More restrictions in the UK, its happening again.

Each workplace should have Covid measures in place. If they don't then they are breaking the law.

My office was apparently "Covid secure", but 2 staff out of 12 have Covid because they went out on Bank Holiday Monday (lasses in their 20's) and caught it. They then will have gone back to the office until either symptoms showed or friends alerted them to their own positive test results.

There's not the capacity in the country of paid childcare if people who previously used family members wanted to switch.

I didn't say there was, some people on here however are saying that they refuse to pay for it when it is available .

Not always possible

I know, and that is a problem.

That's not your workplace fault.

Mixing in the bus queue, well the kids that get the bus will all have to stay off, or walk by themselves for 4 miles in all weather conditions.

Im just reporting the law as it’s written mate. I don’t agree with it either

Not always a case of refuse to pay either, sometimes more so a case of can't afford. But you don't need to worry yourself about trivial things like that up there in your ivory tower

The purpose of the Covid Secure office is that there should be reduced risks of those women passing the virus onto others in the office. If no one else in the office tests positive then I’d suggest that it’s done it’s job. Workplaces cant be expected to prevent infections in leisure time

slowly edging towards a full national lockdown

I know, I'm just demonstrating that no workplace will be truly "Covid secure" if there are people working in it (due to their mingling).

Yeah but all I'm doing is pointing out how stupid it is. If they want to stop the spead, a full lockdown is the only way. It will cripple the country.

If they are working, then the majority can pay for it.

There will always be risk as its an enclosed, poorly ventilated space. Even if you're 2m away from the person their droplets will circulate in the air and anyone can breathe them in.

But it reduces the risk, nowhere is 100% safe. Hence the new restrictions in place to prevent mixing with people outside of your own family or support bubble.

I know, it's thankfully something I don't need to stress about anymore (apart from the bairn bringing it home from school).

Do what is right for your family, you don't need to justify it. That goes for life in general too.

Mafia family slogan that

Couldnt agree more

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Strange that most of the North has restrictions in place and the south looks like they are coping well.

 

[Frankel]

That’s a pretty big assumption.

Do you know of the availability? Do you know the hourly rate?
