Furlough extended till October !!!

But with employers sharing the cost I think? Unless I have totally misheard.

The message could not be clearer:
Stay at Home. Go to Work.

Go to work if you can't work from home, Stay at home as much as poss to reduce spread of infection how is that difficult?

Furlough scheme extended till the ended October. Looks like the Government is looking at this one withering on the vine

‘For now, workers who have been furloughed will continue to get 80% of their pay, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has told MPs.

But he says changes will come in from the end of July so that the burden of paying salaries will be shared between the government and employers.‘

So it may go down at some point towards the end of July.

From end of July I think with 80% to remain but shared between Govt and employer

I said this would happen although I thought September, I expect a lockdown again around November to cover the flu period over winter as well, imagine queuing for shopping when it’s fucking freezing it’s going to be a long year.

Yes! I"m very concerned about the proposed return to schools so trying to lighten my emotional mood. My union have advised we dont do any planning until further notice and it will cause conflict at my school.

Are the schools going back? My sister has been tipped the wink that they won't until September from her teacher friends?

I’d read that UV kills it in minutes? Where have you read that it doesn’t?

Yeah UV will kill it but heat doesn't seem to effect it much.

It’s what a few people have been saying for a good while mate.

Let's hope it doesn't come to fruition, as that scenario looks utterly devastating.

Not a fucking mask or facial covering to be seen.
You shouldn't be allowed on the tube without wearing one!

The tweeter doesnt understand capacity very well does he?

If you run 1 train that's jam packed instead of 30 trains with 1 person on each, you're still at minimal capacity.

Excellent idea. Now I know where all that money I’ve saved in haircuts can be spent.
