New strain of Covid?

Things are vastly different now.

More companies on the verge of going under, they need to operate this time.

So the “work from home” advise is no longer viable...

it changed to "work from home if you can" months ago.

I've read on more than one occasion that if 'we all stand still for two weeks, the virus will die off.

Two weeks of proper self isolating lockdown - gotta be worth a go hasn't it?

Probably needs to be done on a global scale if its going to last... and that is very difficult to arrange.

As an example... I service equipment for companies including medical companies.

In April a health care company called because they needed a repair and some equipment calibrated.

So I had to order parts from our service department who then sent the store person into the warehouse who had to pack and ship the part to me to drive to Suffolk to fit the parts.

So one call for one job meant 4 people went to work you can x that by 1000s across the country.

The country can not function with everyone WFH.

Very well written, enjoyable (if that’s the right word) read.

If you have to go in and work to save the company, you can’t work from home can you?

Companies accepted furlough back in March, Furlough doesn’t pay the bills.

And it appears, apart from office workers in London, no-one can!

I appreciate that, it's just at the moment, at a time when the virus is accelerating it appears it's only hospitality that is feeling the brunt of restrictions!
