I really don’t understand why anyone who is able to do so, wouldn’t do it
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.
We are tucked in the corner of a cul-de-sac so can only see 8 of the 12 properties including our own.
Of those 8 only 5 of us were out one other is empty at present so 5 from 7 that I know about made the effort (People opposite had an old football rattle, remember those ? )

Was chatting with one of my cousins yesterday (from 2 metres +), he's a full time fireman but volunteered to be a first responder for he Ambulance service. Is on call with a bleeper system but as yet to be needed so makes me think its not yet got too bad around here, certainly not heard of anyone.

Just wanted to add that whilst myself and 95% of all our staff are working from home our pilots, operations staff and maintenace dept are continuiung to work everyday. Unfortunately those people who require crucial specialist live saving treatment still need to to avail of our Air Ambulance along with the supporting medical staff.

I've got a couple of mates who have volunteered for NHS service and nothing has happened yet. I think they've been so inundated - nearly a million people in the UK have offered their services - that it's all taking a long time to process. They probably need admin volunteers to sort it out
Heard of the first local (Selby) death yesterday.
Not someone I know personally but next doors daughter worked with him.
Certainly brings it home to reality when you hear of locals.
