Exactly.

As long as we keep to social distancing we are fine, all of my customers have been supportive.

Got to love all the people who dont know the difference between essential WORK and essential TRAVEL. 

The PM said.....verbatim "and travel to and from work, but only when absolutely necessary, and cannot be done from home."

The GOV press release following the PM speech "Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home."

The essence of the msg is clear that the PM was saying you can travel to and from work that cannot be done at home.

Today we have had clarification from Nicole Sturgeon, Matt Hancock, and tweets from Robert Jenrick and Andy Burham and still people are on the moral high-ground saying cleaning windows at this time is immoral and  wrong in some way.

You may interpret something another way to everyone else and several government ministers, but thats your issue not the issue of the people who choose to go out to work.

[1] How are you going to deal with Pensioners (vunerable group who need to self isolate) ?
[2] How can you identify other vunerable groups...... asthmatics, diabetics, etc ?
[3] Why or how is your work "essential" ?
[4] What measures specifically will you put in place to reduce risk of contamination to the General Public at large?
[5] Have you confirmed if you are carrying Cov19 or not ?

[1] How are you going to deal with Pensioners (vunerable group who need to self isolate) ?     By having no contact with them .
[2] How can you identify other vunerable groups...... asthmatics, diabetics, etc ?   I dont need to , i just wont have any contact with anyone.
[3] Why or how is your work "essential" ?  It isn't apart from keeping the economy turning over to lessen the burden on the taxpayer.
[4] What measures specifically will you put in place to reduce risk of contamination to the General Public at large? By having no contact with anyone.
[5] Have you confirmed if you are carrying Cov19 or not ?  Well Duh , there are no tests available.

The litmus test is not KEY WORK or ESSENTIAL its if your job could put you within  2m of another person. Shops like Timpsons etc etc could mean you are within that zone due to payment, handing over shoes / keys. As there is that risk the employer has decided to stand your nephew down.

Why the debate,  I've read all of the posts,  it's crazy.  The government has not shut down work, travelling to and from work is allowed .. essential travel to and from work only  is the statement now.

It's all talk, Don.

Monday you can fall apart.
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart.
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start...…..it'll be Thursday when we get more than talk and speculation, I reckon.
That might be optimistic though.
