I work for myself delivering mainly to customers in the hospitality industry, no pubs open means I have lost 95% of my customers until they reopen.

Luckily today the few places that are still open had a delivery but it was odd driving around with little or no traffic. For the first time ever I have to watch out for the speed cameras, not usually a problem due to the traffic.

I hope he comes up with a deal for the self employed soon.

Scary times for us all.

As a 77 year old - but fit and healthy - some of my family say I should not be going shopping, BUT I think it is very selfish. I will not put anyone else at risk on my behalf.

Working remotely is part of the job so no change here.

My job, apart from Christmas day and sometimes new years day never stops, come rain or shine or anything else that gets thrown at it including this pandemic. I take mobile MRI, PET/CT, CT scanners around the many hospitals of this fine land during the night, and set them up so that they can be used the next day, often having to put them where it was never designed for an artic to get to.
A cracking and very satisfying job.

As a health service officer i am attending at the Airport to advise travellers of the recommendations of the Department of Health re. Corona Virus.

However, the airport is diminishing in numbers so this cannot be sustained - may be redeployed to Dublin Port to "catch" the sea passengers!

Take care everyone and keep up the fluid levels - drink water and eat fruit...

I'm still heading up our Northern office, but we're based from home (Mat here) - Scott is still accessing the unit but he's alone there so no risk.

My partner is a nurse in a care home, so it's rather inevitable it'll be brought home with her one day - just making sure I'm in tip top health to hopefully battle it off.

So far, so good!
