So a couple of weeks ago it was Leicester and the general view seemed to be that the culprit was poor working conditions in some very sketchy workplaces. And where there have been specific outbreaks identified these have often also been workplace related. I wonder then how they're apparently so convinced the issue here is transmission in the home?
Because it always has been the single biggest means of transmission from day one. A lot of the stuff in Leicester was likely related to the living conditions as well not just the sweat shops themselves. Same with that outbreak on the fruit picking farm, workers were not contracting it out in the fields it was the overcrowded living conditions provided for seasonal workers.
Poorer people live in crowded homes. They also live in areas of poor air quality and are far more likely to have existing respiratory conditions. This should be undisputed and the government has to act to protect people. I'm not going to go into bat for the government on this but I do understand why they have done it.
