The question being, esprit's son who lives with them regarding quarantine. You are twisting words to suit your own argument. We all know what we have to do to keep safe, it's basic commonsense, but if you want to see people who are actually doing as you've stated, just look at the hooligans rampaging over beaches and through towns. They are the ones that don't care. Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone else in the house shows symptoms they have to self isolate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a bit flustered when I told him I was thinking of getting 98 of them . He put the phone down when he asked me "what sort I would like" and I said "Microsoft" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably you can travel from a place with a high CV19 rate, stay in a house with family members, potentially infect these family members, who will be continuing their normal lives, thus potentially infecting hundreds of others. Sheer nincompoopery! Isn't the term self isolating sufficiently succinct for you wowzz? I take that to mean that you ensure you keep apart from other non isolating family members, so that you don't spread the infection. Simples?

Rare DamianG Posted August 13, 2020 #4119 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Another day, another job application rejection for me (I've stopped counting now so don't know how many that is). It was a Civil Service position and at least they have the courtesy to inform you that you have been unsuccessful. They also gave some extra information stating that there had been 6000 (yes - six thousand) applicants 🤯 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also keep looking for your qualified job ,never give up. Things are hard with the recession and there are airline pilots working as delivery drivers until they get back into their ideal jobs again . One day you will get the job you desire ,never give up and good luck for the next application . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
