I'd bloody sue let alone complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHS and Social Services have contracts with individuals who are classed as being self-employed. Those individuals regularly have contact with vulnerable adults and children including visiting those groups at their home. These self-employed individuals are not entitled to any form of payment from the NHS or Social Services whilst unable to work. Dropping onto benefits would be a significant drop in income for them. They therefore may be reluctant to stay away from work although many will also feel very much torn between protecting their own income (and family) and also looking after those they care for. This is where the Government needs to do more. They need to support these individuals to reduce the risk to the vulnerable people. There are simply not enough test kits or resources to check these people every single day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in any case these contractors or bank nurses are employed by Health Trusts, not by the government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Taking back control... Coronavirus: Urgent appeal for Brits to work on farms Industry leaders have issued an urgent plea for British people to work on farms and help feed the nation amid a burgeoning labour shortage due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some 70,000 seasonal workers are usually required annually on British farms – with many coming from overseas. But travel restrictions and tighter border controls are having a significant effect on the number of people able to travel to the UK. With the soft fruit harvest due to get fully under way next month, labour provider Hops Labour Solutions said seasonal workers were urgently needed to help pick and process fruit and vegetables on farms and in packhouses.

Freggyragh Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 There is a real danger that the U.K. will be hit so much harder by Covid-19 than the rest of the world. Despite clear and increasingly frantic warnings from China, Korea, Japan, Iran, Italy, and the WHO, Dickhead Johnson, up until Monday, dismissed them the same way he did ‘project fear’ reality checks. Did he think the U.K. was a special case? Does he think he is clever because he went to a very expensive school? What is wrong with him? How blaringly, obviously stupid does the idea of trying to develop ‘herd immunity’ seem now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
