as title just checking in....ive had 6 wks of furlough and been back at work for 3 weeks now,a full week next week and then over the next 8 weeks i will be taking another 4 weeks on furlough due to lack of work, half the work force on the other half off...that will take me into august, cant see orders picking up by then so iam guessing that will be extended with my employer picking up part of the furlough payment...only two of us in my department, the other guy is coming up for retirement in 8 weeks time, hes been in this trade for 51 years and could well finish his time on furlough...not the best way to finish 51 years of service...
I had to go back on Monday, the guy they temporarily promoted to take my place had a massive heart attack at home on Friday , and sadly died. Only 55 years old and seemed to be in good health, life is just shite sometimes.
[/quote]WOW :eek I have been reading that covid may well turn out to be a cardiovascular disease or at the least have big links to it, wonder if he had Covid

I don't think we will ever know if he had Covid or not, he wasn't showing any noticeable symptoms at work, we get our temperature taken before we are allowed into the facility , anything over the norm and you are sent straight home.
Anyway this thread is meant to be for people checking in that they are ok, as VNA says there is another thread to discuss other Covid related issues, so good news only from now on I hope.
