If we all assume we're infected (whether we are or not) and act in a way to not infect others, then each of us, in our own little way, will help to control the spread of the virus.
Too many people in this country, and others, want big brother to tell us what to do because we've lost the common sense to think for ourselves. It seems, until the government tell us how to act we'll carry on regardless.
As individuals, we are expendable to the greater good of saving millions of lives. But, equally, as individuals we have the power (quite literally) in our own hands to help stem the spread of the virus.
It's not that difficult to comprehend, surely?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

If the government says "you must", then they can at least claim for loss of earnings, pay their staff, etc.

It doesn't, but that's the point of insurance companies - they take risks so that their customers don't have to.
And since the UK economy is built on finance, if Dom says "make it a suggestion, not a requirement", then he's only letting small businesses fail, not the big donors.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I do feel its the Insurance sector lobby whispering in Boris and Cummings ear, "hey we'll lose money if you mandate a shutdown, just suggest it..."
Looks like the Insurance companies might find out they were on an 'inside pandemic' gig all along.Comment
