Fair point. If we don't want to be misled about the merits of herd immunity, it really is time some people stopped behaving like a herd. Of sheep and actually used their own brains rather than waiting for Bojo the sheepdog to tell them where to go. Or not. He doesn't know. He relies on the science. But it seems there are conflicting whistles. People and employers should decide for themselves. Apparently it's our superior intelligence that differentiates us from other animals. You do have to wonder sometimes. Well actually all the time.
My clients have on the whole done precisely what they should. Thought about it as soon as furlough started- used the stoppage as an ideal opportunity to clean the place down, engage with their H&S consultants and union safety reps put markings and lines down on the floor for safe distancing, stagger working times enforce the 2 metre rule in car parks and so on. They started to reopen on a reduced capacity within a couple of weeks without any problems at all. They are not politicians but they have used their brains.
I advised on this first over 5 weeks ago with an employer that was ahead of the game and had already done much of what i suggested and a fair few things I hadn't even considered. If Bojo wants some advice or someone to go into the next press briefing with him, I'd be happy to do so. But then I don't suffer fools gladly. Some on here say they have noticed that about me from my previous posts.
