“ It just seems ridiculous to announce this news , when virtually every wall has a notice telling you to self isolate if you have any signs of coronavirus .

HIGH STREET chain Wilko have confirmed they are to scrap sick pay for their employees after their first absence – with the firm claiming that the decision has been made in a bid to stop workers from “taking advantage” of their policy on sick pay.
Evolve Politics reports that Wilko, who employ over 20,000 staff members in over 400 stores across the UK, have written a letter to all employees telling them that from the 1st April this year they will only be entitled to one paid period of sick leave per year, according to Mirror Money.
The move comes despite growing fears over the increasing spread of Coronavirus, and just days after the Government announced plans to give self-isolating workers sick pay from their first day off and admitting that up to a fifth of all workers across the country could be forced to take time off sick.
Understandably then, Wilko’s new policy is worrying staff. With the fear of a coronavirus pandemic escalating, as well as employees who need time off to care for children or those with chronic illnesses, Wilko’s impending change to their sick pay policy has encountered criticism.
One employee told the Mirror: “It’s really worrying knowing you may not get paid. Many workers who have young children and elderly family are especially worried because they can’t afford it. It also means working when you are unwell – and possibly spreading illnesses to workmates.

• None GOV.UK : information on coronavirus and the situation in the UK

THE ExCeL Centre in East London will be converted into a new NHS hospital, Matt Hancock has announced.
The Health Secretary said a quarter of a million people are needed to assist with the national effort to tackle coronavirus, help the NHS and support the vulnerable.
He said more than 35,000 extra NHS staff have already joined up to help fight against the virus, including retired doctors and nurses returning to the service and final year students.
Mr Hancock also confirmed that a temporary hospital – the NHS Nightingale hospital – would be opening at London’s ExCeL centre.
It comes after the Government faced criticism over its policy on workers, with pictures of packed London Tube trains appearing on social media on Tuesday.
In measures announced on Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told people to only go to work if “absolutely necessary”.
But on Tuesday, Mr Hancock said those who cannot work from home, including key workers in the NHS and social care, should go to work “to keep the country running”.
UK Coronavirus deaths have hit a staggering 422 with 88 deaths in just 24 hours.
The figures show why Boris was forced to lockdown Britain amid the horror crisis.
STOP THE SPREAD
Stay at home
Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (where this absolutely cannot be done from home)
Stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people
Wash your hands as soon as you get home
COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a virus called coronavirus.
Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading
Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
This includes people of all ages – even if you do not have any symptoms or other health conditions.
You can only leave your home:
to shop for basic essentials – only when you really need to
to do one form of exercise a day – such as a run, walk or cycle, alone or with other people you live with
for any medical need – for example, to visit a pharmacy or deliver essential supplies to a vulnerable person
to travel to and from work – but only where this is absolutely necessary
What to do if you have coronavirus symptoms
Continue to stay at home if you have either:
a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.

GREEDY FATCAT

The greedy Newcastle owner, who is loathed entirely is disregarded the health of his own workforce in a bid to profiteer in times of national emergency.
Mike Ashely is just as toxic as the virus that is killing hundreds of Britons and thousands across the world.
His money-grabbing scheme to profit amid the national emergency was covered-up with claims of ‘stocking sports equipment.’ despite the Government calling on non-essential establishments to shut – including gyms, pubs, restaurants, playgrounds and other stores – even McDonald’s, KFC, Costa Coffee and Starbucks and Nandos shuttered up shop across the UK in an unprecedented move.
The company said: “We stock a huge range of sports equipment designed for exercising at home … indeed, home fitness is the number one trending topic on social media after coronavirus itself.”
Against the backdrop of the closure of gyms, the demand for these types of products has increased exponentially as the population looks to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
“Consequently, we are uniquely well placed to help keep the UK as fit and healthy as possible during this crisis and thus our Sports Direct and Evans Cycles stores will remain open where possible to allow us to do this (in accordance with the government’s current social distancing guidance).”
“There is no one else that has the range of product and range of stores to make this reasonably accessible for the whole population.”

Another user tweeted: “how much money could we free up for the NHS, if we confiscated any wealth held by the royals and #abolishthemonarchy with immediate effect? When this crisis is over we could turn some of the properties into museums and tourist attractions to make money for all people.”
Another said: “Charles has mild symptoms, he’s tested when there is no test for the people or the hospital staff & he goes to Scotland.His son moves to take photos with staff who have to stop working to satisfy their need for recognition & he jokes about a #Covid_19 “
Whist another was angry Charles had recently visited Scotland: “The journalists reporting on prince charles makes you fucking sick. If it wasnt bad enough he has endangered others by coming to scotland (not his primary residence) , theres an army of journalists who have travelled just to report outside a fucking gate. #abolishthemonarchy”

There are a number of reasons for the transport network seeming so busy : the first is that there are still a lot of people who need to get to work , whether because they are key workers , or working on construction sites which are remaining open .
But the second is that the Underground is operating a reduced service , and so commuters are having to cram into fewer trains .
Boris Johnson can talk about two metres worth of social distancing all he wants but saying nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cramming into a Tube carriage next to healthcare workers who will have been exposed to the virus on an hourly basis is not enough .
Then there ’ s the call for healthy members of the public to volunteer for the NHS .
Why don ’ t all the MPs volunteer ?

In 2002, amid the SARS outbreak, top-secret documents released revealed that the Ministry of Defence turned large parts of Britain in laboratories during WW2 up to 1979.
The government report revealed for the first time that the British Government conducted trials on its own people releasing toxic chemicals and micro-organisms into the air.
The Guardain reported: “Many of these tests involved releasing potentially dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms over vast swaths of the population without the public being told.”
“While details of some secret trials have emerged in recent years, the 60-page report reveals new information about more than 100 covert experiments.”
“The report reveals that military personnel were briefed to tell any ‘inquisitive inquirer’ the trials were part of research projects into weather and air pollution.”
“The tests, carried out by government scientists at Porton Down, were designed to help the MoD assess Britain’s vulnerability if the Russians were to have released clouds of deadly germs over the country.”
“In most cases, the trials did not use biological weapons but alternatives which scientists believed would mimic germ warfare and which the MoD claimed were harmless.”
“But families in certain areas of the country who have children with birth defects are demanding a public inquiry.”
“One chapter of the report, ‘The Fluorescent Particle Trials’, reveals how between 1955 and 1963 planes flew from north-east England to the tip of Cornwall along the south and west coasts, dropping huge amounts of zinc cadmium sulphide on the population.”
