The ambulance chasers are starting. I had a spam email this morning about employers not providing enough PPE. If you got Covid, sue here. I know a Pharmacist and his staff currently working in masks,gloves, eye shields, disposable aprons. It took weeks for these to arrive. The (quite right) priority was Hospitals, who at the beginning didn't have enough. He had to work, including opening on the bank holidays. His wife is currently going out to do the shopping. If he gets Covid, Who does he sue?
a. His employer , who couldn't get any PPE at the start
b. The NHS for insisting they stay open with no protection
c His wife for not going out to do the food shopping in a Hazmat suit.
d The food shop, for not totally sterilising everything between each customer.
I see the RNLI are currently getting the blame for idiots caught in rip currents on beaches without lifeguards.
Easy answer. Stay off the beaches, stay at home, stay safe.
Apart from the difficulty for lifeguards of performing rescues whilst maintaining social distancing ... a large proportion of our beach lifeguards each summer are Australians who work here when the demand in Aus is less during their winter. They can’t get here even if they wanted to. 🏄🏼♀️

I see. Obviously if I tested positive I would self isolate but as I could be infected without symptoms I cannot be constantly tested. I don’t have enough information to decide but I know many people are concerned about being “ tracked” by a government they don’t trust.
You’ve still not got it ... you self isolate if you’re told you’ve been in contact with someone who has tested positive and who might have infected you. That will prevent the spread of COVID by people who are infectious but have no symptoms. If you wait until you feel ill you could already have infected others.
You won’t be ‘tracked’ ...this system isn’t the phone app that was trialled on the Isle of Wight... but the person who tests positive will be asked who they’ve had contact with and those people will be traced and contacted.

I've just seen a news flash, that there have been 1,887 new covid cases confirmed today. Doesn't seem the right time yet to send children back to school or open pubs 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
For goodness sake. If I got covid, the last thing I would be thinking about is suing someone, given the nature of the virus. I would be intent on trying to stay alive, first and foremost. If I was lucky enough to survive, I would be thanking The Lord. End of. Talk about “ Sue City.”
If I caught it by accident, of course, c'est la vie .............. if I caught it because someone had infected me because they'd not followed instructions to self-isolate I'd be bdooly furious!!!

Just heard you can visit friends and family in their back garden .....up to six people .....as from Monday. Not sure if that includes vunerable people though......which my OH is.
What constitutes “contact”? Frankly I don’t see it working as people could inadvertently or deliberately forget to mention all contacts. I repeat that I can not afford to be off work unless I have symptoms and am ill. I will not be paid even if I am unwell.
From what was said on the radio this morning ‘Contact‘ means being one metre of less from someone for a period of 15 minutes.
Then I have not been in contact with ANYONE except my son who lives with me. Even when shopping and walking,taking supplies to Mum,seeing my daughter I have never been that close to anyone for that length of time!!
