I’m paying the cleaner to stay at home and think this is the right thing to do for us in our particular circumstances. But the person paying the cleaner is also taking a risk by them coming in? If both want to take that risk then surely that’s fair? No imbalance of risk surely

The risk goes in all directions but it's not somehow a fair and balanced risk in all circumstances The workers have to see more different customers in the course of a week than vice versa, the bulk of the risk falls on them

I mean, this should be common sense I've interacted with retail workers all my life but it was when I was working retail that I suddenly got sick way more often Everyone who's worked that kind of job knows it - you can't avoid "flu season" in a face-to-face job

This is largely why the outbreaks hit care homes and meat packing plants so hard in Canada. Care homes outsource to the lowest bidders, who work multiple locations. The only way you can really live off those wages is if you share a home with 3-5 other wage-earners.

The people used to living in those conditions are mostly immigrants. (And so people in power shift the blame to the "culture" of those communities, and away from the economic systems which relied on that culture, and utterly failed to protect the workers and patients.)
