The bizarre thing about this is that even if the HT was self-isolating they would have been expected to be online and working at home. No idea how they thought they would get away with it.

Of course, if the government just left folk alone to get on with things there wouldn't be the need for grassing. Such a society may just result in a calmer, more considerate populace in the end.
