But if you've got a gadgy fitting a kitchen in your house all day for a least 6 hours that's hardly minimising contact is it? Or are they only allow d to work for a set amount of time per day?

You know the answer Randy. Stop being so obtuse
You can minimise all contact and ban everyone from leaving home ............... whilst simultaneously driving the economy off a cliff.
This measure is aimed at minimising non-essential contact , like having your mates or family round for a few bevies. not preventing people from working.

Nobody knows the answers because every single restriction or 'freedom' contradicts one another.You know the answer Randy. Stop being so obtuse

And someone Marton couldn’t meet a mate in the Pied Pi
The country has certainly lost its mind. It’s killed 0.07 percent of the population and the majority old or ill. 1 million women have missed vital breast cancer screening. God knows how many other poor souls have gone under the radar with other deadly cancers and heart conditions. Mental health issues, domestic violence, loneliness all rocketing and all of these ‘cures’ will claim far more victims than the disease.

None of those other illnesses matter Jim. There are those who genuinely believe that statement aswell believe it or not. Some statements I've heard recently defending the obsession with covid-19 cases include,
"Cancer isn't contagious"
"The hospitals have always been open, having your surgery put back indefinitely is not our fault"
"Here we can't do anything about your tooth at the moment, here have a DIY kit and fix it yourself but still pay us your taxes".

No money involved perhaps?
It's why you can go to the pub and sit at the next table to your mate but not on separate chairs a metre apart at home.

Pubs are Covid secure apparently.....petty the people who go in them having a few pints, forgetting about social distancing and mask wearing aren’t.

It's up to the pubs to make sure they behave properly. No chance of that happening in our understaffed establishments

I'm sat here shaking my head in dismay.
Engage your brains please.
You can't be moaning about the effects on the economy and public and mental health and questioning why you can go into a hopefully regulated pub and not in someone's home where there is likely little to no regulation.
If you are having workmen in do you sit and talk to them for 6 to 8 hours or let them get on with their job?
It's hard not socialising, but it's also far less essential than keeping the economy ticking over and preventing long term pain to millions.
The longer people try and get round the guidelines, the longer they'll end up facing them which in itself is counterproductive. If we closed pubs do you honestly think that would mean people wouldn't just socialise at home far more and keep the virus spreading and in circulation?
I'm no fan of the government, but this is a public health matter and it's up to the public to balance daily life with reducing infections and its about time people stopped relying on government and the rules and took some responsibility and exercised their ability to do what no amount of government rules can manage, control the spread of the virus.
