so as it stands 'i assume' when we peak these people by now are already infected and many wont even know because its early stages, the transfer from person to person is now in recess and has been for a few days although the figures will not show this for a while
 
I'm over 60 and if I could sign a donor card to allow doctors to prioritise younger people over me I'd sign it now. If I catch it, one of you youngsters can have my respirator and I'll take my chances at home. Pawning the future to save me a few years and possible Alzheimer's wouldn't be my choice but, then, as someone (the girlfriend) reminded me today, it's not all about me.

Every life is worth trying to save unfortunately some people don’t have a choice how would your children/ grandchildren feel sit down have a brew and we’ll all hopefully get through this,
 
I'm not sure vouchers could be defined as an 'easy fix' to targeted spending for a helicopter drop. The logistics for the amounts per person being talked about in itself would cost a fortune just in public education literature and consumer/provider implementation would be on a scale that it would take more than 3 months at least to even make it ready for public use.

Had to google if this has ever been done in voucher form before as i've never heard of that and could only find an instance in Macau where each resident got USD 300.00 shopping voucher...probably all went to the casino with it.

in principle it’s piss easy. It targets the spending where it needs to be targeted. Logistics implementation and priorities however...

Very honourable but I thought you said you had at Christmas? Hopefully you’ll be fine.
