Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

The should be able to get the £10k grant and the staff furloughed. If they can retain the premises the supply chain will come back as indeed will their staff. The council should be phoning them to give a code to access the grant. If the council don’t get in touch they should write to them or give them a call. They will need support, perhaps financially but certainly from family who need to help them keep their spirits up. Banks will help if they can get through. This will not go on forever and business will return and when it does it will be higher than before for a couple of weeks as people regain their freedom. Whatever happens please don’t let them throw their hard work away....

The business went before the furlough scheme was announced but they are looking into it I believe. Obviously it's created a lot of stress. They had three staff members - part time - so they are wanting to get them back if possible.

I know it's just an example and obviously it's one close to home for me. I'll pass on the advice.

Just think treating the long-term impacts of this flippantly is as dangerous as treating the short-term advice flippantly too. I'll leave it at that as I'm not looking to pick a fight with anyone!

Wheeling some auld sponger out to patronise the peasants on tv adds nothing helpful to the situation.

It's ludicrous and laughable but if all you've ever known is the UK it's vital. And wherever you are morale is important right now.

Easy to blame the government, but they couldn't have been clearer with their requests to stay at home, and yet...

Just heard a load of people in my local village have it after going to Cheltenham. Wonder how many lives that will cost in the end.
I Imagine the average age of the population here is 50+ local garage is still open at full capacity and the local coop has only just started getting people to queue on entry. Was a free for all before that with no care paid towards the rules. Typical Tory town. Think they’re a law unto themselves.

I think rural areas thought this would just be a city problem. There will be random pockets of the population hit hard out in towns and villages

I'm pleased to say that the park near us has been as good as gold the few times I've been in it. People getting a bit of exercise, plenty of social distancing, and no bellends sunbathing, having picnics or getting the bbq out.
