I'm wondering if I should get a temperature checker and zap their foreheads as they walk in the door as I'm a bit worried about the increase. But surely if someone had a temperature they would look and feel ill?

Not really. I've met a few people that tested positive at some point and they were completely asymptomatic. Myself I got a blood test two weeks ago and it showed antibodies, meaning I have passed covid at some point and haven't had any flu symptoms  whatsoever for a year!, but then I've met others (family members come to mind) who got really sick... so it's a bit of a mistery this covid thing. However, if getting that plastic temperature gun makes you and your clients feel safer I would say go for it.

Do you mean some could have it but not have a temperature?

I don't think there is any way to tell a 100%. What about all these 'false' positives that have made the news recently 

If people want to work then they should work

A lot of reccomendations, warnings and "you-musts" in the speech but no actual enforcements, although they mentioned something about new stricter rules for pubs. This speech is going to restrict travel, movement of people and put of companies sending their employees back to work which is not good for us. That's all fine but then government needs to continue the furlough. If all this is going to stop my clients form visiting me (which it will) and hugely affect my business, as a tax payer I expect the government to continue furloughing me as a self employed person.

Can I ask how you go about getting the blood test you mentioned? Sounds like a good idea

😁

I still don't get the temperature checker thing. I get people can be asymptomatic but what about people with a temperature, do they feel ill? Cos no point in getting a checker if people feel ill and are in bed. 🤔

Also, there's many reasons why someone can have a high temperature that are not covid related. My stepmother has been with flu symptons this week and high temperature, the covid test came out negative, she just had a common cold.
