Other alternatives are available; For example workplace infections are soaring. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/16/bosses-accused-putting-workers-lives-risk-bending-lockdown-trading-rules Likely that the current wave is due to more than one factor.

RJRB Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I thought that Morrison’s were supposedly leading the way in enforcing precautions against Covid transmission. Its not apparent at The Barracks this afternoon. No security as you enter,no one way systems. It wasn’t particularly busy but saw 2 men and a woman not wearing masks in the shopping area and more than a few taking masks off as they had gone through the checkout but still in the shop. One security guy outside the shop serving what purpose I do not know. Difficult I know for shops to cater for the more awkward customers,but if you are not going to do it then don’t issue press releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same at the Morrisons in S8 - with the addition of staff taking masks down to talk to each other in aisles and the butchers wearing theirs on their chins and chatting to each other each time I've been in.

Yeah i read about it yesterday but on this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55695185 this bit stuck out to me Of 1,172 UK workers surveyed, four in 10 said they had worked within 10 days of a positive result. More than 10% of respondents also said they had been ordered on-site when they could have "easily" and "safely" worked from home. In fact mi mum phoned today and mentioned a cousin who works in a drs surgery in handsworth was told by a senior receptionist to come into work even though she was feeling "under the weather", she did as she was told, 2 days later she tested positive for covid and now 6 people are self isolating...madness...and wrong.

Seems a good idea to me most people have a dentist local to them. I’m surprised by that. From the communications from my dentist I understand they have a huge backlog of patients to see. I think I would prefer dentists to concentrate on using their specialist skills to help people with dental problems and there are enough alternatives for vaccinations elsewhere.
