Take a % off the assets held in UK and UK backed tax havens; it won’t be enough to pay it all off but there’s ample justification for doing it (given the support that is being provided to many of the businesses they own or invest in, and what economic collapse would have done to those assets). There’s somewhere north of $9 trillion held in havens worldwide after all.

Yea, wouldn't disagree, though they'll be practical issues with that which would need international agreement. A few weeks ago, that would have seemed ludicrous, but everything's changed now.

At this stage who knows what's true. I was told metal for 12hrs, plastic and cardboard 24hrs. Facts seem to be a quicksand currently.

There are no hard and fast rules, but the numbers you've given for plastic and cardboard will be about right. Metals are much higher though and could be up to a week.

The highest risk of getting is plainly by direct contact with someone's who's infected, but, if that person deposits the virus onto a surface, and fairly soon after, you touch the surface and ingest it, then you're at low to medium risk.

Got a new fridge coming in the next 2 hours to replace the broken one purchased in October only last year from AO a Fridgemaster where the dial buttons have disappeared on the temperature dial completely 2 weeks of broken promes from Fridgemaster - first the repair engineer was sick, so they put the date back a week rang them on the day he was to come out ....- another excuse the part had not come in - also they had let us know by telephone two days earlier lying barsterds .... so I told them AO who had been brilliant Ok they could have their crappy Fridge back - AO telephoned them and warned them and AO are doing just that today with a bigger Hoover Fridge costing me only an extra £20 honouring the fitting that I paid for in the first place - my first day of a vulnerable isolation person broken already thanks to Fridgemaster ..... Also the fridge is full of food plus my insulin - the inconvenience etc ...
proves those extendable Guarantees are a waste of money as Fridgemaster can not honour a 12 month guarantees under consumer law - they even tried to charge me for the part needed a thermostat as it was not electrical..urm worked as a Glasshouse expert for over 35 years I told them how a thermostat worked.....so sod off or words I could not print on here...
I have to point out AO took no crap off Fridgemaster either, and customer care from them as been top class in trying to get it repaired for us , and then arranging a quick delivery of any model -
I needed this with Coronavirus distancing rule for me coming in force today on my families mind like a hole in the head head - the fridge is working but at what temperature? My insulin is stored in there fgs...
So a new one is needed -thanks to Fridgemaster not honoring the law of trade..... i.e. a 12 month guarantee on electrical fridge working parts.....
rant over.....

What is Japan doing that is keeping this virus so benign to them?

Whatever it is, we should be doing that.

They are very hygienic in general and the PM closed the schools down instantly also they take it seriously and don't all pile in a pub because they can't survive without a pint for a little bit.
