They were going anyway !!!!Originally Posted by bluemoon
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
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
It really isn't more than a virus. Election year. If the recovery rates were very low then I would agree, but basically we are now in war time conditions.
Not due to coronavirus though.
No more free Caribbean holidays for Boris Johnson!

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!
Exactly. The company said it was because of a change in the way people get their phones.
I share some of the misgivings about figures from China, especially the early ones, but stories like this have to be encouraging, particularly if the number of new cases in recent weeks in regions that have relaxed the isolation policy are accurate.

The picture of the near-deserted pedestrian street and the one looking across to the bridge were both taken in the first week of February, the others were taken yesterday. It's not back to normal yet, but it's getting there.There have been no new reported cases in the last 19 days, that's in a city with a population of more than 3 million (locals say it's a small city!).
That pedestrian street is usually quite crowded 7 days a week, only now people are starting to venture out more.
The photo taken outside of the department store shows hand sanitizer, QR codes that you have to scan when entering and leaving (download a special app on phone), and the customary temperature check (assistant has a hand-held laser thermometer).
I finally managed to get a beer as bars are slowly starting to re-open again.

Thanks very much for that, I think that's heartening for those over here who may well have to go through something similar soon.
Cheers Rock Flock, it’s so much better reading your updates as a man on the ground, so to speak, rather than some of the shock jocks we seem to be encountering.
That is great to see, thanks Rock Flock

A piece of good news, no new cases on mainland China for a second successive day;-
Chinese coronavirus scores on the doors are: number of cases, 80,967; number of deaths, 3,248; mortality rate, 4.%.
China's population is 1,408 million, meaning one in every 433 thousand Chinese citizens thus far have died.
Unable to pinpoint any official Chinese data re the age and gender of the deceased.
But whatever their stats are they are unlikely to differ in a material way to what's coming out of Europe where in Germany the youngest deceased is 67, eldest 94, the majority of whom had chronic conditions (cancer, lung disease).
In Italy, the average age of those who have died is 81 years... 90% being over 70, 10% 90+.
80% of the deceased had suffered from two or more chronic diseases. 50% of the deceased had suffered from three or more chronic diseases. The chronic diseases include in particular cardiovascular problems, diabetes, respiratory problems and cancer.
Less than 1% of the deceased were healthy persons, i.e. persons without pre-existing chronic diseases. Only about 30% of the deceased are women.
The Italy info came from this report: https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronav...9_13_marzo.pdf
It appears the US, UK, EU and others are prepared to close down large sectors of their economies for an indefinite period, place restrictions on their citizens' liberties and create an infinite amount of new debt to combat a problem that almost exclusively kills the weakest and eldest who are already on their last legs.
Would you rather let them die because they're "only the old, weak and vulnerable?" Because that's what it sounds like. I'd love a straight answer please because you've revealed quite a lot about your character since this all started happening and none of it's positive
He's more interested in his original point he posted on ccmb being right than the wellbeing of anyone.
Every hole anyone has pointed in his logic has been ignored and he just stops posting until he can post anything that he can use to back him up even if there are loads of holes in his logic.
The governments of the world are in a no win situation, do nothing and a lot of people will die, isolate everyone and lower the deaths signifcantly and people will say "look no one died what a waste".
China solved the problem (perhaps temporarily) in what, 50 days? I checked the numbers before posting. Pro rata wise Britain's 144 fatalities is almost up to China's total and measures here remain half-arsed.
10,000 global deaths in 3 months seems a lot to me, especially as outside of a handful of countries most countries haven't reached peak infrections yet. The fact China are now reporting no infections seems like social distancing for a few months really works.
