That was on the Guardian live blog yesterday, a supermarket delivery worker told her boss she had symptoms and was told to stay at home for two weeks. She can't afford that.

Mate of mine has just got back from northern Italy after doing a gig out there. He feels fine. Should he self-isolate?

Mate of mine has just got back from northern Italy after doing a gig out there. He feels fine. Should he self-isolate? He says no. I’m self-employed, with two good paying jobs coming up. Who’s gonna pay me to stay indoors and not earn anything for a fortnight?
And that’s the point. In London in particular, with our shitty gig economy, no-one can afford to take time off just in case. If Covid-19 hits London then it’ll spread like buggery. Tough shit, I say.
