Re: Coronavirus update

I don't know why we didn't all get imposed self isolation a month ago, short term pain for long term gain.

It's going to be like this for 3 months now I'd say, especially because for some reason schools are still open.

The effect on the economy is going to be huge, I can't imagine how most businesses are going to survive this.

The report suggests a lot longer than that

Maybe yes, but balanced against how many people back then thought it was a fuss over nothing (let alone now) it would never have worked.

Are you for real?

Imagine firstly trying to make this a partisan issue, then once you’ve done that trying to defend the current governments slow reaction to this even in the face of all the evidence.

Re: Coronavirus update

totally agree in terms of time we need to cut corners but I,m sure Bojo and his advisers are working on that right now cutting through the red tape of regulations in these serious times . We were looking at medical device products today at lunchtime and looking at the products we think the automotive companys would be best to use for assembly . they have some very clever Manufacturing Engineers both in manual and automated processes . 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.
