So there will be a lot of economic pain. That's a given. I don't understand stories like this one www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52070151A high street generic Italian style restaurant chain goes belly up and claims they should get state help?? What? Surely if your business is that bad that it will fold within a couple of weeks of an economic earthquake it would be better to just let it fold. Nobody actually needs to eat or drink at "Carluccios" Is this some sort of scam or what? I would much rather see state help going to small independent companies rather than chains. The chains are so depressing. If they could all fall over like dominoes and get replaced by independent business then I'm sure it would be a better place.

I would agree ..... it was already close to collapse before Covid 19.
I can see a business that is in good health before the epidemic being deserving of assistance but not a lame duck

Personally, I think there's a massive economic crash just around the corner, the greatest any of us will have ever seen and the whole Coronavirus thing is a manufactured panic designed to drive the sheeple into a state of fear, and create the belief that this crash is the price which must be paid for salvation from the killer virus, thereby conveniently explaining why it happened on the current administrations' watch.

I also read this afternoon that Boris would pretend to be dead just to get out of claims of his mismanagement of the whole crisis. I bet he doesn't have coronavirus at all. I predicted on here that Johnson would be declared as having the virus the other day. Trouble is at the time I thought that this sort of thing might be controversial so I deleted it. It was the obvious strategy after Charles. Get the people to listen, fuck the economy a bit more and take the money. Fact is that the only people who will survive the real zombie apocalypse are those who have enough money to get rockets to leave earth in 2037. This is what I learned from the MI6 admin e-conference earlier on anyway. We've been chatting up the aliens for years. Trouble is that escaping the earth's (bad) atmosphere carrying enough pasta and toilet rolls is very very expen$ive. Talking billions not millions. It will only be a select few who get to go.

But not necessarily all for the worse.

I have been amazed that our economy, and the worlds in general, has coped so well with the current disruption. Thankfully the world has pulled together, the people have pulled together and I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Keep faith all, we will (mostly) survive to boat another day.

Which is better than the end where you went in !! Indeed. The sun is shining, just a couple of bridges and then turn left. A little way through the trees and the lock will appear. Up you go and the pubs just down at the end.. 🥂 cheers 🍻

No, nobody needs to eat at some faux-Italian cafe. But plenty like to. And I bet that the majority of restaurants and coffee-shops are at best a month away from bankruptcy at any given time. At the end of the day it represents 2000 fewer job-seekers. And quit with the looney-tunes conspiracy theories.
