TheTeapot Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Gov should offer everyone who can stay off work a few hundred quid to do so and give the kids another week off while they do shit loads of testing. So not a lockdown, but a little grace, see how it goes. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more at risk economically if the IOM does not keep the lid on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what they say on website etc, if you ring 111 for advice having been in 1886 they say just isolate for a week as a precaution!! Friend’s daughter got told above earlier when she rang up, she’s happy as will get paid but lots of others won’t. So basically they are saying something different to official published advice if you ring up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horatiotheturd Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 So given the information sent out by twitter and press over the last 24 hours, what are the actual government recommendations for staff at and visitors to the estabkishments mentioned? Fb seems to be saying people who have phoned 111 are getting conflicting information about isolation and testing, and lots won't want to phone as they can't afford to isolate. Its a total shitshow. Get proper information out to people and update your website 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
