Up and down the country (UK).
If you live near a Hermes distribution centre, go and have a look at the temporary structure in their yard. I'm assuming they will be a nationwide player in this, because several of their sites have been used by the company that booked me.
I've also been to one on MOD property near Gatwick, where they were training up squaddies in how to move gurneys, and what to do if the alarm goes off (if someone locks themselves in the fridge or the temp drops). I believe it was an old military hospital, now a military trauma rehab unit, which was being dusted off for Covid casualties.
Everyone knows about the one at Birmingham Airport (nothing to do with this contract), but there's also at least one of these other large Distribution centre facilities been installed in the past month.
On top of those, I am waiting for the OK on another in that city - apparently in a specific retailer's warehouse - but the actual structure hasn't been erected yet, so it'll be a week or two before I visit to do my bit.
I'm concerned that they are going up already. Why not just put the site on notice? They could, if necessary, get them up and running in less than a week if they had enough people working on them - and with fuck all else to do, people like me will be on them like a shot. With what they have already, it puzzles me that they want more, which will (hopefully) lie empty. Why not give the green light when they get the first customers in the ones already built?
We'll find out soon enough, I imagine. September-ish?
I think I'm going to start stocking up on tinned food, properly this time. The little dress rehearsal we just had will be nothing like what's coming, I really won't be leaving the house for anything.
***Let's hope I'm wrong, but nothing I've seen from any "expert" makes me feel they can control or treat this virus, or even have a clue exactly what it is.
I'd be happier if they just said "We don't really know much more than you, stop expecting us to have all the answers. We are learning all the time, and even what we think we have learned might turn out to be false.
You might get it and die tomorrow, you might not. It's up to you if you go out, but if you do go and rub shoulders and get it, don't expect to be healed like Boris. There might be a long queue of people ahead of you, we have finite resources, and we don't know who is more likely to die. Your choice - where do you want to be? Roll the dice..."
All the fuckwits could go and hold hands, I'll be holed up at home and anyone who comes near and isn't in an Ocado van better be wearing Kevlar. Maybe I'll be shown to be the fuckwit and the hand-holders will live long and happy lives together. Time will tell.
When I go out to play, I wear condoms. I don't have to, it's not the law, but the consequences of not protecting myself were made absolutely clear 20+ years ago. I might get away with it, maybe cause the odd pregnancy, but I chose the safer, but arguably less pleasurable option. Better than being dead.***
Ahhh, OK, so the bits inside the asterisks was a little rant, not really relevant to Naughty_Felid's question, but I think I might send it in to Radio 4's Thought For The Day.
