15 percent drop in gdv this year 16 percent growth next year - the world will soon again next year and people will still make money.

so it’s just people piling in now before the expected surge ?

Give over, anyone who would'nt give that a good rattling is a massive gaylord.

Haha, haven't heard that phrase since i was in school, 35 years ago

Yes, not what anyone needs right now. Was that text from your GP? It makes me wonder if they're moving the goalposts with regard to those requiring shielding.

I think they just forgot to include me up to now as I fitted the original criteria. They're advising shielding to June 30th in the text.

Just been out to buy bread and milk.
Fuck me there must be some parties planned this weekend.
Crates of booze being bought. One woman in front of me bought £39 of sausages!

I think we’ll be in lockdown again by August if we plan on relaxing restrictions next week. We’ve handled this all wrong, lockdown should have meant lockdown. No fucker let out unless they’re a key worker, a key worker isn’t a plumber fitting some sinks or a sparky putting up some lights.

No chance.

Calling all financial advisors why are the Bank of England announcing the deepest recession since records began, no update on vaccines and treatment , a 3 week extension to lockdown but the FTSE is nearly 6000?

why?

It's already lost 1,500 points from February. There is no reason to assume the economy will not rebound at the moment.

Jeez that could have been bad - just as well you've probably shielded yourself recognising that you fitted the criteria.

It's been 'relaxed' since the start of the week. First traffic jam I say in for nigh on 2 months yesterday (rare trip to the shop).
I'll take all that nonsense about wanting to be around people back. I'm a fully paid up Isolationist now! :)

This is a vid posted by that virologist Peter Kolchinsky on twitter (I find really fascinating).
I would'nt necessarily call it positive but certainly informative:
