Can you pass on my thanks, please?

 

Shes doing an amazing and often thankless job and they deserve so much respect. The Americans often thank passing Armed Forces Personnel with a 'thank you for your service' right now (as always) the NHS workers deserve the same level of respect and gratitude from us. 

 

I think with 400,000 people volunteering to assist in this pandemic shows how much the UK truly appreciated the work they do.

Been thinking today,, how is going to want us after all this stops, tree work is not essential to a lot of gardens if money is tight and it's going to be extra tight.

For sure- for me I think the long term implications of all this is probably more concerning than the virus itself . Severe economic global depression I reckon with far reaching consequences, It’d be nice to think that there will be a reduction in  globalisation and countries could aim to become more self sufficient and content with what we have here rather than all this ridiculous travelling all over the place, everyday foods in supermarkets coming half way round the world etc...

Well I came home yesterday on sick. I work for the NHS on maintenance, beginning of week felt crap, Tuesday night, got no sleep at all, banging headache and a head cold, couldn't breath blocked nose etc, went into work Wednesday morning, explained to boss, told him what I had, and that I didn't want to pass in on to anyone else so I was going home. He wasn't happy at all, but with what's happening at the moment, didn't want to risk it. Will go back in Monday. Have heard the other lads have been told to expect to move dead bodies at some stage, strange times.
