Silly me.
It’s not often we agree but I’ll make an exception in this case! 
It’s all very well and good pontificating and criticising from a position of having a pension, a lifetime of savings, no mortgage or other significant outgoings. Unfortunately not everyone is in that position.
The 80% thingymagig ONLY applies when a worker is furloughed by his/her company. If they elect not to come to work they only receive SSP on £90 odd a week. For a worker with a mortgage and a young family that could potentially see them homeless and very hungry. So whilst they may be very fearful of the risks they also face an agonising decision whether to work or not.
Fortunately for you and I Jake we do not have to make that terrible decision, but I for one cannot with a clear conscience criticise anyone who chooses to carry on with what may deemed non essential work.
