Look it’s a start, and some have lost their jobs, I’m sad, no one should have.

But now people are being supported, and business salvaged, this can only be a good thing.

So, where do I go for a beer now?

Go to the supermarket mate and get some beers. Pubs have been closed in many countries for a while now, UK late to the party as usual.

It's not going to be fine. Even the most optimistic of the forecasts from Imperial had the demand for ICU beds vastly surpassing the supply of them. Are we honestly expecting things to be hunky dory? Are we going to piss ourselves everytime a bad thing happens over the next six months?

Who’s pissing themselves? I linked to an article which highlighted a large hospital running out of ICU beds. Unlikely to be the last. Then you started bitching about the word ‘major’.

All still open by me, bar one poncey cocktail bar.

The day time crew are keeping them going.

It`d take more this to stop them.

Use back door the landlord said,sorted.

I've been in isolation for two weeks already. I was looking forward to going to a pub and having a quiet pint whilst reading a good book.

This is what’s been puzzling me about italy. They’ve been on lockdown and not going out for what, a week now? The shops are empty, only one at a time being admitted. But the death toll keeps on rising, so there must be another reason. Is it that older family members are often living at home with the family? They don’t stick their old folk in homes like we do. And we don’t seem to ever hear what the ages of the dead are as a percentage. e.g. are they overwhelmingly over 80 say, or 90?

That’s one part of the puzzle. Italians tend to live together in large family groups

I wouldn’t trust her to organise a party for a new born let alone the economy.

100% this.

The pub is the family home for a lot of the day time boys.

It's not ideal but I liked most of what government have said there.

I like Rishi Sunak tbh
