COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Its crazy the absolute chaos this is causing when seeing such a small portion of the global population infected

At the current rate it will be five million in a few weeks.

Deaths?

Sadly yes.

Agreed and no/less commute and petrol costs in general. If you have a season ticket I believe they are refunding you

That doesn’t figure in our costs as we work from home or charge travel expenses. But when I did travel to work I paid approximately £400 per month on fuel, so it would have been a huge saving.

For many people who spend a lot of money socialising they are unlikely to be worse off if receiving 80% of income. Sadly there are many families who don’t have enough money to socialise and will be worse off.

For the average Joe commuting is a cost, socialising and lunches whilst at work or otherwise are a chunk of outgoings I imagine. Now some costs are transferred such as needing more food at home and more utilities being used but in my humble, 80% is a fair offer by the government and should see those benefitting from it through. Hopefully

Sadly, but not surprisingly, it would appear that yesterday’s low death count was an abnormal blip

 

[SWP's back]

Unfortunately yes

Sadly yes.

awful

Wrong

Surely this is expected as more tests are being done?
