Hi everyone,
I'm a porter in a hospital in London and with this coronavirus stuff it's making me so worried because I have pretty bad asthma but it's not classed as severe because I don't go to the doctors about it I get my inhalers for free from the hospital I work at. They say people with severe asthma should be keeping distance from people more than people with out but I can't do that as it's my job handling patients all the time, I can't afford to go sick as I don't get paid for the first 3 days and after that it's SSP which I can't live on Plus to add on all of this my girlfriend is pregnant and I don't want to be catching anything and bringing it home too her.

Sorry for the long post I'm just so worried

He's a porter not a neurosurgeon



Wear a mask and keep being hygienic. If your work lay you off or tell you to stay at home they should be paying you whilst you're off

Oh man, my missus is in the same boat..

I'm not sure what else there Is to offer, I'm pretty sure you'll be okay with having contact with corona virus, but it's just not worth the risk. SSP is always trash but try going for Universal credit or something, they'll help.

It's all important in a hospital, Porter is just as important as everyone else. Don't feel like you're not needed. Like a chain, without you it's broken.
