So they said, but there was a an exChief Medical Officer on BBC this morning that implied that they are still progressing the Herd Immunity concept but over a longer period, amd he advised the BBC presenter that they should question the government on this.

Is this fear of mixing, unable to travel, or other reasonable reason or just that people don't want to do the job? Do the government need to be maybe firmer with those whose salaries they are picking up? My wife said she did the job one season while a student, lots of those not at college at the moment.
If I had to, I would do it.

I did it when I was teenager, picking Strawberries on the outskirts of Liverpool in the mid-80's. Great when it's sunny, not so much when it isn't.
