In Response To His Announcement

[Mumofoneandanotherontheway]

I work as a sales consultant at a well known Storage company, would that count as essential after his announcement today? Currently we are still open & im commuting via public transport.

You are supposed to stay at home

No. It's not essential.

No, of course not. Stay at home.

Seriously?

You should be home.

What is happening with MOT tests? Mine is due at end of month and I need my car to avoid using public transport.

No it isn’t essential. Essential is emergency services, food shop, and pharmacies. Nothing else should be essential. I would stay at home if I could but I can’t. I will be going to work tomorrow and so will dh. We just have to hope one of us doesn’t show symptoms or we will both have to stay home.

Unless you're storing ventilators and you're the only one with a key! stay at home your job is totally non essential (no offence)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You've made an old "extremely vulnerable" woman laugh a lot!

When I was listening he said you could go to work. He didn't say only key workers can go to work!?

If I think he was referring to nhs, supermarket staff, etc. Ie those who work for services that can stay open.

I am off with the children now anyway (unpaid) but my work is still open (hotel) and my colleagues are still expected to go to work. I was hoping a hotel would be "non essential" and be shut down so I could get some help with my wages.

Update: so we are still open & trading as normal which is quiet horrendous seen’s hardly any customers are coming in. They put how they are so concerned for the colleagues welfare but actually I don’t think they are. Hardly a essential place to be open in my eyes! Thought I’d pop on here during my lunch break.
