The Friendly Dalek Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) A signed item has arrived in the post today, but I can't do anything with it because I'm not allowed to open it, due to being quarantined to my room thanks to illness. Gives me an excuse to watch more Doctor Who though. Edited April 5, 2020 by The Friendly Dalek 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't actually any item from that auction, it's something else. Although I do still want that annual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you were able to open it today I'd advise waiting to be honest - any post that comes into my house goes in a spare bin outside for 3 days.

I haven't heard of anyone doing that before actually, that's not a bad idea. I don't think it's corona myself, but there are some shared symptoms, a cough and a temperature for example. The main concern for me is work. My work place hasn't been shut during this lockdown, the only places I've been in the last couple weeks have been work and home, meaning if this is corona it's highly likely I got it from work, which isn't great for the people still working there.

It may seem extreme but I think it's only sensible given that the virus can linger, of course it gets complicated if you have a lot of deliveries arriving, as it should be 3 days from when the last item goes in so you might need a couple of bins! My kitchen table is also a quarantine zone so any food that comes in that I can't wash and doesn't need refrigerating also gets a 3 day time out. With symptoms like that I think it's safer to assume it's corona unfortunately so it's just as well you are playing it safe. It does suck about work and probably means others will come down with it but hopefully not badly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least at work we have some super strength anti bacterial spray. Being a bit OCD with cleanliness I can now get away with spraying shared items every time someone uses them without appearing weird. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of polar-ising viewpoints and you wouldn't want to panda to pressure from either side without thinking it through care-fur-ly. That would be a political Boo Boo and sure to make many feel grizzly. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
