[QUOTE="Jbicheno, post: 2321624, member: 278204"] I agree with you JRT. It seems to me, everyone is trying to pass the buck, so in the end nothing gets done. I don’t want to give up work yet, I’m 59 years old and still have something to offer. However, the callousness of the government guidelines for vulnerable people and the inability, of anyone I’m speaking to, to make a decision is narrowing my choices. In some ways I’m lucky as I have a partner who is our main breadwinner and I do have choices but this is not the path I would have chosen. It saddens me greatly that the reality of my situation, wanting to wear a face mask in a crowded, indoor environment, may in the end cause me to leave my school. I feel very sad for people in my situation who do not have any choice but to continue to work. Indeed, there is someone I work with who was forced into a serious breach of Covid-19 isolation rules at work. She did query the advice she was given, and quoted government guidelines and phoned 119 but was still not listened to. I do not want to go into details because I know she can’t afford to lose her job and she asked my advice in confidence. This just shows what a messed up situation we find ourselves in and as you say no safety net. [/QUOTE]
