But you are still out and about possibly spreading or contracting the virus.

Not sure where the linch mobs gone? Maybe they put everyone on block?

● Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.

 

3. STOPPING PUBLIC GATHERINGS To make sure people are staying at home and apart from each other, the Government is also stopping all public gatherings of more than two people. There are only two exceptions to this rule: ● where the gathering is of a group of people who live together - this means that a parent can, for example, take their children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home. ● where the gathering is essential for work purposes - but workers should be trying to minimise all meetings and other gatherings in the workplace.

 

These are the two key bits relating to continuing to work BUT is your work so essential that someone's life is put at risk?

I'm working tomorrow, he definitely said "if you can't work from home " I've listened to it 4 times. I'm working in a copse tomorrow about a mile from the nearest house. People are still allowed to shop for food which is far more dangerous

Exactly. People can still pass by eachother in supermarkets passing it on, and the way its been going i want to see how the panic buying is policed in days to follow. My gf works in a supermarket with no protection at all serving customers, delivery drivers still working?

That's a very compelling argument.

Yes. Delivery drivers essential. Checkout workers essential. NHS workers essential.
