Yes I got the text, my one give a link to the gov.uk/coronavirus.
What’s your plan. I am in isolation but still lambing sheep with wife and daughter who have also isolated. The advise says stay indoors with window open

I self isolated for seven days (over Thursday) because I had the symptoms or a cold so off work and at home, the trouble is we will never know if it was just the cold or not, Mrs is isolating for 14 days just in case.
Living where we do its not possible to isolate for a long time as there are no delivery's, I suppose it depends on each persons circumstances and health issues.

Wasn't the text sent to all mobiles ?

My understanding is that they were sent to targeted individuals, those being most vulnerable to the virus.
All mobiles I think you will find

I have not had any text message. I have had the .gov text though. I was surprised to learn the government have my mobile number.

News to me, neither Mrs Danllan nor myself have received such a text.

The simple 'stay at home' with the coronovirus link. Gov one is supposed to be sent to everyone I think, Prince Pooper got his this morning and me this afternoon, we are on different networks. I think the Govt provided the text to phone providers to roll out across their entire networks.
The 2m people at highest risk due to health conditions or medication will be contacted by text or letter and this is supposed to be this week, but I suspect more piecemeal, some will come from GP assessment and some from consultants, as everyone's situation different.

I’ve a work phone and a personal one, only came thru on personal number. I assume because that’s what the doctors had as my contact number.
don’t think I’m vulnerable, not bothered them through illness ever, just silly work related injuries......oh, er....I see.

Mrs didn't get a text but I did, not sure why, the only thing I can think is I get the flu jab.

Mrs Danllan gets an automatic flu jab because of her work, I pay for one because of my ancient mother, neither of us has been texted...

I wondered about how they have our numbers. Do they send the message to our network providers and they are the ones that forward it, or.....?
