These days everyone has heard of PPE (even if they are mistaken about what is and isn't PPE).

The pandemic is also now spreading the Swiss cheese model which is familiar to some from accident causation theory:

But of course they didn’t mention that the model was really developed by and for H&S professionals because of course we are just  fun hating obsessives with a clipboard and a bad hair. James Reason is described as, “a cognitive psychologist” , which is better than a H&S guru if you re talking  to those nice people who live on Hampstead Heath.  

Anyway I think that nine slices is too many slices!
