Saw the wife once at about 4pm in her pajamas coming out to throw something into her wheelie bin which is now still sitting at the front of her house.

I’d advise you to have a read of the technical discusssions thread right next to this one so you can get some understanding of what is happening before mak8ng sweeping statements like that.

Listen to local radio and national media broadcasts regarding the current weather situation. So there ye have it. Doesnt get any clearer than this. Pretty much stating country, especially red areas, should just close down / not open tomorrow

It seems to me that people want to have the government/company/employer tell them it is ok to stay at home because they think this means they won't have to take leave and/or will get paid. The first question you and everyone else has to ask yourself is whether your job is vitally necessary for the health and/or safety of others? If it is, you have a responsibility to take a risk and go to work e.g. a paramedic. If it is not, the second question you need to ask is whether losing a day's pay or a day's leave is worth it? If you don't believe your own safety is worth a day's pay, then you know the answer.
