and i think that's what's so frustrating. as it stands, people with low incomes aren't really left with any meaningful choice. work and die of an avoidable disease, or don't work and die of fucking rickets.
i also appreciate that the ability to totally isolate is a choice only the truly privileged can make.

We both work from home, annoying as it is, it is safe.
Working in food processing factories/carehomes/NHS? Good luck!
So what to do, well, knocking on doors asking if people are OK and raise a community £ fund/get the food bank donations coordinated better? I think there will be so much behind closed doors and people being ashamed to ask, but the local community is actually really OK.
Sure, that's why I stay well away from high risk events. And if I had to take care of high risk people I'd lock myself in. I am not particularly at risk cos then... I'd lock myself in. I am not saying this is the right choice for everyone.
And the UK just happily voted in Brexit/The Cons. I don't know what to do.
Because you are right, but that's not going to magically let them open their wallets and hearts. No work? Good luck starving on universal credit. (though maybe this will wake up people...? some of them at least)
Meanwhile our local pub has to close again and they have been cooking meals for people during the first lockdown.
