    Not if your work isn't classed as essential, no.

    My favourite is from carry on girls where they are discussing tourism and June Whitfield says that the tourists are put off "by our average rainfall" to which Sid says " if you think 9 inches is average then you've been spoiled "

    Only no one has defined what essential actually is.

    So the original "herd immunity" angle was right then?

    Just as an aside, if family's are locked in together and at least one of them has the virus then the rest will catch it and (hopefully) get through it which, in a way, is building up herd immunity in small groups and (again hopefully) keeping the older members of the community isolated from the worst of it.

    No.

    Those are your words, I was merely quoting them back to you, as you seemed to have completely changed tack.

    Funny that.

    Yeah, I'd expect that to be clarified more tomorrow. My sister was supposed to be moving this week.

    They’re basically saying carry on going to work if you can’t work from home.

    Which in terms of a lockdown, is a bit of an omission.

    It didn’t actually say essential did it?

    So I read it as you can go to work if there is absolutely no way you can work from home, provided there won’t be more than two people there (unless you are a key worker who can’t avoid being over the two person limit).

    Where were you quoting from?

    I actually do believe in herd resistance (not immunity, that was where you got confused with language).

    So companies with more than 2 employees on one site who can’t work from home, need to close down then? As they didn’t say that.....

    Confusing isn’t it.......

    But not if you’re simple like Diego.

    Plus it’s not up to the employee to decide to have the time off on 80%, the companies have to apply for it. So no individual can just choose to take the piss. The company would have to choose to take the piss.

    It is impossible to enforce. If you are stopped by the cozzers, you tell them you are going shopping. If they see you again (unlikely) you are exercising.

    @Roy Munson I can remember us a little while back having a debate over animal testing, I'm sure you remember it. Just got to thinking with this virus, where it will take around 18 months of testing, and part of those tests will involve animals. I assume remembering our previous debate, that if you had the choice of death or the vaccine, that you would decline the latter due to your morals....just curious?

    Obviously if it means you being a carrier, we would have to get Comm to put a bullet in you :bandit:
