Posted on 19/01/2021 14:12 by MethevenI have no vested interest in anyone but myself and family, but regarding the police where would we be without law and order, they are thin on the ground now. For the likes of 'LLM' he can close his door to all and sundry along with his own assessment of risk taking, the police on the other hand go to work each day not knowing how many strangers they will come into contact with and how those contacts will react to them, then they have to go home to their families.
Police are frontline and can 'jump the queue' as 'LLM' puts it as far as I'm concerned. I can wait in relative safety having my choice of my contacts, they cannot.

If it was my responsibility to set out out the priority list it would be as follows:
NHS workers on the front line - high chance that contacts already have Covid]
Police on the frontline - having frequently to deal with the dregs of society who can be "in your face"
Shop workers - meeting hundreds of different workers every day
Teachers seeing a large number everyday but likely to be the same ones
Fire fighters - towards the back of any list as probably don't have much contact with the public whilst fighting fires

Firefighters do more than fight fires. My late brother frequently had to cut people out of vehicles, alive or dead and I assume it’s the same now. Didn’t have time to ask them to put a mask on, take their temperature etc.
On a more general point of who should be next it gets very complicated, shop workers and owners (lots of small independent shop workers work in confined spaces) teachers, Police, delivery drivers, transport workers, restaurant/ take-away staff (if we want them to open safely)the list goes on.
Surely the aim of the priority list was to reduce the number dying and protect the NHS.

We took our motorhome in for it's MOT today. The garage owner pointed out a lone car left outside the workshop. He wasn't able to touch it, an AA or RAC man had brought it in, the owner had broken down somewhere and after the car had been loaded onto the pick up truck the owner explained "I've got Covid but I just fancied a drive out."
An every day tale of working folk.

Part of me wishes that was true.

Posted on 19/01/2021 16:36 by CornersteadyBut if too many fire fighters are ill then what happens when there is a fire?
