I suspect they're all down and miserable but I suspect they're not "all depressed".
That word is used far too easily to describe being unhappy.

Rishi Sunak unveils emergency jobs scheme
The Job Support Scheme will see the government top up the pay of people who can only work part-time in "viable jobs".

"It cant be done, Dave. There's no way the government can keep on paying out cash for wages. You're cracked".
That'll help reduce hours employees need to be in work, and although it stops short of furloughing and shutting down, it'll help.

It's about time. Starmer TUC and many others have made representation to Government for months, finally they have listened. Just a shame it took Johnson Sunak and Cummings to agree. Although these various lock down will not counter.
Kids for you, Dave.

not sure the new scheme will save many jobs. The employer will still have to fork out quite a lot

Yeah, I reckon, headlines for the pensioners, iiuc, businesses expected to pay 50odd pc of wages for 33pc of a worker.

Well this one pays a third, the old scheme paid up to 80%.
Quite a difference Dave tbf...
You said the current level of support was sustainable. It clearly wasn't.
You can keep trying to argue you've been proven right though, it's getting me through the working day lol
I think you're confusing one Dr's opinion with general scientific consensus.
He didn't say it was equivalent. He said it will help.

Seen a gal who wore three face masks on top of each other when entering supermarket 
sake.
sake.Well it's not really on me to think of it.
But, as it is we have to keep certain measures (i.e. masks) in place and these restrictions - to get us through winter.
However, we've had six months to come up with a useable track and trace system which would lay the foundations for us to move forward out of having lockdown as the only option.
And, partly, there does come a time where, yes, a virus that is going to be here for a while has to be lived with. You have to ensure that people in the most vulnerable groups are protected as much as possible so any vaccine that is developed should be provided to the people in those groups first.
People can have this and be seriously ill. People can have it and have a mild fever. People can have it and not be ill at all.
Didn't mean it like that.
it's an example of how the experts can't agree what the best solution is.
The only way to prove how much lockdown has worked is whenever we come out of the restrictions.
I know that's a while off but it's already a failing in my eyes that in the six months since the spread in Europe, other solutions have not been found, or one solution such as track and trace has been developed so poorly.

I see Rishi wants to freeze benefits and public sector pay and remove the triple lock on pensions to pay for the pandemic.
Tories doing what tories do.
