would you give up work if you were worried about catching coronavirus thorugh your work?

[EnidBlyton]

because i am contemplating this

If you are that worried you should not only give up work but also stay at home and self isolate.

Yes I think we should all give up work, travel oh and going out the house. The whole world grinds to a halt and we’re all dead of starvation.

i actually bet the front line nurses are scared shitless

I bet most of them aren’t.

but at least in NHS you get masks and protective wear.

What's your other job OP?

I'm still not sure if the OP is being serious but I would say that she is more likely to catch the virus when out and about going to Tesco or whatever than caring for the elderly. It isn't a good reason for giving up your job but that doesn't mean you shouldn't if that is why you want to do

my other job is admin

I work with someone who’s cousin was staying in Tenerife at the hotel next to the one that was quarantined. They stayed at their house a day after getting back and they felt ill. Only for 1 day though. I joked that they’ve probably the virus caught it off them but who’s to say they haven’t? The guy is going about as normal. He might have it, he might not. There must be hundreds doing this.

i only do this because I like the oldies

So don’t give it up then if you like doing it.

but i am quite frightened and there is not much to allay my fears

I work for the NHS, I'm not scared shitless. I have a job to do like most, in my opinion it has been massively overhyped.

Enidblyton please stop this I have never heard so much stupid talk in my life are you even an adult you sound like a silly child

well this is my fear
thanks for listening, or not

If you don’t need the job (as you keep mentioning!) and you’re scared then leave. Simples.

I am cabin crew. I travel all over the world, meet all kind of nationalities, and I’m not remotely worried about the virus. I’m slightly worried about getting stuck somewhere in isolation or my work hours being reduced due to people not booking holidays. Perhaps I could do your job!

I don’t quite understand why you think you’re at such risk?

You are posting a few words and not explaining what your actual fear is. You are being irrational.

The oldies.... yep give it up, stick to admin less likely to insult people with awful names there
