The usual atmosphere of day to day life has gone people are having to act different and we are having to live our lives day by day to hear the next set of instructions

On top of that my wife could give birth at any point I dont know how all of this is going to affect it.

Also I have a cough and I do feel a bit warm but I dont know whether to go off work or to see how the symptoms progress because if it is nothing what if I go back after 7 days and then catch it? Will they allow me to be off again? I just dont know what to do and Im just not in a great place again! I was doing ok for a good few months

Jake, go to your manager and tell him you have a cough, and also that your wife is pregnant, I don't think you should be working even if you didn't have a cough because of the pregnancy
