Coronavirus.

Zoomup
We have been advised not to go to pubs and restaurants, cinemas and other public places, to protect ourselves and others from the Coronavirus. Are we still able to work? Can we still obtain stock? Will we continue to visit workplaces like offices, shops or homes? Will we be provided  with fiscal support if we can not trade, especially if we are self employed?


University College London is predicting up to 250,000 potential fatalities from Coronavirus in the U.K.


How does the pandemic affect you?


Whaddaufink?

    Locally near the sea in North Norfolk, the restrictions and fears of many people are causing a loss of business income now and likely through the summer season as well. This area relies a lot on holiday visitors. I am being told of cancellations for holiday lets for park chalets and hotel accommodation. B&Bs will really suffer, as will pubs, restaurants and other public facilities. The holiday season has just begun here, but attendance is lower than last year. The holiday season is only about 6 months and is very weather dependant. There will be job losses. Who wants to employ waiters if there are no diners?


    A relative in the Bournemouth area has lost her job at a travel agents and a second job at a pub. She is now without any income and has to pay rent.


    The stock market may take up to two years to recover. People have lost a fortune in savings and investments.


    This situation is very serious and will be devastating  for millions of people.


    This country will borrow to help support those struggling to stay afloat. The U.K. will be in serious debt for decades.


    We may not recover financially. We are looking at individual and national bankruptcy.


    We may experience a situation like the 1920/30s New York stock market crash. Then people lived in cardboard boxes in Central Park and were starving.
