COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Nails]

Well if this is socialism, then sign me up. This is impacting human society across the globe. Only essential businesses need to be kept funded and afloat.

Otherwise, households needs to be sustained with a universal amount until a vaccine is developed. My mortgage company just kicked the can down the street for three months when the payment holiday ends.

What then? Same goes for all these other initiatives. Three months pay, three months for this, three months for that.

I'm certainly no economist but why go £1trillion in the hole, if households in this country could get it instead and spend the money to essentially live, thus paying that cash directly back into the very economy it needs to keep afloat?

It's not as if people can go out and spend it on a holiday is it?

Kinnell, Tolm - you're talking political sense! First dissing Trump as an idiot and then arguing for UBI. These must surely be the end times!

Potential coronavirus treatment to be trialled in UK

A drug that could help treat coronavirus will be trialled in patients at hospitals in England and Scotland.

Remdesivir, which is manufactured by pharmaceutical company Gilead, will be tested at 15 NHS centres.

It is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent that has been demonstrated in animal models against multiple emerging viral pathogens including Mers and Sars, which are also coronaviruses.

Gilead has initiated two phase 3 randomised studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its investigational treatment Remdesivir in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19.

The starter pack should be in one of the emails.

I will wait a couple of days and see if things become a little clearer.
