No clue if a med- term herd immunity strategy is optimal approach but assuming you probably will get #COVID19 eventually & you're in a low risk category, wouldn't you rather get it sooner than later? Avoids extended isolation/anticipation, allows you to be more useful..?

#thingsifindmyselfdoing – thinking I really should start a diary or video log.
I think there might be a bit of an issue trying to survive as a Freelancer or consultant right now, and not feeling like you're somehow exploiting the situation. Opportunism feels quite complicated in an environment of such uncertainty.

I thought I should apply for Universal Credit just in case & I'm at 21875 in the verification queue. 115 minutes ago I was at 21875. If the numbers hold, by my reckoning I'll be at the front of the queue in 2266 minutes, approx 37 hours – or 5.30 on Friday morning. https://t.co/P0m6IByGgt
Either the Post Office upped its game or ALOT of people dropped out overnight but I'm at the front of the queue. I've only been waiting 40 minutes now to get a mobile confirmation code I had to re-request twice because it didn't work… Ho hum.
Gave up after 90 minutes of confirmation code failure at 1.30am. I wonder if I'm going to be back in the queue….
well – it looks like I jumped the queue today! Verification process is slow and there are frequent timeouts on the Post Office site but it feels like progress at the moment!
The enthusiasm is palpable. I feel quite guilty. https://t.co/ENZsYYW3tq
