COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Ban-jani]

Hospitality and entertainment all forced to shut.

Employment coronavirus scheme looks great to be fair.

Economically we're fucked in the long term anyway, we just need to try and get to the long term.

Yep - this is 2008 or maybe worse, again.

People need to stop been selfish cunts now, the government are doing their bit, Richard Branson better not apply for cash, he needs to get his hand in his pocket, along with a few other billionaires.

Self employed people can access statutory sick pay now - in full.

Very good from the chancellor again. Shows the gravity of the situation but also puts the country in a tough position in the coming years.

[Winchester]

I'm not a Tory
But think our Government are doing their best
So good news with today's announcements

 

[SWP's back]

Jesus this is going to cost the country a fortune, we will be recovering from this for decades.

Matters not at 0.5%

This is about saving the economy and workers now

 

[Bovril]

Future PM without a shadow of doubt where did he come from ?

 

[Summerbuzz]

Well I feel the least I can do is wash my hands again.

Seriously, this is the best time EVER to give up smoking. Get on the vape, or get some Niquitin-mini, or just go for it... for cold turkey, it's a week of cravings which improve after 48 hours, and are eased by your BP lowering, which will give you the oddest feeling (in between cravings) of being less anxious and wound up than in living memory.

You'll possibly save your life,or possibly save the lives of others by minimising your risk of taking up an ICU bed.

We’ll be fucked for years to come after this but we have no choice.

Chancellor calling it “generation defining moment”.

He’s like Blair this new Chancellor, in his communication and charisma.

A seriously impressive individual.

Im a bit emotional.

This is wartime funding, will be loans that will be going on for a 100 years or so.

 

[Chippy_boy]

About bloody time!
He’s shutting bars, restaurants, gyms, theatres, nightclubs down from tonight.

Agreed. About bloody time.

I got an email not 10 minutes ago from a colleague saying that California declared an official "stay at home" rule (can only go out for food/emergencies of face $1,000 on the spot fine).

If it was just us we’d be fucked. As it’s the whole world, then it’ll be fine as all economy’s will be shot - if that makes sense?
