Blimey I missed that; statutory sick pay for shielding people is stopping. Hancock tries to pretend this is a scientific decision rather than political #yeahright#dailybriefing
@spiral_one A handkerchief? I don't know a lot about medical masks but it sounds like it is more about the appearance of face covering (complicity) rather than a functional thing...?
So what happens if you have arthritis or hand problems and can't fasten a face mask?
Has there been any advice for disabled re Covid requirements? Anyone have links for this?
@Spoonydoc I can see that would be intrusive having to explain why you can't comply to the rules. Plus 'tuts' from others I expect.
Someone official should explain there are exceptions at the daily briefings.
There is so much potential for corruption in Government. Who really tracks where the money goes and whether kickbacks are paid. Who can actually find out if ‘favours’ are done - let alone how much they cost.
@DisabilityJ@KtTup Rules for those sheltering in Wales mean I can now go out but no shops yet. Luckily I can get shopping delivered and the internet has been a lifeline. Undecided about physical shops - queueing may be difficult (standing for very long) I just take things one day at a time.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak ready to target the triple-lock on the state pension.
