An important piece of advice.

Dear Forummers
Sorry to strike a sombre note but here goes. I have had to return prematurely from SA to UK today. I am coming out of retirement and returning to work. I used [till 2019] to work in a very relevant field. I start on the covid unit at my local hospital on Monday. The situation is poor and worsening rapidly.
Please: if any of you are over 70, or younger have underlying BP or other illness; and if there are cases anywhere in your country, I advise you to self isolate immediately and take this very seriously indeed. It's all about prevention at this stage. Try to delay getting your dose of this until treatment has come down the line, which it rapidly is.
Weeks of delay may make all the difference to you and your loved ones.
I can tell you: "this is not a drill".
Rob

Take care Rob and thanks for getting back into the fray!
Good luck sir!!!

Thank you - stay safe and don't take any more risks than are absolutely necessary.

Thanks Rob. I'm still waiting to see if I get a letter, being more of a generalist. I've also been out of it a long time now, so I may be more of a liability than a help! Delighted to know that your expertise has found a use though, as indeed it should. Just be sure to look after yourself!

Good luck Rob, & stay safe. I think we will all owe our fantastic NHS staff a few beers when this is finally all over whenever that may be.:thup::thup::thup:

If groups are limited to 5 does that mean one less at supper at A.B's next time??
Thanks for the heads up.
cheers,
Warren

Good news from all I've been seeing at the "sharp end":
I consider this is manageable.
Very much so, in fact.
I also think it'll be over sooner than predicted.
Keep obeying instructions, enjoy the hibernation - and it'll be past soon enough.
Rob

Thanks Rob.

I quit watching the "news". Checking here for my information.

Thanks all.

Rob,
Lets hope so, the Prime Minister and the Health Secretary have both tested positive this morning, but mild symptoms which is good, as both run the show! :bow:
