I entirely agree. Getting very close to home. A near neighbour, otherwise healthy as far as I know and only in his early fifties, fell ill on Wednesday and is now in hospital in a coma fighting for life. There may be adverse effects of all of this for football in general and ICT in particular but another year in the Championship, part time football or even administration are as nothing just now. Some things, in fact right now, almost everything is more important than the fate of a football club. Once again, stay safe everyone and look out for each other particularly the most vulnerable and be brave enough to call out the tiny minority who do not think the rules apply to them.

We work in mental health Wouldn't call ourselves 'front line' Yet we can't work from home And don't have a closing time Corona got us anxious Frightened and depressed Everyone is scared Everyone is stressed I don't just mean the patient's I'm referring to the staff Sleep's a distant memory We used to have a laugh For our patients it's a struggle And some won't understand Despite running on empty We'll emotionally lend a hand Trying to alleviate The anxiety of others When no-one's taking ours away And we want to see our mothers We work in mental health Unsure if we're 'front line' But Corona doesn't only choose Those that feel mentally fine Mental health won't wait Until this storm has passed Care and treatment still required And some people need it fast We understand we're not Priority for PPE But this virus could get you This virus could get me We might be feeling broken Whilst trying to care for you We'll try to keep on smiling But we miss our families too And when the storm is over The battle for us will start Trying to pick up the pieces And heal the broken hearts We work in mental health Would you call us a front line body? We'll try to carry on Whilst frustratingly rationing the voddie

I no bud guess the government thinks guys who started jobs after that date have no bills or mouths to feed eh crazy stuff! Specially in this day and age when most jobs are short term

I never really experienced anxiety until I walked down the corridor to the A&E Department to do an assessment. No trolleys queued up, no punters sitting in numbers on chairs, few staff in the main area but the corridor has warning signs and notices saying "Major Coronavirus - Do not enter" on ward doors closed down to accommodate. And then I remember that I am NOT "frontline" or in the "trenches". I am proud to be a supporting footsoldier. Make no mistake Covid-19 is a "killer". Stay safe out there people, stay at home and do NOT go to A&E unless you really need to. BUT utilize the large number of call lines available and do not bottle things up.
