How many deaths are preventable?....we can all play a part in that!!
Death isn’t preventable. It happens us all, someday. Some before others and some because of illness. Cest  la vie

Don't be so pedantic Vik.....of course we're all gonna die but in the current circumstances a lot of deaths can be prevented and in particular healthcare workers,of course it's mainly pension pullers that are taking the hit.

What are you doing now to prevent the spread of the virus when you do return to work, the virus won't have gone away, are you merely delaying the spread or have you a plan?

Delaying the spread...that's what the health experts want us to do and giving us 350 p/w to do it,we will have peaks and troughs until a vaccine is produced,i have no doubt we'll all get it once we're back in the real world but hopefully not in the numbers that will overwhelm the health service....at the moment i'm presuming there isn't enough work that would justify me driving up to the smoke from Drog....inanyways,i'm following the guidelines,if drivers feel that they're essential let them at it...i can't get the perspex at the mo that FN demonstrated constructing that will stop you getting the virus.

There will always be exceptions but unfortunately for some they'll be dead before they know it.

Being delivered today, they rang and said I could collect it if I wanted to save the delivery charge.

Another little project to keep me occupied while the government pay me to do DIY, the virus will be around long after we return to work and passengers will probably start demanding such features
I notice my local paint shop is doing deliveries as well

Very good..what size sheet did you purchase?
I wouldn't mind a divider between myself and passengers anyway...but would like to check that such a screen is acceptable to both NTA and insurance and that it would meet safety criteria...if there is such a thing?

I believe free now uploaded a useful video of one of their staff fitting a sneeze guard to a vehicle, Lynk are advertising having sneeze guards on their vehicles but I'd say that's Ebbs fitting them to his rental fleet, if you want one in your own heap it's pay for yourself I'd imagine

I'm laughing at this thread but if yis are messing with the interior make sure you're not obstructing the airbags.Some of the pictures I've seen show a connection between the front side air bags and the rear side ones on the ceiling.

At worst they might not deploy properly or they could just set off a fault code.Find out where the sensors are.

Ebbs one looks like it's flexible plastic like the cover on a buggy.The Freenow one is just dangerous IMO.

Good time to buy a van.

Maybe...couriers are essential services too at the moment.But maybe if we have to change a multi-seater might be a good bet.Even the Prius plus can squeeze 5 in the back with the front passenger area closed off.
