It is nice to see SPa gradually starting work again! But again the controversy arises as to whether they should or not. I am hoping that this thread will not the become the kind of trash talk that a similar subject had become at the beginning of this pandemic!
My take on this is simple. It is up to each individual SP to decide when the moment is right for her to ease back into work. As they do this they each have their different approach to it. We should get familiar with what their wishes are as they become responsible for their safety, yours and that of others. Most require screening for health issues and others. Cleanliness and personal hygiene is a big one, hand washing being high on the list. These are all things we should be doing anyway! I know that, personally, I would be totally embarrassed to be turned away because I stink or because I am carrying bucket loads of dirt under my long fingernails and unwashed hands.
It is pretty simple. If we respect our SP and follow her directions we can start enjoying their company again.
Not all SPs will be the same. Some are easing in now, some choose to wait a little longer. But it is all good. It is a personal decision and there is no right or wrong in this matter. We should all respect the decision they make and BE KIND TO EACH OTHER!!
