacity does point to this conclusion, herd immunity has to be their aim.
If it isn’t ‘and this has genuinely been their best concentrated effort to Treat, contain and
eventually beat this virus ‘well....I’m staggered,

Thanks to all the doctors and nurses keeping us alive! Look how much we appreciate them when we clap on Thursday nights!

Oh and here's the bill.

Fucking typical. There was me thinking (hoping) Johnson might have a different viewpoint on the public sector after they apparently saved his life.

VAT? That can’t be true. VAT is down to the nasty EU. OUT MEANS OUT!

I've got grendal on a string.

What's wrong with them raising tax to pay for it?

They'd be absolutely mental to do that.

Johnson is promising no return to austerity and that would yank the economy further

It’s probably the continued pay freeze for public sector workers including our nurses

 

[Ian1779]

Depends where you raise it. Are the more likely to raise the income tax rate for those earning >80K or those earning at the lowest levels?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not much. But kicking the public sector for another few years after it, particularly health and education, have had to work overtime in this timeframe, would be quite unfortunate.

Millennials left school during the 2008 recession, Gen Z will do it during a Covid recession. Both will be told they are entitled for complaining about the consequences of that

 

[David O'Day]

Because raising tax in a downturn decreases demand which makes the recession worse

There's loads wrong with it.

Decreasing demand with decreases the tax take for 1

Well the bill is hundreds of billions which needs to be covered somehow. The question is who do you ask to pay more towards it

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Hopefully today marks the beginning of our road to recovery..... slightly worrying seeing the leaked documents on how were going to have to pay for this in the years to come

We’ll see if you keep worshipping the ground Boris walks on or if you start to see that maybe he’s not what he bigged himself up to be. Things like this will kick our generation harder

It was obvious we’re going to have to pay financially for it, let’s just hope the kick isn’t too big and from today we get things reopen and the economy safely moving.... this is why we can’t stay in lockdown forever

Seen somewhere that 1 in 3 companies might not reopen

Look at the images of the buses above, it isn't reopening safely, it can't.

The kick will be to nurses and teachers again, instead of the investment bankers and lawyers who have contributed nothing during the crisis. I would like to be proven wrong but what I’m afraid you will see is the party of the rich protecting the rich and getting you to cover the bill

Good to see you're all for lefty policies

Most of that will be owed to the bank of england who are owned by the uk government.

You can slowly pay it off as per the slavery reparations which we have only just paid off.

Also if you actually stimulate the economy you increase the tax rate more.
