Well yeah, but when the whole country have made such an effort to try to sort this, it seems that it all seems to be for nowt.
Thats the thing about sport, its really important, but actually isnt.
One of the reasons the food industry has been so badly hit by the virus - they are third in number of cases after hospitals and care homes - is that non-salaried staff only get one day's sick pay in a lot of places and can't afford to live on statutory sick pay. So the temptation is to go into work even when you think you may have the virus.
It’s complicated for those who can work from home but have been going into the office as the government have been pushing for more people to attend the office.
As proven by our work telling everyone to stay at home whilst they ask the government for a more clear guideline, and I work in a government department.
Bear in mind just two weeks ago we were all told to expect to be back in by the end of the year and everyone must go in at least once a fortnight.
Nothing has been clear around people attending offices and who can and can’t work from home since this began.
If you have to leave something open to interpretation then you’re going to cause confusion.

Restaurant chefs had the worst covid19 infection rate.
So the girl in my missus work was back in today, shes been off for 2 weeks, but shes still ill, coughing all over everybody.
She ended up having murder with the boss and walking out, some people in the work place even refused to talk to her or help her do her job.
Shocking.

She should be off on sick pay. What's the situation there regarding days off?

Be very interested to see your working out on that. Last time I looked, about 95% of cases were non food/restaurant related
SSP.
But again, from what you're describing there, all that is at the discretion of your company is it not?
Gov originally said whoever can work from home do, whoever can't go in (or furlough).
Then people started being reintroduced to offices but not forced to - can't remember if the gov even advised this for offices or not? Maybe just wanted people to come off furlough (Company decision).
Now it's back to the original guidance which again is still your companies decision at the end of the day.
Be interesting to see what they do with furlough that ends next month.

Well you cant live off that like.
Chalk this up to the government ultimately, although a bit of solidarity from her co-workers wouldn't go amiss.

Rate of covid19 deaths.
Security guards, chefs and taxi drivers most likely to die from coronavirus
The Office for National Statistics found the three occupations had the highest rate of Covid-19 deaths among men, and were significantly higher than doctors and nurses.

She didn't want to go in, as I say, shes still very ill.
Lets hope that shes not still highly infectious.

That's the sort of Hobson's choice all over the econmy that the murderers are offering people: kill the people you work with or care for, or kill your standard of living.

Data in April.
Chefs were 3rd, amongst men. Data sample less than 3000.
But you post.
