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?

    davezawadi:

    All rent payments for business and homes should be suspended.




    That's a difficult one and my initial thought was no. I don't quite know how the missing funds will be replaced by councils, but they ought to be able to manage. The same might apply to housing associations. As for private landlords, the rent might be their only income, but perhaps they ought to do without like everybody else. Whatever might happen, any application to be excused rent should be supported by firm evidence of loss of income.


    As for business rents, the landlords will have to think carefully. If a business goes under because it has to continue to meet its costs, the property will end up unoccupied.


    I received an e-mail circular from a well-known restaurateur today practically pleading with diners to visit. They will stay open for as long as they are permitted to do so because they want to continue to be able to pay their staff and do business with their suppliers. They have even moved their tables further apart. (Unfortunately, Mrs P won't risk going out.)


    Yes, it's dire for a lot of people, but this whole epidemic won't last forever!
