Mozz, you are absolutely right.Originally Posted by MOZZER2
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.
thanks mate... im home with my 4 year old daughter who had a asthma attack last week.. .so shes not going to school anyways...
and wheres my mrs... she starts work at 3pm today for the last few shifts... and where is she now, out there with what ever fuel we have left in the car shopping for the elderly... one in a million she is
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.
cheers bro, me too...
every day i go up to bed and hope to wake up and it was all a dream... only every day it just gets worse
The editor of the Lancet is quoted as saying
"We have wasted 7 weeks. This crisis was entirely preventable"
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.
F*cking hell you have to be on a wind up.
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 cant believe wqe are even having to talk about all this my heads blown...
i can imagine some desperate folks will go to other measures to feed there kids... and some will do it for pure personal gain
for me im also a little worried about communications... with no money coming in, bills wont get paid... broadband mobile phone and such... virgin will no doubt cut us off as i have not heard they will freeze bills so no pay no play... wont be long and ill be shut off
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 who backed Wakefield re vaccination causing autism claims?
laura ashley stores gone... 150 stores 2.500 staff...
whos next
They were going anyway !!!!
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.
true same as flybe.. think they were hoping for a bit of a handout though,,, no chance of that now, they have obviously been told no
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..
Car Phone Warehouse....Gone
watching sky news last few hours...
trump on tv lashing out trillions of dollars to prop up business... sounds like everyone is going to recieve around $1000 like the normal joe on the street so to speak...
clear this is more than some bs virus... they springing money out of nowhere that must be hoarded in federal reserve for the end of the world type thing..
watching our lot... we were talking about doctors in london for example pleading with goverment to send ppe as they are having to make up paper towel masks as supplies are running out.. asked when supplies will arrive they could not even answer!!!
everyone moans about trump... id be on the next bloody plane out of here if the option was on the table... we are a global shambles
It's just a financial stimulus. It can be more effective than just giving to the banks.
Hong Kong did something very similar recently
Has anyone read the Imperial College study? It can be found here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imp...16-03-2020.pdf
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.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.
