up till now i have generally received (on average) one or two nuisance calls a day –sometimes more, sometimes none.
although retired, i was out of the house about 20% of the time, but now that i’m home 100% of the time, i haven’t received a single nuisance call since the lockdown.
is this just me, or is covid19 having a sever impact of their incomes?
I used to get calls every day from low-life scumbags in India, pretending to be my telephone & internet provider or Microsoft. I won't say how, but I came up with a unique way to stop them calling me. Peace.
I conned the con-artists. That's my thought!
some people i know have not gone out of their houses in weeks.
some will walk near their homes and run right back in.
meanwhile, i go food shopping and i see tons of people, many with masks and gloves on..
For those in the U.K. at least -
“...the law doesn't require walking to be local - nor does it ban you from driving to the countryside to go walking.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-52106843
A driver in England - charged for driving his car because he was bored sitting in the house.
I'll go for a drive to where I do my walking!

@ cofty - I was repeating the wording of an earlier response, not agreeing with it!

@ s&n - Just passing on the U.K. government's insulting, infuriating, and dangerous misinformation!
Should we doubt any of their actions & thinking regarding Covid 19?
@ Simon - "they are guessing and it's reckless to proclaim the results while the pandemic is still developing and spreading"
Totally agree. There is absolutely no unanimity regarding crucial Covid 19 data amongst those termed as "experts." Hindsight will praise a few and slap many others.
let's talk about predictions.
"woooh, gaze into my crystal ball ...
woooo!!!".
@ stan - a very astute 92 year old gentleman relative has stated a similar point - the E.U. countries are imposing their own laws and guarding their own borders - from each other! He reckons it's not good.
Apparently, 67% of Italians who were asked, said that they didn't believe the E.U. was good for Italy.

i was raised in this sect, 1st gen. was isolated from any family.
had suicidal attempts because of this sect.
family as always instead of being a backbone of support, victim blamed.
Welcome YA. You sound as though you are determined to be a survivor instead of a victim - good for you!
Keep that good attitude and you'll not only have a better life for yourself, but you'll inspire others to improve their lives too.

hey all,.
i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.
i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.
Thanks for your advice Snare, and I hope you make a quick and full recovery to help others.
I now wonder if/when the authorities will ban all public transport & taxis which are veritable nurseries for such a deadly virus. 'Planes are still bringing thousands of people (untested) from all over the world into Heathrow Airport every day - including from the USA, Italy, China & the far east. https://www.heathrow.com/arrivals
In the UK, If just going for a drive in your car either alone or with your family is dangerous, surely travelling on 'planes and other forms of transport (with air-conditioning!) with strangers is even more so?
