Well you would, wouldnt you?

I will check mine when I can be arsed, which tells you we dont "need" it, but I said earlier, even though I am unable to work atm, and are ok cash wise, might not be in 6 months time.

So I will take the cash, stash it away, and once some sort of normal resumes, both personally and UK wise, will decide what to do with it. My (current) charitable attitude will be to keep what the tax will be, and lob the rest at a returning small shop or buy a load of stuff for the binmen.

Absolutely the right thing to do mate!

I've looked into the bounce-back loan scheme and think I'd be eligible. But having just finished paying one loan off, don't really want to another one unless it becomes absolutely vital. Good thing is it's only a 72-hour turnaround from application to having the money so if I did need it then it could be sorted quickly. Hopefully won't have to.

I spent one night there as one of my old school mates family caravan there.

It was like the Gaza Strip on acid.

I heard it was that bad, that the Welsh police recorded all the crime in there as a separate area, as if they hadn’t the local area would’ve had one the highest crime rates in the country lol

Thats the thing these days isnt it? Its so weird and unpredictable that we can all clap the NHS and socially distance etc etc, but every single family also has to think of the situation through their own eyes. If some cash is available, you take it, for now.

If they keep the R rate at anything below 1.5 then it's not a 'wave'

That's not right.

Take an R of 1.4, if you just let it run, and you started with 1000 infected people, after just 10 lots of transmission ( so probably roughly 10 weeks ? ), you'd end up infecting nearly 30,000 people in the last round and more than 50,000 in total. Start with 10,000 people and 10 rounds of transmission at 1.4 would give nearly 300,000 infected in the last round and more than half a million in total. Half a million infections could easily end up with 20 to 30 thousand deaths.

Realistically, as soon as R was, consistently over a few days, above 1.1, you'd need to think about tightening restrictions, more so if you're starting from a relatively high number of active infections because you wouldn't have adequate resources to track and trace

You should. You’ve probably already paid for it in tax, and if you haven’t you very definitely will in the next few years.....
