- pjc50 7y agoPaying people to not (come into) work is pretty much critical to not getting a huge number of people (not necessarily the same people!) killed in a pandemic.
- NovemberWhiskey 7y agoSurely you agree there are some workers to whom that does not apply? I'm fairly sure we can't send all the utility workers home, can we?
- pjc50 7y agoIf it's pandemic, the infected workers have to be sent home to avoid infecting others. This is actually even more important for the essential workers. Otherwise you end up with them all off sick at once.
- NovemberWhiskey 7y agoThere's literally no-one here disputing that sick workers should get to stay home. What's being discussed is the proposition that healthy workers who decide to self-isolate should be paid to do so.
- Zenbit_UX 7y agoIf you don't pay them to stay home they'll come back to work sick and infect others. Not everyone can rely on a hefty savings to pay their rent.
