I told you this yesterday. But you keep repeating it.
Low-risk, not zero-risk.
I'll second that.
Is anybody choosing to self isolate -or know a family member that is?

I have a charcoal lined NBC suit, just missing the mask but I thought it would be fun to wear that walking through Asda to collect some toilet roll
Well, the MIL is self isolating because she had a very bad cough. She's got everyone else running round like proverbial blue arsed flies. Of course, she’s not happy with just sausages. They have to be pork and honey sausages. From the Co-op! She’s got my wife getting those plus some pearl barley (!), the wife’s sister and brother have been tasked with 3 other obscure items each. Plus she has a couple of friends fetching and carrying. All to be left on the doorstep. They’re putting their feet down next week - one shop for her and that’s it for the week!
She could always move in with you and the wife Mottie???

Had a Tesco delivery tonight and the chap stacked up the crates outside my doorstep and took 3 paces back when I opened the door.
"Bring them straight through" said I as I always do.
"Sorry guvnor can't do it anymore"
"What if I was a 90 year old pensioner, would you still leave them there for me to struggle with"
He didn't give an answer, just stood there watching me haul the crates in myself.
As expected many listed items were 'not available' so I wonder how those who cannot leave the house or have close family/friends will cope.

Well, our son who works for Fords has been laid off for a month so my wife won’t have to look after our grandson once a week. Our daughter and her fiancé are both working from home. Because of that my wife, being in a high risk group, has decided she’s going to self isolate for 12 weeks unless they can move her out of the crowded office into one of the empty ones they have or be allowed to work from home. No point in her being double cautious and crossing the road to avoid other walkers, not going to the shops, not visiting our son or daughter, grandchild or parents and then sitting in a space three times a week with three others that don’t have a metre between them. If they sack her, they sack her. So what? Because of that, I’m going to tell the schools that it’s pointless her self isolating if I’m not. Going to try to be as careful as we can and only go out to the shops when I absolutely have to.
Mottie- if your son a mechanic or salesman?

The present situation reminds me of the story of Eyam, a village in Derbyshire, which is famous for isolating itself during the Bubonic Plague, and successfully preventing the spread of the disease to the north of England.

Nah. He works on the line pulling random engines off and testing that they have been built to correct spec.
I had a tour around the Southampton site before they stopped production, there was a guy there taking van bit a part with a bolster and chisel, he was checking the welds.
Very interesting tour.
