It's all just common sense isn't it really. If ill with a cold, flu or virus, my going out less would lessen the number of people I'd infect with my filth, if I were even up to strength to do that anyway.
And whilst I'm just as likely to infect someone popping off to the shops for 10 minutes, I'd have to be having an epic sneezing or coughing fit, cough directly at every handle and counter I'd come across, maybe shake the shopkeeper's hand to congratulate them on their excellent running of their establishment whilst I'm at it.
Fair to say 'those laid low' by any illness would likely get their skivvy to do all the chores and stock up supplies.
So whilst those that can work at home, should do so. In fact any person with some sense of hygienic civic responsibility shouldn't even need to be told anyway. It's the fact that many are just ignorant to basic human etiquette.
And those in front-line services command all our respect, simply for doing their job regardless, in full knowledge that they're essentially at high risk of contracting this particular virus. Some jobs you simply can't plead the "But what about" card, such is their burden of responsibility to maintain a functioning society,
And to those that simply can't afford to abscond from office-esque workplaces or are too selfish for fear of loss of earnings need to get their priorities straight. Surely better safe than sorry for a few bucks?

Admittedly, I have only read this from one source but if verified as being true, that is appalling behaviour by our government.
