Yes i still don't understand not closing school,the answer wasn't clear other than kids don't seem to be getting ill

they will have to close when those of us who work in them get ill

Are France on lockdown ?

Just announced.

Macron has told everyone to stay in their homes, guarantees that he'll help all businesses stay afloat and wipes all gas, electric and water bills for the foreseeable.

If I end up self isolating then i'm spending my time watching Trump's press conferences with the sound off.

It's comedy gold watching it this way and just making up your own dialogue to his gestures :)

Everything is tremendous

I’ve just walked through Altrincham town centre after work and every pub was busy and the gym was too.

People don’t give a shit about being given advice. If they get some time off work, they’re going to the pub!

I can’t speak for every business/pub owner, but I can give you my own numbers which would suggest that isn’t accurate.

As it stands, my pub is in growth YOY. However, this last week and in particular the weekend just gone, I have started to see the numbers drop.

Saturday was the biggest drop yet at over 60% YOY decline. It literally fell off a cliff.

Today has been horrendous. Monday is generally a quiet day anyway, right across the industry, but so far I’ve taken just £600 where I’d normally be looking at 1.5 to 2k.

I haven’t figured out how I’ll pay my staff yet, or indeed what this thing will do long term.

Tricky times indeed!

It's starting, got a friend who works in secondary, 30pc of staff are isolating for one reason or another, so closed to all except years 11 and 13 until march 30th

So what is the actual state of play with isolating now, from what I understand if you display symptoms you isolate for 7 days but now I’m hearing if you do your whole family has to isolate for 14!! So is it 7 or 14. I’m confused as fuck.

As I understand it, once you show symptoms you may have incubated it for 7 days. So 7 more days until you are clear. 14 days in total for you.

If a family member catches it off you today, they might show in 7 days and need a further 7 days to clear. Hence 14 days from now.

Not sure if that helps?

Wow that’s huge and may need to come in over here, I expect rationing as well.

Rationing ..
Bloody hell normally on a friday all the lads are ringing round for a bag of coke.
Next week itll be a bag of carrots
