Well.....
Apparently their was a major outbreak at work of management testing positive for the virus. Workplace was shut down for a week and we were furloughed for the week.
We were told that we must go and get tested for covid-19 before we could return.

Whats strange is that both the NHS site and call centre both clearly state that you can only get tested if you actually have symptoms. Which I did not.
So basically I LIED on the online application for the coronavirus test application and said I had symptoms .....this was NEVER once questioned at all when I went to the test site the next day. The test site was pretty upbeat with people laughing about and telling jokes etc. They did initially tell me to keep the windows closed when entering the site....but later they were open as the guy instructed me on how to actually do the self-applied test as I sat in my car.....he was less than 1 meter away from me!

Took about 10 minutes in total. 2 days later the test came back negative. Went back to work the next week and they never even asked for any proof of me having taken the test. All the management that initially tested positive were back and right as rain....and never actually experienced any symptoms...in spite of testing positive. It's all as if nothing ever happened.
This is what the whole economy has been shut down for over 2 months!

Still.....got paid a full weeks wages for sitting at home, drinking and playing Saints Row: The Third Remastered.
