I notice the Vauxhall factories are shutting temporary today for a month or two . won't be a problem finding the people with the right skills that's for sure
    Mozz, you are absolutely right.

    One of the largest employers in the city where I live, is a car company (Wuling). They set up a medical mask production line within about a week.
    Their huge army of mechanical /electrical engineers, in conjunction with the machinery manufacturers, soon had a production line running.

    Sounds a terrible situation mate, hopefully it doesn’t hit you too hard. The government have to put something in place for people who are struggling otherwise you’re right there will be riots.

    God knows why schools are still open, it seems completely mad to me.

    I am not generally a gloom and doom merchant on here but I have also thought that looting may very well be a problem in the coming months.

    We rioted for a week almost country wide because a drug dealer got shot on the way to kill someone.

    I can only imagine what it will be like once businesses go under and people stop getting paid.

    If I was a delivery driver for one of those supermarkets I'd be worried as well - likelihood of being "held up" by 21st century highwaymen must be a possibility...

    i would have thought that from the point you stop paying it will take a couple of months to get to the point where you no longer have service - and by that time government intervention will have done something about it.

    anyway lets hope so.

    Food and power are the main things you need to have.

    Can you really see millions of people locking themselves away for twelve weeks at any time? Judging by what France are doing, I think it's not just the elderly and the vulnerable that will be expected to do it soon - people will start off with good intentions, but will soon start rebelling and risking whatever punishment they'll be threatened with.

    There were people looting the houses down Nantgarw that were abandoned during the floods.

    Nothing will surprise me.

    The same Lancet that retracted the Wakefield article more than a decade ago. That's a pretty weak attempt at discrediting a pretty widely respected journal.

    Exactly anything that has an issue will be pushed to the wall quickly. Do you think this virus isn't going to have a huge eefect on the economy?

    Struggling businesses will be the first to go, many more will follow.

    They need propping up and fast!
    Mr Indecisive passing the buck is not helping matters and the guidance being broadcast of how to claim off the DWP once the unthinkable has happened is just crass!

    I honestly don't think our Govt. - or any govt. for that matter - seriously expects the 12/14 weeks quarantine to be maintained. My hunch is they're hoping for something like 2 weeks before everyone starts 'breaking out'. Much better than telling people it's going to be 2 weeks and then seeing people on the streets after 2/3 days.

    If I'm wrong and the timescales are accurate, there won't be anything left to return to - jobs, business, economy, nothing..

    It's just a financial stimulus. It can be more effective than just giving to the banks.
    Hong Kong did something very similar recently

    Re: Coronavirus update

    Has anyone read the Imperial College study? It can be found here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imp...16-03-2020.pdf

    The major challenge of suppression is that this type of intensive intervention package – or something equivalently effective at reducing transmission – will need to be maintained until a vaccine becomes available (potentially 18 months or more) – given that we predict that transmission will quickly rebound if interventions are relaxed.
    There are hundreds of thousands of very worried people who can't financially support themselves for any real length of time (see majority of the self-employed, lower wages, or single parent families) and we've just had 10 years of cuts to services that are now going to be relied on.
