• It isn't only 'essential workers' that should be on public transport though. It's also anyone who can't work from home in the majority of businesses that aren't shut down.
    There also seems to be a widespread assumption that the only 'essential workers' are NHS staff when plenty of hi vis jacket roles are equally essential.

    OK but did I misunderstand that the idea was for non-essential businesses that can't do wfh to shut down for the time being? Precisely to avoid having lots of people out and about that aren't really strictly necessary right now?

  • Yes. It's only Retail, Hospitality and Leisure that are shut down. Working in other people's homes (other than maintenance/repairs) is also out.
