They are putting our packages on the doorstep, pressing the door bell, stepping back a few metres and waiting for us to open the door. They aren't getting us to sign for anything. They just don't some near us at all. --- End quote --- They do collections too --- End quote --- Sure, but they are handling these in a similar way. "Please madame, put the package on the ground. Step back. Do NOT approach the package. We will handle this situation.". Out comes the sterilising spray gun. |

They don’t. Neither my Hermes or UPS guys bother with that. Hand it person to person. |
| Simon:
It varies and they are under pressure. In my case they stand well back, they are practically turning to leave when I open the door and just want quick confirmation of my name. |

I recall seeing quite a few references showing lower oxygen levels on a person with a mask. That and a few lethal accidents where the driver passed out while wearing a mask. It is summer here and the use of a mask outside is very noticeable. For the delivery drivers and their open trucks (no AC), I think it would be a very dangerous combination. --- End quote --- This has be debunked about 1000 times. The videos people are putting up to show it depletes oxygen levels are measuring the exhaled air. If your air goes in at 20% O2 and comes back out at 20% O2 you are... well... dead. Thus it is perfectly normal for air to go in at 20% O2 and come back out at around 18.5% O2. Even the concentration of air trapped behind the mask rising in CO2 concentration and dropping in O2 concentration is a bit dumb to consider. You breath well over a litre of air each breath, the handful of cm3 of air behind the mask will not cause any issues. Go and watch the dozens of videos of doctors, nurses and fitness specialists testing this with Blood O2 saturation meters on people, themselves and on athelites on tread mills wearing masks. |

for 30 quid you can buy an oximeter that is put on your finger, prove it for yourself if you have to |
