In the blame culture we now live in, it's not unexpected that there is an adverse reaction to a bit of responsibility being put on people to look after themselves and make appropriate risk / reward decisions.

Workplaces will make an effort to do what is possible as this will allow them to open. Working from home will still be encouraged for those who can. KFC etc are offering reduced services to limit the number of staff required on shift to limit the risk.

 

Think it's less about accepting personal responsibility and more that people are worried that those around them, employers, and the government are not going to do all they can to ensure their safety is paramount in the midst of a pandemic. I'm glad I don't work for Asos or Amazon atm, for example.

Hang on, are we both agreeing that we are not being entirely serious about this & are just having a laugh about Sunday meltdowns?

I’m never serious about anything.  I mean that seriously.

Reuters reporting Germany now crept up to R1.1 today sparking fears of a second wave.. over to you Boris.
Nit sure we should be looking to take pre emptive action based on an inferred variable that has risen mere days after the lifting of restrictions, when the opposite effect takes weeks to be seen?

Utterly muddled messages from the UK government - this has that c**t Cummings pawprints all over it.

 

Some spokesperson on Sky News just now saying she looked "alert" up in the dictionary, and apparently it means vigilant.

Just back from a walk to post some stuff. Stopped at the post box to get a stone out my shoe. Approaching me on the otherwise deserted pavement was a guy wearing in-ear headphones. As I stood with one foot in the air shaking my training shoe, this grade one fanny stops dead in his tracks about ten feet from me, does a 45 degree turn, marches into the middle of the road. Stops, turns, like soldiers on parade, and proceeds to march straight down the white lines - in the middle of the road. He doesn’t return to the pavement, he just keeps walking down the middle of the road. Approaching him, a woman in a white Mercedes A Class. He can’t hear the car. She hits the brakes and has to slow right down to walking pace. He’s still marching down the middle of the road.
Cnuts like this need to get a fcuking grip.
Techno viking imo

One look at you and the poor guy was traumatised.

The attitude of British exceptionalism is absolutely part of why we've got the highest death toll in Europe. It has always been there but, since 2016, it has really taken off.

Absolutely. The danger is we replace it with Scottish exceptionalism.
