    Cheltenham was after that. Do you think it was at all justifiable to let Cheltenham go ahead, or was it grossly negligent?

    That’s literally the point. Lockdown should have been earlier.

    That's understandable, I would be too. Three deaths is three too many. The place needs shutting down until it's safe to return.

    It’s a food processing plant, in terms of hygiene it’s on a par with hospitals. How would you like to make it safer

    Not a chance would they do that when there's money to be made. They won't even hire enough people to do the work in the first place but instead make the existing staff do stupider and stupider hours and work Saturdays and Sundays every 4 weeks after working Mon to Fri all week. Currently offering staff up to 80 hours a week if they want it (at least that's a choice though that my dad has turned down).

    A security guard at asos is supposedly one of the 9 who has been diagnosed, security guards go all around the warehouse including pack where most are pregnant and also do 12 hour shifts

    Not for about 18 years. But I know how food places work. Plus if as per the article the management have undertaken measures to ensure staff safety then there’s very little they can do.

    Cheltenham ended on March 19th.

    Lockdown began on March 23rd.

    That's literally the point.

    It's changed a hell of a lot in the last few years. As for the quote, management would never lie to cover their backs, would they?

    If it helps allay fears for anyone, I've processed absence statistics for a number of businesses in relation to C-19.

    9 confirmed cases out of a workforce of 3500 would be the lowest rate I've seen. Of course if there are 9 current cases and their colleagues have yet to be tested then I understand it's worrying, but it's certainly not out of the ordinary.
