21 uni son is home and trying to find temp work.

He's just been offered a position in a warehouse that pack lingerie, adult toys etc.

Should they not be closed?

A lot of on !ine businesses are still operating, as long as they look after their staff should be okay if hes not in a vunerable group.

Ah right, thanks. My mistake.

My son in law works in a warehouse. They have masks, gloves and the 2 metre distance from workmates rule in place. No interaction between anyone and no customer facing tasks. Probably safer than supermarket work.

We are not at the point of banning all non essential work yet

So long as they keep to the 2m rule and provide PPE, it is okay

It's all fine. They are a small warehouse. It sounds like quite a few staff need to be at home, and they've just recruited more. They've switched from a single shift pattern to split shifts and DS said he had PPE and space.

He's earning some money, out of house for a bit (which is good for all three of us) and getting some good exercise (11 miles there and back on his bike).
