It's rather disquieting that you think they do. Indeed. We are being told to take control of mitigating our own risks, this one mitigation. "What ifs" are all very well, but the "what if" of a recovering cancer patient being the only applicant is unlikely as my understanding is that immuno-compromised people were being advised to have the jab. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Ifs and buts and maybe’s ,,,,,, fair play to them it’s there private business that they’ve invested there hard earned into, so it’s up to them and them alone to decide what person they’d like to employ. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, a first, second, third jabs and a booster jab. What if the owners are vulnerable, or one of the existing staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increased opportunity for exposure in a restaurant consistently full of people, therefore potential carriers, so this must also be a consideration?

Gladys Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Living with it does not mean ignoring it, just like living next to a busy road does not mean ignoring it and carrying on as if it isn't there. You have to accept that it is there and adjust your behaviour to lessen the risk, but that does not mean you can demand that the road is shut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not mean that precautions no longer need to be observed where desired, as in this case. The way things are I'm surprised that people seem surprised. Covid hasn't gone away and won't be going anywhere soon, surely you'd agree with that? Numbers appear to be rising, throughout the UK. The world is not even nearly out of this pandemic, the virus continues to mutate, into who knows what. Fortunately for all, vaccine research continues apace, more is known about treatment and importantly, what we all can do to limit transmission. We're living with it, we have to. Would you rather we threw caution to the wind? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliX Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 If someone told you you were diabetic would you refuse to take insulin on the grounds that you're "going to live with it" instead? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people hardly even get ill from Covid. Few people end up in hospital and very few die from it. I.o.M. has moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Indeed. Where are we now ? Could one of these experts on here tell me. We don't seem to be living too well with it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
