You don't notice if a shelf stacker in ASDA is sick or if the postman doesn't turn up for a few days. But you do notice if your bus or train has been cancelled due staff sickness
Agree, Covid cases are really taking off again though with everything else happening in the world and the government deciding Covid is over with, it’s barely mentioned in the news. Not sure what the policy is at GNE with regard to isolation for staff who test positive but assuming they are doing the right thing and supporting those staff to isolate regardless of symptoms, that may explain the high rates of absence. And it looks set to worsen as looks like we are still on the steep incline in case numbers.
