If I was on minimum not particularly invested in the system. I wouldn't go in. The benefit has to outweigh the risk, wherever you live. Some folks can't understand why toilet paper is getting sold out. Whatever the commodity, you have to understand that to buy that, the cashier is most likely on minimum wage, if they get sick or don't fancy the risk. Or the delivery driver or at the point of production. Who replaces them?
Ok, maybe the army, is that 1 million to 360 million Americans or 100k for 65 million Brits. Yeah that's spreading it thin at best. Welcome to queuing for essential items.
So if you don't go in, you don't get paid. Does looting start? It did New Orleans. I worked there after the hurricane. The stories from the residents were horrific. Desperate people will do anything to survive. I posted earlier about normalcy bias, it's remarkable just how many people think everything will stay the same.
There's two constants in life, taxes and change. Change is inevitable, taxes only when people are willing to collect them.
I would think that as the demand increases they will suspend the clinics and your place of work for the duration will be hospital based .

That's what i mean.
I have a relatively well paid job in an area i really enjoy living in but I'm only going in on Monday to keep my job because im on an absence plan.
If i wasn't invested as you say, no way i would go in.
And I'm looking down Tooting high street now, once all those little shops shut or run out it could get nasty quickly.
Barricade the flat and take shifts guarding the flat at night. Going out hunting for food by day, breaking into warehouses and empty houses. Bringing the girls from the flat downstairs into our group, they are doctors which will be useful and they have extra provisions.
There will be attempted break ins but there are few entry points, we'll leave the body of the first guy outside where it fell to warn off others.
Mobile phone networks will be broken down so we'll have to get radio comms working.
It's going to be a rough old time.

I think they will have to in the end because nobody will be coming in for them anyway.
It's just that will we miss a window to leave in the meantime?

The club have taken the opportunity to don superman outfits with Big Bad Bill at the forefront in dishing out superpacks to the elderly at this testing media driven time which is a super phenominal upgrade on the times we have neglected the elderly in every other flu driven season that wasn't in the public eye being the super shits we are

I always wondered when something like this happened i would be like the guy in Day of the triffids who rescues people and rebuilds society.
I'd probably need a bit of help with the society bit but we are all going to have to do our bit.
I don't think nurses have a choice in the matter , a mates sister works in hospital based paediatrics, her child was unwell with a temp at home , she spoke to her manager and was told in no uncertain times that the hospital took priority over her family .

Well its a bit different for me, i run a clinic with appointments booked well in advance for routine assessments. Nobody is ever at risk during that.
I do still work hospitals but on the bank so I pick when and where.
I'm sure the hospital protocol might say that but if you have a mother with a sick child they might just see the priority the other way.
I dont have kids, not married so it's never bothered me, i always stay late in emergencies etc or to look after the team.
But nursing is fairly unique in the job market in that there are more vacancies than nurses. It's a sellers market. You could walk out and be working again as soon as your dbs check came through.

Which is entirely justified. Hospitals need to stay open, their staff will face exhaustion and stress levels on wartime levels. Volunteering could be a solution for communities.
Looking after yourself, family and loved one's at this moment has to be the priority even if it means minimizing travel apart for essential necessities. Work, food etc. Responsible behavior will lessen the burden placed on public servants. If managed correctly the infrastructure is more than capable of dealing with this.
I agree with what you saying but unfortunately anyone who has worked in the NHS is aware that a covert bullying culture still exists in some areas .

Oh absolutely i agree.
I've been out of the NHS for lots of years now though. Although that's not to say that private organisations are any better in some cases.

I know there's way more important things to worry about, but given our financial results last year does this put us in a big hole for the next set?
And if this thing never truly goes away, and comes back every winter (endemic, I believe?) does that put the entire sport in some level of jeopardy?

The sport is finished.
We'll be kicking human heads in the street vaguely remembering when life didn't mean pain.
