I'm sure if they wernt confident and capable and also accepting of the risks they dont have to do it. They will more than likely be paid as well as getting a tick in the 'you are qualified' box a bit earlier. Their oath to saving lives would be a stronger pull than their self protection, it's in their make up of wanting to do the job. It could happen to them at any time through infection and transfer.

My younger daughter manages a high dependency care home. She is currently living, in a small flat, with one of her own daughters, who is a mental health nurse, and her 3 year old, my great granddaughter. All have suffered CV symptoms in the past week or so and have had to isolate. It's been a struggle. Both my daughter and granddaughter have been doing what they can over their phones but cannot wait to get back to work. They know they are needed. They found a big box on groceries and other essentials on their doorstep the other day with a note from a neighbour they hardly know. When they thanked them from their balcony. and offered payment, it was refused with a smile. Random acts of kindness are everywhere. I am seeing them here in our village too. Someone said the other day that our grandfather's (in my case father's) generation had to face guns, bombs and rationing to help the nation survive. All we are being asked to do is sit on the sofa. So asking the willing to help those on today's front line seems perfectly sensible to me. If you can, you should. In my opinion of course! For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I'm at work as I have been told I'm a key worker. Boiler and associated plant maintenance in residential buildings.

If they are cold they just want it fixed at whatever cost.

The logic also being that if the Director goes who runs the company and legally every limited company has to have at least one Director. If the company has two or more Directors I am unsure if the other Director can be furloughed. I stand open to correction from anyone with superior knowledge. Bring back Brolin
