Despite the PPE she was clearly a wid so not all bad. I don't have any respiratory symptoms but after headaches, sore throat, muscle aches and a bit of a temp I left work early yesterday. Could be just have a normal viral urti but will see though that is most likely. Been a few folk off in my place but have all tested negative, but as we have seen about 30% of tests are coming back false negative. Hopefully negative though and I can get back to work pronto. Fingers crossed it’s not Covid and just a cold or something. Best wishes Edited April 15, 2020 by Jambomo Abysmal typing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know what happened but I ended up making a noise like I was auditioning for a role in an opera. Either that or it was the noise a constipated hyena would make I really shouldn't be let out the house. Did it sound like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream There's a wee clip of it.

ScotGov should've taken a different approach - we should have followed WHO guidelines and our closest Euro neighbours. My beef with Findlay is that I can't remember him saying this six weeks ago and it smacks of the usual Labour opportunism. I wouldn't group Findlay in with the usual suspects given that he's spent the last 4 months getting increasingly snide with Baillie and co. They hate him and it shows whenever they interact these days. I'm sad to see him go actually as he's one of the few active Labour MSPs that doesn't strike me as a careerist melt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 No queue at Asda for the first time since this all started.

MONKMAN Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Why did you get tested? Did your work pay for it?Yes, my work paid for it prior to going offshore. Still waiting on the results, before I’m allowed to go tomorrow. It was a drive up test station at a medical centre in cults, after which I had to drive straight to my hotel and isolate in my room. I’ve spent the last 3 days getting paid overtime, to order room service and w**k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted this earlier 3 hours ago, welshbairn said: BP showing their customary care for following health and safety best practice. Quote BP has confirmed that an oil worker who was tested for coronavirus before flying offshore had to be flown back after the results came back positive. The worker flew to the Etap platform last week after undergoing a test in Aberdeen. BP says they were flown ashore on Saturday. A total of 12 people who travelled with the worker are now self-isolating on the installation. BP says the test was carried out under a temporary "test and fly" arrangement but it has now changed its procedures so workers' coronavirus test results are known before they fly offshore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
