NS explicitly said that unless you were involved in the fight against Covid-19 then you should close. Hence why factories are included in the lockdown exit document. My company makes electrical equipment and we closed down for 1 week before opening again with social distancing measures in place. We aren't supplying any equipment in the fight against COVID. I don't know of any factory in this industrial estate which has closed down for the duration of lockdown either. As long as you can prove you were providing a safe place to work you could stay open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of businesses have kept going without being directly involved, working at home if possible etc. You're probably right. But isn't it the case as being merely the First Minister of Scotland, quite often she can only *advise* on a lot of things? (2014 to thank for to that ) Any decent minded employers in construction and manufacturing have been shut.

Most decent minded employers have done what is necessary to keep their staff with an income. For some that meant closing down/furlough, for others it meant putting measures in place so they can work safely. I really don't think we'll have much problem ramping work up at factories and construction sites again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 On BBC news, they were talking about a 'physical' track and trace system using 20,000 folk to investigate contacts. I can't get my head round it. They used an example of 9 contacts from one positive person. They would then contact all 9 and ask who they had been in contact with and so on. If each person meets another 9 people that results in a fkn huge number in no time. 9x9=81 9x81=729 9x729=6,561 9x6,561=59,049.......you can see where I'm going with this. There's no way this can work. Have I missed something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to let them die if it means the pub doesn’t have social distancing and screens when they open. c**t. I didn’t know the elderly or those in the “at risk” category, would be forced into pubs or to restaurants? If they want to shield to be on the safe then so be it, but EVERYONE shouldn’t be punished for it 4 hours ago, bendan said: Jesus.

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The sheer number of middle class arseholes in and around Battlefield and Queens Park etc who think for some special reason that the rules dont apply to them is mental. See the worst thing about working in the public sector, its the public. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But time is of the essence and it doesn't take long to meet 9 folk if 'stay at home' is no longer the mantra. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) 56 minutes ago, The Moonster said: What a weird thing to get worked up about. Manufacturing factories were never forced to close though, they were told if they couldn't create safe working spaces then they would need to furlough staff, but as I said earlier most factories will have been operating in some shape or form if they've been able to. What’s weird about it? What’s weird about me disliking people telling me that life as we know it has gone, and we are facing a ‘new normal’. My experience of life recently has been one of people shitting themselves if someone coughs or sneezes twenty feet away from them, and staring daggers at you if you aren’t exactly 2m away from them. People walking around wearing masks and gloves. Shop workers wearing perspex masks. Queuing for a pint of milk with tape on the pavement. Want me to go on? So, what’s weird about me railing against this current way of life being described as normal at alll? In any way, shape or form, it is far from normal.

H Wragg Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Nicola Sturgeon has just said on Reporting Scotland that the meeting another household thing does NOT restrict you to meeting the same one household each time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
