Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I suspect you'll be surprised and take up will be far better than 10%.

I certainly hope so anyway, because if it is that low then you'll have government wringing their hands while saying "We pulled out all the stops for Liverpool on testing and they weren't interested" and it'd be hugely disappointing for Anderson and Rotherham as well.

Think it was Slovakia where it was enforced and non compliance meant two week home isolation. Sounds like the best way, and i would happily take 2 weeks of isolating. Sounds like bliss, to be honest.

Hot or Cold, Weather Alone Has No Significant Effect on COVID-19 Spread

Im self employed and the payment i pay in January is for this year's tax estimated on last years tax plus or minus any difference then pay again in july.
To cheat system you need access to cash in hand payments and if they have that they've probably not had much of a tax bill over the last few years anyway so wouldn't be able to claim much anyway.
Im sure hmrc will check when 20-21 tax returns go in to see if earnings are down ,which is one of the things you need to declare when claiming.

I don't think your income needs to be down. The wording just says that it needs to be lower than you expected it to be.

Just don't understand anti-lockdown protests.

By breaking lockdown to protest you're only going to get a more enforced lockdown.

Reckon a lot of them are wasted sperm.

Just seen that there was queues at the test centre and the two people the echo interviewed were 86 and 71. Surely they shouldn't leave the house?

They should have rammed their car into the test centre and started to clothes line the staff.

If you are 86 you shouldn't be going to test centres if you feel alright. If you're 86 and you get the virus you'll be in a pretty bad way. Probably more chance of catching the virus in the busy queues.

That's healthcare in the UK though isn't it? You revolve around it, it doesn't revolve around you.

Told me mam the same. Although I'd take her in the car, not worth the risk seeing as she is sheltering.

You can request home testing kits.
