The british Govt has announced that if Bird flu breaks out all sporting events and all concerts will be banned. Is this right to target performers? We all know the bug will be spread at work,in the office, in the school, on the train,on the bus, in the supermarket etc. Why do they single out one group of people to make unemployed in such a circumstance. And will they offer compensation to these self-employed workers for your pleasure? Will they hell!
This is not to trivialise the enormity of such an outbreak, but as a sound bite to show they care, banning us from working is pretty pathetic in the big picture.
