Max68 that is a brilliant letter sums up the situation perfectly and it will be interesting to see how your MP replies.
I emailed my MP a few months ago, I think it was part of the diabetes uk campaign. I got a reply about 6 weeks later that obviously generic one expressing concern but basically follow guidelines
.
Interestingly I'm now being strongly encouraged by my youngest daughter to go and get a haircut! She is very sympathetic and not being unkind by the way! She went yesterday and its covid safe.
Her and her fiance would thoroughly cleancar and take me there. There would be no one else in the salon other than hairdresser. My intention would be to go in with wet hair and quick cut,not even sure about having it dried.
It is quite an interesting proposition. My daughter feels it's safe.
It would involve sharing a car with my daughter who works in a care home and her fiance who works in a covid test centre(hes probably less risky than her although she is tested weekly).
Interestingly government guidelines still only recommend doing this ie sharing a car if no other alternative and if absolutely necessary. Hmm.
I like my hairdresser and she is a responsible person but after an initial flurry of younger people her appointment book is pretty much empty as older clients dont want to risk it!
On the one hand I dont want to look as though I'm being over dramatic to the point of paranoia on the other it doesnt seem a particularly sensible thing to do! I may look like a scarecrow for a while yet!
Sorry to take over your excellent post but in some ways it sums up the current situation and the conflicting advice and individual thoughts about risk in all areas.
The return to work remains the most concerning. Personally I've decided I wont be returning to my current job,theres still a lot of issues to be resolved but I realise I'm lucky in that I have a choice.
