COVID-19 — Coronavirus

FWIW, Italy's stats updated again. A bad day with figures higher than we might have hoped. +627 more dead is clearly terrible and whilst the numbers continue to climb, their health service struggles more and more. But there is still a downward trend on the percentage of new daily deaths.

Worth pointing out that their last 5 days have seen under 20% growth in the numbers of deaths. Whereas the previous 13 days only saw 2 days below that level.
 
didn't sound like any imminent promise of a lockdown, in fact Boris was going the other way and saying he absolutely wasn't to go to stop every form of social interaction.

I wonder how long this philosophy can genuinely last. More concerned with the longevity more than anything.

What are the implications for the self-employed?

My thoughts exactly. We run a cafe in a seasonal area and only realistically have a window of 6-7 month to earn. We will still have to pay the tenure and we are locked in to the contract for another 2 years. We only employ ourselves as the area isn't exactly rocking. Pay ourselves less than minimum wage. Looks like we're screwed.

Telling everywhere to shut is a big step

That’s going into a different subject of which I will most likely agree with you on the majority of points you make.

Now though all staff that make an actual difference in this country and world should be viewed upon and thanked as the same as NHS staff. Like I’ve said the majority of my family are in the NHS so I know all about it but sometimes the members think their job is the only one that is worthwhile to society.
