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

Just wondering.

Yes, my brother. He grinds coffee beans.

Absolutely an essential job. Night shift is fuelled by caffeine and sugar.

Me, NHS hospital admin. It’s a very strange place right now!

It is fancy hipster coffee. I doubt they serve it in hospitals.

DH teacher
DM in supermarket

DH works in residential child care. these children can’t stay at home...they need to be safe. And they need the staff to care for them. I am high risk asthmatic. I just hope he doesn’t pick anything up in work. He can’t possibly stay off for 3 months. These children need to be cared for

Maintenence manager in a cereal production factory. As its food production and his team ensure the factory keeps productions up he is deemed necessary, although they've let all the subcontractors go as no work.

Yup. DH works for the emergency services.
I'm NHS, but only clinical frontline once weekly on a rota basis, so just out of the house then.

Pharmaceutical lab testing new drugs, not essential but following government guidelines as cannot wfh

DH is an engineering shift manager at a large dairy/cheese producer, he’s now got 6 days off, 2 days holiday and 4 off as normal, he was really expecting to be asked to cancel his hols but they are coping well, despite 20% staff absence atm.
I gave up work at Xmas to look after 7 month old DGS, DD is a teacher but doesn’t have to go into school as they have very few kids in, so I’m at home but will be shopping for my Sister who is at risk so self isolating.
DD’s partner works in IT security and is going in to the office with one other person, all other staff are WFH.
As far as I know, SiL, BiL and nephews are all still working despite not being key workers in any way.

DH works emergency services control room.

My daughter is a self employed gardener and works alone so away from people

Community AHP keeping patients well and supplied with essential equipment and medicines so they don’t become an extra burden to hospitals

Yes. Husband is a nurse... it worries me so much because my 1yo was under review for asthma and has been in hospital with chest infections before.. but she hasnt got the government letter so he still has ti work.. its mental health tho so not in the main hospital which is slightly less worrying.. but he still comes into contact with loads of people in a day

HGV driver, he's been delivering medical supplies all over the country.

DH is a groundsman for a private school. They've condensed his hours to reduce breaks and social interactions. They already have their own tools and machinery is cleaned after use. They call each other from across the field. He comes home earlier, still gets paid.

DP furloughed, Dsis is pharmacist working all hours. Have ordered her luxury handcream to be delivered. Poor souls hands are raw. DP not volunteering locally as I am autoimmune. I WFH.

Yep I'm a cleaner at Royal Mail.

@FatimaLovesBread - Yup. DH is a metal fabricator and still at work confused

I'm work in pharmaceuticals and would be in work were I not off sick with Covid 19 and it's related complications

So why is your husband in work if you have Covid 19?!!!

Both dh and I both still have to work. I’m a GP receptionist and dh is a postman.

DH is. He is an agronomist. Spring is his busiest time of the year.

Yes. Dp is in engineering. No sign of them shutting. He said he doesn’t feel safe at work at all and is chronic asthmatic, as is our 9yr old dd.
