Is anyone in your family still going out to work every day? What do they do?

[ruby2019missyou]

Just wondering.

Yes, dh is a postman. There are currently 28 off out of 58 in this office. Self isolating or sick.

DH and kids all home, I'm NHS ( medical secretary at a large hospital).

DD works for nhs and was going until today as now she has to isolate due to me having a temp last night. Feel like I've been run over by a bus, not left my bed all day.

DH is a mechanic however now with the new rules regarding MOT's and not leaving the house, they're doing very little however remaining open with full staffing. Worrying me sick, I'm vulnerable and we have a young baby.

Me and my mum are NHS and my dad delivers NHS sterile supplies. My partner is a camera operator and he is off until at least June. I am worried about my mum and I wish she did a different job.

DH is still going to work, he is front line Ambulance crew/staff. he's an ECA (emergency care assistant).

It scares me A LOT.

Two teachers and supermarket worker ( student but working through this crisis).

Yes, both of us.

Refuse collector and residential care worker.

Hi @z0fl0ra because of gdpr any customer facing workers can’t

Dh works for a tool hire company, diggers and porta loos that kind of thing. Most construction sites cant get suppliers as they are shutting down. So hopefully dh work will be shutting down soon

My DH does building work for an insurance company ( people who have been flooded etc) he still being made to go in for minor stuff like repairing fences etc. Which to be fair could wait a few weeks/ tiling bathroom etc!!
It involves going into houses after picking up materials from suppliers.
Some customers are using common sense, refusing tradesmen and are prepared to wait, while others think its essential they get their jobs done asap.
He asked for some annual leave and was refused.
Absolutely crazy, it seems like everyone just carrying on as normal with the exception of very few.
As he only been in job 3 months ge doesnt feel like he can say anything.
Greed and money before lives.
For those of you doing essential roles or being forced to work, you are so brave and my heart goes out to you.

Yes, cleaner in supermarket, two cleaners in care homes, traffic warden. Most people I know are actually still working.

Just me, I'm a nurse.

DH is wfh and kids are having remote lessons.

Dh works in a residential setting for ld adults. They can’t close. Ds2 works night shift in supermarket.

D

Police officer, teacher and someone who works in transport for a supermarket all out at work, all concerned about lack of preventative measures in place.

High street bank, reduced hours.

Dh is a doctor in Cape Town, he has spent all of his work time discharging patients who can go home to free up beds and equipment ready for when the cases start coming in.

Both still working.
Most people I know still are.

OH is a gas engineer. Is meant to be doing emergency work only but is frequently arriving at jobs to find the customer has exaggetated their problem and just wants a radiator looked at etc
Worries me he is in and out of strangers houses all day long

Yes, my brother. He grinds coffee beans.

Yep me. NHS Admin, DB1 postman and DB2 cash collection/delivery to shops and cash points so hardly any work.

DH is in financial services. He is one of 5 in his office out of about a thousand who has to be at his desk. He's had the worst couple of weeks in 27 years. I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd had a heart attack last week, driving in, working for 14 hours straight then having to drive home under enormous pressure. We've been told he's not a real key worker though!

My DH, call centre for a bank and been deemed essential. I have been furloughed. We have all been isolating for 10 days though.

Yes, my brother. He grinds coffee beans.

Pretty essential to be fair
