It’s a no from me!

Not a fucking chance.

I'd certainly have looked into it before having children but now with a young family, possibly selfishly, I couldn't imagine doing it!

They are doing my area but I think I'll leave it until it's been thoroughly tested.

I just wondered if the people who are “sobbing and shaking” over someone buying non-essentials in the supermarket are going to volunteer. Or the Stasi officers who make notes of when their neighbours leave the house.

Ooh you can't do it if breastfeeding anyway, so that's me out.

My areas not mentioned,I would consider it otherwise.

Or the people who decree that you can’t sick on a park bench and have a snack...any volunteers from you?

Looks like easy money, thanks for the link.

Not a chance in hell!

you can’t sick on a park bench and have a snack

If you're sicking on a park bench I think you should probably just go home.

Can’t I have a heart condition so not eligible

@PanicOnTheStreets85

Applied but wasn’t eligible.

It’ll sadly be made up mostly of people desperate for the money

God give it a rest. Stasi officers . You're just as bad and are contributing to the problem

It is not that unusual - there is Flu Camp. Not sure I like the idea of being injected with a vaccine but I might if I was fit and carefree.

No because DS is 6 and I'm a single parent so it's not possible for me to leave him to go and do medical trials.

If I didn't have a child I 100% would do it as I'm fit and healthy.

Definitely, I wish I lived closer to a testing area.

I’m the wrong part of London but would definitely have considered if not.

No thank you Had it already. Happy to donate antibodies though

Hopefully the worried well are going to be first in line so they can leave their houses without peeing their pants in fear

They are doing my area but I think I'll leave it until it's been thoroughly tested

They'd hardly be calling for test volunteers once through testing was complete!

I can't - I don't live near enough to any of the trials

Too old but we’re near Imperial so will forward link to my student daughter she might be interested .

My area isn't mentioned

Happy to donate antibodies though

Youcan do this when you give blood - they've been emailing reguiar donors to ask, and I expect would register new ones for thus purpose

Yes, I am applying. Not via blood donor list though but direct. Interesting that they are testing blood donors. I was put off donating blood as I had been ill. I'll ask them what their policy is.
