Guidance on shielding and protecting people who are clinically extremely vulnerable from COVID-19

[piglette]

Just to let you know that the UK government have produced a new guidance - COVID-19: guidance on shielding and protecting people defined on medical grounds as extremely vulnerable.

gov.uk/government/publicati...

They are saying that as of 1 August;

the government will no longer be advising you to shield

the support from the National Shielding Service of free food parcels, medicine deliveries and care will stop

NHS Volunteer Responders will carry on delivering the food you buy, prescriptions and essential items to you if you need it

you will still be eligible for priority supermarket slots (if you have registered by 17 July)

Think this is same as my post - healthunlocked.com/pmrgcauk....

But best to remind those affected.

I had mentioned it before too. I really wanted to let people know that the government were not expecting us to shield after 1 August. Also thought people might like to exercise their brains on the quiz!!

Stuck on 2 at the moment!

[piglette in reply to DorsetLady]

I am stuck on 1. 2 is Burning your Bridges I think.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to piglette]

Yes. 1. Duck to water?

[piglette in reply to DorsetLady]

I am not convinced!! What about the hand? Don’t you think the water might be a wave?

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to piglette]

That’s what I thought originally, but the saying is....”like a duck to water” - and I took the hand to mean “2” rather than anything else! Peace or victory doesn’t really fit.

[piglette in reply to DorsetLady]

The only trouble is the duck comes first in the picture and the other pics are all in the right sequence. You are probably right though!!

My brain just fried ...

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to piglette]

Yes - duck 🦆 to ✌️water🌊

[herdysheep in reply to piglette]

not just any old duck but a mallard!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to herdysheep]

And a drake at that!

[herdysheep in reply to DorsetLady]

quite!

[piglette in reply to DorsetLady]

Could be Drake’s Victory Wave, possibly not! Probably Duck to Water.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to piglette]

I did consider that, but wouldn’t say it was a well know saying like others

3. Not rocket science.

4. A bed of roses.

5. Time flies when you're enjoying yourself 😏.
