Should we really be working in peoples homes in Tier 3

[GBDamo]

You're in the wrong job, as the government has been advised by their specialists that it is airborne, and masks do indeed help. You must know better?

Ha, some of my installations alone prove that.

The virus is not airborne, it can be carried in droplets coughed up by a plague carrier but they should be in self isolation, if they are in public their mask will help prevent spread but again, they should not be in public.

The viral particles themselves will pass straight through 99.9% of the masks on open sale.

If the virus was airborne masks would offer less than 1% protection and we'd be up that creek sans paddle.

Hard surface and hand cleaning are very effective though.

Forgive me for being sceptical of government specialists, after all you hire a rent a gob to profess anything these days.

I think if sensible precautions are taken... we're fine. It's actually a rare virus to catch... in my area it's about 0.8% officially... so the risks are very low. Even if you do catch it, only a small minority have severe symptoms.

I wanted to reply to the above, but words fail me.

it could be argued that beer and smokes are the best defence againsy covid 19, as i've not caught it. ????

Why? Its a reasonably summation of reality.

If your fit and healthy then the risks to yourself are negligible.

If your customer is in a high risk group then the onus is on them to highlight this and protect themselves and not invite risk into their home.

As always, there are precautions that can be taken to further reduce risk, which Zerax points out.

Or it could be that being a miserable, grumpy old bast@ard works too ? nobody comes near us ??

Turn on the tv, guys. Christmas relaxation has been cancelled for some areas down south.

I know a few people who have had Covid. Admittedly most didn't show bad symptoms, but 4 of them did, and they were all very fit healthy people. Two of them still have issues with their respiratory system months later.

Don't be too over confident that it won't affect you, that's all I'm saying.

[telectrix]

i told them lockdown was no use. i said it would all end in tiers.

 

[marcuswareham]

Exactly ! I find it amusing that probably 95% of the working population are "key workers" !

Doh, I am one of the 5% have not been able to work since March. As I work on live events and all that
