Not so much a case of being forced to do take part in something which exacerbates the risk, some (most) folks may have no choice. As one of those who is classed as extremely vulnerable I have been under house arrest for 8 weeks now with another 4 to go. Thankfully retired so no work to worry about, even if I was I know that my former employer would instruct me to stay at home and keep me on full pay. However sooner or later I would have been expected to return, now that would be interesting.
My wife's cancer treatment has been affected, sooner or later she will have to go back to hospital to continue her treatment and we will both have to venture back into the wider world.
Those not affected too much will be fine; those of use who may become seriously affected will have some difficult decisions to make. Maybe even life threatening ones.
One thing for certain there will be a new normal.
