[QUOTE="Tannith, post: 2310524, member: 422465"] I am very pleased to hear Boris say that people should work from home again. So much better than being forced into a workplace where you have no control over your own safety and the employer is in charge of your health.These people help keep their own businesses from going bankrupt and thereby help the economy, as well as reducing potential spread of virus amongst their colleagues . And it's a great help to people who are forced to use public transport to get to work, as it makes it less crowded and risky for them. Shame it's no help to schools though. I was expecting a further 6 months of staying indoors until there is a vaccine, and we had already decided that our supermarket delivery in early September would be our last for at least a couple of months so as to avoid the risk from delivery drivers and packers.We shall manage with dried pasta/rice etc for now which is a shame as we both love potatoes. I am glum at the prospect of having to stay indoors for so long, but at the same time grateful that I am able to stay safe because I am retired. I am not worried for myself about the virus as I have no need to go out to work etc, but am fearful for my children (one of whom has to go to the office quite a few days a week), and grandchildren. I am afraid the grandchildren, who have to go to school, may bring the virus home to their parents. [/QUOTE]
