My friend that's a paramedic said that she's been called out to hundreds of people that likely have it, they're in really bad ways but because they're not priority with underlying conditions etc she has to leave them at home.
She said it's mentally scarring and she can't switch off when she's home, just having nightmares all the time 😥

I'd say they'll be a lot of people suffering mentally after this:(
 
Spoke to my pal who is a nurse in a central London hospital today. She said contrary to what your might expect it's very much a 'calm before the storm' atmosphere. They aren't overwhelmed, which is great to hear, she even says it's quieter than usual because of routine appointments being cancelled. But at the same time there's the ominous sense of something on the horizon.

Reminds me of that terrible film pearl harbour. You see the nurses all bored our of their minds in the very white very quiet hospital and its pretty effective when you know what's coming.... Later in the film it's all chaos blood and death

my friend works in a Salisbury hospital said exactly the same - calm before the storm, all non-essential ops cancelled.... but they’re building a temporary morgue in the car park ... chilling.

My trusty local GP has said the same , he's in charge of the test centre at the hospital and he's said it's quieter than predicted.. that people doing what they're supposed to has had a big impact already...I hope for a different ending though..

Apparently a&e numbers are massively down too, perhaps a realisation for people that many things are not that serious and warrant an a&e visit.

median age of confirmed cases is 46. I think median age of deaths was 79 but I couldn’t be sure.

seems to be the same up here ,even younger for confirmed cases as I think students in the uni in Belfast etc ...wonder are the fatalities all in a caring environment (home carers or residential ) would explain the spread and fatalities amongst that age group ?
 
I was on an acas webinar yesterday hmrc haven’t released all details on the job retention scheme, they won’t until the end of April 🙄

Excatly the same at the hospital in work in. Very empty wards, not much going on... Trying to enjoy this "break" as it's going to get crazy in the next week or so (expecting to)

I had a Next VIP sale slot last week. I usually order loads but didn’t bother for the first time ever. The logistics of having several parcels coming to my home and then any returns being collected from my door just seemed too risky. This was before lockdown. One less thing to worry about.



3 more weeks? Sadly, I think you’re being optimistic there. 😔
