I felt bad enough phoning on Friday with a temp well over 39. AND I’d been audibly questioning in the office about why we hadn’t been directed to work from home. But I’ve not eaten since Thursday night and slept most of the time since then. Good to know uncharitable people will think I’m skiving ;)

My workplace has advised anyone who comes in with symptoms will be suspended immediately. Depending on how far UK measures go they may even be reported to the police. This policy is being replicated by a number of big international companies so be careful if you work in a big organisation.
