What would you do ?

[Betty1233]

I’m a temp on min wage for a government employer .
My role is redundant for now( will be up and running at some point when safe) but I am doing office work for them now, doing jobs that people who are isolating do, well above my station but never mind .

Thing is I get the train in and I’m worried . I don’t need the money as have savings etc .
I’m 30. I just feel really worried and keep thinking is it worth it to go in. I don’t want to get or spread the virus . Today our staff members had some contact with other staff who may have had contact with the virus. Daily there are ‘scares’My household are working from home ( all adults).

On the flip side I’m terrified of being unemployed again , this job could be a good opportunity for me and is ongoing.

Any thoughts?

It's really tricky. Things I would look at - Are you somewhere where public transport is exceptionally high risk (i.e. tube)? Do you have any underlying health conditions? How long would your savings last you? How easy do you think it would be to get another job. Ultimately, your job/savings are worthless compared with your life. Many people have no choice but to go on working however if you have the choice, you need to weigh up the risks very carefully and some of those will depend on your location/health.
