From a health and safety perspective - we go out in pairs and visit many pensioner's houses - best stay at home.
From a moral perspective - it's impossible to be out working and not have some interaction that would be otherwise avoided, buying fuel etc, the more people who stay at home the less people will die - best stay at home.
From a business perspective - it's going to be a mess. Boris and his shower of charlatans can't be relied upon for anything. He's a proven liar and a terrible leader, as demonstrated by the chaos yesterday. When this is over I'll pick up the pieces, having seen the social media shaming of window cleaners who went out yesterday I think there will be more pieces to pick up if we're closed - best stay at home.
What was it, 2 pictures yesterday on Facebook soupy? Don’t let that influence a decision. Neanderthals can still poorly type a Facebook post as they sit their getting the weekly dole check.
All my customers have been supportive and are glad I am carrying on for now. I’ve even picked up 3 new jobs this week.
I’m going out alone now, (not taking another worker with me) and also not going to come into contact with anyone. I’ll physically stand 2 metres away if someone comes to the door and they can leave the money on the step.
The business doesn’t have to be a shambles, just work safely.
Everyone else is getting looked after by the government, we’ve just got to fend for ourselves unfortunately.
When all is said and done and businesses go bankrupt, can’t pay mortgages, then the government will say, “but why did you stop work”, “you were told you could safely carry on”.
When your employees aren’t entitled to the 80% wage, the governments response will be the same.
The real shame in this is why self employed people aren’t getting the same help as employed.
