    Working from home but have done for many years so no real change for me. Listed as a key worker too.

    The only difference I've noticed is that with everyone else working from home and the kids being off school my broadband and VPN is a lot slower than normal.

    Working from home remotely and will be the same for the next 8-9 weeks. However, to move on after that we are relying on kit made in China being delivered on site. Not expecting that to happen anytime soon, so may be "redeployed" then.

    Still at work (Postman) and now classed as a key worker. Some staff are now starting to call in sick with the virus so who knows what will happen.

    Retired is not an option, which I'm sure applies to several on here.

    Oh piss off I'm not changing it again.
    I suppose it should really include 'unemployed anyway' too actually

    Stock controller at cold store so classed as key worker.

    Pallets of fresh meat are flying through, a lot of orders getting cancelled as the end users are being closed or not running (pubs and airlines).

    Plenty of food to go round if we are given the chance to deliver it and get it on the shelves and if supermarkets start to limit certain things

    None of the above. I doubt I will be working much though in this period of social isolation.

    I've added it as an option because I'm such a caring nice person

    Working from home as of the middle/end of last week (but my remote login didn't work properly, and so I had to go on Thursday and Friday to get it fixed.)

    A couple of weeks ago, they were prevaricating about whether or not to let us work from home, so I booked off the nearest full week with no holidays booked, and that happens to be this week, as a kind of protest.

    I have left the house once since Friday, to go to the shop. I am not Mister Bleeding Social Butterfly, but even I am finding it hard.

    Absolutely nothing I can do. Been told to work from home unless absolutely critical I need to be in. Not been in since 11th March. Some video conferencing and a bit of planning for events that’ll never happen. Missus works in primary school so been helping them move stuff over to the hub school they’re using for key-workers’ kids. Lots of long walks on the moors; just me and the dog, blitzed the office at home, cellar tomorrow.

    We’ve all got mild sore throats and sore eyes - had it for a week or so, but no other symptoms, so if this is it, we’ve got off mildly.
