This Witch doesn't burn
|
If you listen to the phone in's its 50/50, with some people whose businesses are in ruins wanting to start back asap, and more saying no way, and what will happen to their children if they have to return, although I would imagine if they do have to go back, the scheme that is currently in place for key workers would be expanded to essential workers or those that can return safely?
what are your thoughts? I work from home so it won't affect me at all Mr C has gone back but he can social distance plus he drives himself. I don't know how people are going to be able to manage to access public transport in a safe way?

The Government has begun reviewing its furlough scheme, with planned options including cutting the 80 per cent wage subsidy for British workers.
Taxpayers currently cover the wages of 6.3 million people whose jobs were shut down by the coronavirus outbreak, but Chancellor Rishi Sunak aims to “wind down” the scheme gradually over coming months, the Standard has learnt.

i haven't stopped working, as also work from home.
I think that the numbers infected with covid will be much less now than they were prior to lockdown, so even without social distancing, it should be a lot better (and safer) than it was. |

I would jump through any hoops and go dressed.in full hazmat gear if it meant I could go back to feeling productive and useful again. I hate the fact that I am relying on the Gov for my wages....I want to work and I'm ready to work. I drive myself there and we could rearrange the office to maintain social distance regs and utilise Zoom or Teams for meetings and interviews. Fingers crossed they allow it soon.

I Love my brick

I'm doing a bit from home and a colleague who lives near our premises is going in packing up orders during the week. I don't mind working from home actually. We're allowed to partially open (as in take and send out orders) because we supply a lot of HSE and Pharma. Probably won't open our doors fully until the second or third phase of the Lockdown plan though, wouldn't be worth while before then

Doubtful. If no social distancing measures were taken the numbers would increase again.

if we get some nice sunny weather, cases will drop like a stone (UV kills it so it is a lot more difficult to transmit). What we should all be hoping for is the best summer weather in years

Deny, Defend, Depose.

It's spread quite nicely already, in far sunnier climates than our summers will ever be.
