In the Moe club a few members work in essential services or have spouses that do and if they are forced to self isolate, then there are problems for others. A couple of examples, were brought to my attention. One member works in the control room of a power station. Not too many around to replace him. His absence and that of others there could effect the national grid. Also the missus runs a pathology lab in Gippsland and her absence would create a few problems for others as would another member whose spouse is a casualty nurse. The issue imposed on us has broader implications than you think.
Dave, those are just examples of bad managment. Either person has a holiday entitlement, could go down with the flu or hit by a bus. The truth is that from a work perspective anyone could be replaced inside a day.
Not so true from a family perspective but I still work from the addage that life is to be lived.
As for Barrys zero risk, the reality is it's just not possible. I'd hazad a guess that more people will die in their own house from other negligable risks than to COVID. Those AT risk can manage this how they see fit.
Life is a fatal condition, do with it what you will.
