There's a lot of jobs in the retail sector which are face to face which are allowed to be open in this spurious lockdown than were in the last one (and even that lockdown was nowhere as stringent as those that took place in Spain, France, Italy).
I didn't say you were a Tory, I said - in so many words - that you weren't holding them to account and prefer to share the blame (or hand the blame) to other actors.
This is why we primarily have governments: to keep the population secure. That means that THEY take responsibility.
But I believe they are largely to blame. However, right now, people have been told to 'stay at home' - like they were in March - yet certain employers are making them go into work when they could easily work remotely, or certain people are choosing to go into work rather than work remotely. That's surely got to also fall on people as individuals too?
What jobs in the retail sector that are 'face to face' are currently ongoing? You can't go into a shop - unless you own or run it. You can go to Halfords and then do click and collect from certain places - again, all done with strict guidance in place that you have to adhere to.
Maybe there should be stricter guidance? Maybe it should be limited to one person per stop or whatever, and limit supermarkets to that one person (unless it's someone with their kid(s) or someone who they care for or whatever? Again though, couldn't the individual chains/stores take that action without the government instructing them to do so?
