World beating:
News of his positive result reached the co-owner of Vape Escape, Leanne Underhill, first. Underhill, 40, closed the bar straightaway. She made a series of desperate calls to Somerset County Council and the police before finally getting through to NHS Test and Trace. “They asked me what I had done and took my postcode – that was it. They didn’t take any other details,” she says, sitting at a table in her recently deep-cleaned bar. “We were essentially left to deal with it ourselves.”
That was her only interaction with the service, which is headed by the former TalkTalk chief executive and Tory peer Dido Harding. “My perception was that businesses keep all the contact details and then pass them on if there’s an outbreak,” says Underhill. “But that’s not what happened.”
Instead, Underhill and another member of staff spent Sunday contacting the 42 people who had been in the bar on Saturday. She even took it upon herself to examine CCTV to identify the people that had close contact with Wilson. “People were massively worried. We are a little town – we don’t expect these kinds of things to happen,” she says. No one advised her what to say to her anxious regulars.
[...]
Underhill and her family were also hounded, with some in the town furious that she had reopened the bar on Monday. She claims her 18-year-old daughter fled from a supermarket in the town after other shoppers yelled that she was “infected” and should be in isolation. It got so bad that Underhill resigned from her other job as an HR manager for a manufacturing company on Tuesday. “I’m having to shield my staff from abuse and look after my family. There’s no way at the moment I can do all of that while working full time,” she says.

The Tories are unspeakable murderers. However, I have no sympathy for spivs who open for business during a pandemic and risk the lives of others - whether they partake of their inessential "services' or not. They should be shamed out of civil life.

I think it's saying that the bodies own massive response in attempting to repel Covid19 can produce a fatal response.
And you’d have the business go bust and staff lose their jobs, I presume.

Shocking how brazen the Spivs are with the push to consume the most superficial tat going. Is that all they have in their locker ? Outside of most of the retired who are through-and-through leisure consumers, and those that are too young to know better, they seem to be meeting resistance in a return to 'normal'.
Anyway, Harding, good job, good value for money...

I have no idea what the levels of take up are at pubs, restaurants etc. I hope it's a fraction of what it was prior to the lockdown though and they are forced to shut their Covid19 incubators.

Oh sorry, as you were. Gove just said no need to mandate the wearing of masks in shops.The murderer looking to bring in a measure that continental Europe and even Scotland have had in place for some time.

Face coverings are already compulsory on transport in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus.www.bbc.co.uk

...and then you did exactly that. You're weighing up the loss of earnings with the loss of good health and / or life itself.
The trade they involve themselves in, whether you or they like it or not, takes place in environments that are overwhelmingly likely to be at the centre of infection. Opening them cant be rationalised in any way.
I deleted my post Dave prior to you replying , I don’t want a row
