Who looks after the kids if the parents are self isolating?

Playing Devils Advocate, isn’t Capitalism all about survival of the fittest? The people I feel sorry for are the small businesses. Many of them will go to the wall and there will be no hand outs from the Government to save them.

No worries, my loo rolls are all safely locked away.

So Richard Branson wants the Government to bail Virgin Airlines out to the tune of £7.5billion. Remind me again Richard, do you pay any taxes in the UK?

We have a large ranges of ages in our village fortunately and have just set up a WhatsApp group to keep in touch with anyone who needs help. Great too see so many local youngsters offering to help us oldies. Hopefully my fellow oldies on here will get plenty of help from neighbours too.

Not much different Whelk. Unless I get it and then, as an old git, I shall be left to croak, so very quiet thereafter.

Whatever advice is given, I am not sure that The Great British Public will listen to it. Despite being told that there is no need to stockpile there were still no loo rolls, dried pasta, painkillers etc. around in local supermarkets today.

A neighbour of mine is in his 70’s but one of the most active people in the village. He is always walking his dog on in his garage making things. He is in the local most days too. It would drive him crazy being inside the house for weeks.

Are you? You seem to know an awful lot about mortality projections for a cook.

Johnson’s responses to the virus could end up costing thousands more lives, and still the usual suspects on here would be defending him.

Apparently Trump is offering. German pharma company “a great deal of money” for access to their work on a vaccine, but for the US only. Don’t you just love nationalism?

How many would that be exactly? How come the advice they are giving is at odds with many other professionals and the rest of Europe? How many of these people advising the Government get to make the final decisions of had Johnson given them to crack in and just keep him in the picture every now and again?

More so than a bunch of people whose only discernible talent is for getting themselves elected to Parliament?

In matters relating to serious epidemics - as opposed to people who spend their time supporting Tory policies on the Internet no matter that they may cost many lives.

Then we have read different polls. It would also appear that 229 professional experts disagree with our Governments current handling of the situation too.

Other countries have taken more serious actions earlier to try an deal with it. Why haven’t we?

It’s nice that you apparently have confidence in our leader. It would seem that the majority of the country don’t agree with you.

In a recent poll only 36% trust in what Johnson says and is doing about the situation. This is not about playing politics. This is about competency.

Johnson, like Trump, spits out glib throwaway lines when dealing with major issues in the hope that people will think they have things under control. They clearly don’t.

He managed to slip in “Let’s get Bewdley” done when visiting flooded areas.

As tough as it is for the likes of Liverpool, Leeds and WBA, I really don’t see how how anything can be based on an incomplete season. If you don’t cancel the season there is no fair way to sort out promotions or relegations. The League Cup should stand as the competition ran to completion.

Has Johnson said “Let’s get Covid-19 done” yet?

I can’t see most of the Premier League clubs being happy with 5 going down in one season. Perhaps two lots of four. Tough on clubs like Fulham. What happens with promotions in lower leagues?

London, Leicester and Birmingham and all victims apparently in the “at risk” group.
