Coronavirus & NHS staff...

[Bubblemonkey]

I need convincing or some shit to call in tomorrow to work... I feel guilty cause I suspect it’ll be chaotic 😬😖

The boyfriends been told to isolate himself, spoke to 111. Spoke to work who said to speak to occupational health who said he needs to be off a week. They said I was fine to go in as normal providing there’s no symptoms from me. Anywho, started with a cough today with a borderline temperature (37.5), my chest has felt achey for a couple of days.

Someone please just tell me to get over myself & actually call in tomorrow...?!

You have to call in. Don’t be hesitant - it’s not an option to go to work with those symptoms, especially as you will be around vulnerable people.

Call in. It will be a lot more chaotic if you make others poorly and then take time off anyway. Look after yourself and going back will roll around before you know it.

My sickness record isn’t great. But it doesn’t even go on your sick record. I’m probably being a giant wuss 🙊

Please move to new topic?

Ask for a test. They are testing people who have chest pains.

FFS follow the guidelines and call in sick and self isolate for at least the next 7 days!

Hopefully you’ll be back at work when lots of your colleagues are going down with the virus. So don’t feel guilty. Most hospitals are still doing elective surgery tomorrow so things aren’t that chaotic yet.

I thought that on Friday, Freda, we were till they decided to cancel elective cases half way through the day

Still happening in some hospitals.

Anyway - stay at home and look after yourself. We will be needing you when you’re better.
