Coronavirus.

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?

    There is one thing Britain has been over the last few hundred years during a catastrophe and that is masters of playing the long game with some cold calculation, you have to gamble with the present to protect the future hence the decision to allow millions to be infected and live with a few thousand casualties, the decision not to stop travel, close pubs, restaurants, schools and public spaces shows the goverment resolve that it is not willing to trash the economy and cause massive bankruptcies, whilst in the near future some of the world economies will inevitably fall apart we need to recover quickly so it is a gamble worth taking. Some people are referring to Churchill but he was a master of cold calculation, one of the instances was he refused to invest in Civil Defence to protect the people against the Nazi bombs and diverted the money to building more ships, planes etc; willing to sacrifice the few for a brighter future rid of the Nazi scourge.
