Yes they did, I've seen anecdotal reports of people returning to ireland and then showing symptoms of the virus. It may have been mentioned further up this thread.

Its more than anecdotal, Cheltenham is being pinpointed as the biggest reason for it spreading in Ireland, along with Dubliners heading across country to their holiday homes

it looks like the guidelines have changed but I'd imagine it's in response to pressure from Employers. The original guidelines did seem a bit restrictive.
There's a bit more flexibility now which makes sense.
It was certainly a bit busier than I thought it would be on the way in this morning though still a long way off what it would be on a normal working day.

I think you're back for the duration now then, nobody can claim unless someone has been furloughed for a minimum of three weeks, so they now won't be able to claim now for the period of time you were not at work (unless it was for 3 weeks? Time feels distorted these days )

I 've been called back before the 3 weeks is up and I strongly suspect I'll be out again before the end of next week.
This contradicted the initial guidelines I was sent so I e-mailed HR for confirmation and contacted the union and apparently they guidelines have changed.
If it hasn't I've got correspondence from the company and the union telling me is has so I'm covered anyway!

Got paid today, including the 80% of salary for when not working, surprisingly smooth.

Only thing is that they’re entitled to deduct the days not worked from their contribution towards the yearly annual leave allowance, (I get 2.8 days a month so will lose 1.4 days a month based on what I’m doing now).

Apparently the scheme has been in existence for a while, hence why it seems to have gone relatively smoothly for Italy.

I read it to see what kind of crackpot he is.

But his numbers could be correct. That would be a surprise in what has happened in China. It would mean they are being more truthful than we all think. We are learning more as we go along with this virus. Italy locked down hard but it continued to spread until the 40 days like he said. It even looks like we are starting to peak. And we haven't had a serious lockdown.

But yes it could still be a crackpot idea.

761 I thought it would be higher than that. Let's hope it's not a outlier.

Just unbelievable.

This whole time we've been releasing patients from hospital into care homes without testing them.

I mean, fucking hell.

It is indefensible now, this government has blood on it's hands.

Same for all the other health workers doing the same.

28 year old pregnant nurse has died from CV, baby delivered by c-section has survived for now. How tragic:

I assume that the next person up for murder of an elderly person can make that sort of defence to plea for a lesser sentence!

How can you defend this?

They've been letting people go from hospital into the most vulnerable settings without testing them. It's utterly scandalous.

You literally cannot have a bad word said about the government can you, no matter how true it is.

Dim is a product of his environment, plenty of people about who only really recall this dreadful government and their expectations are therefore very low.

Is the little prick defending releasing potentially infected patients into environments chocka with the eldest and most vulnerable without testing them first?

I've been waiting for someone in government to issue a correction over what Hancock said as it seems unthinkable that we were actually sending infected people into social care with some of the most vulnerable in society. Goes beyond incompetence.

Are todays likely to be lower 'weekend' type numbers because of the bank holiday and then a jump tomorrow? Cautiously optimistic if these are regular numbers. The next problem will be there is no sign of an exit plan.
