Worried About Corona Virus- thread 33

New thread

Has anyone actually seen the PAYE scheme working yet? Are there some monumental catches as you'd expect? I'm hoping for a similar announcement for the SE today but wondering if money is actually going to be accessible.

Morning all, just marking my place!

See attached pic of tube stations this morning.
this is a nightmare, what is wrong with people

So many cars still driving past my house

Some boys out enjoying their motorbikes in the sun

If any of them had an accident I hope they realise the consequences of needing A&E or intensive care right now

It feels like it suits people to blame the workers not the bosses or government.

The company I work for (I’m not there right now as on start of maternity leave) Has instructed everyone to be in.
They are in construction.

I’m so disappointed in them.

Makes me reconsider whether I’d want to work for them when I am due to return from maternity leave

Thanks mrshoho

noword but why? Noone else can buy. I would fork out £££ and in worst case scenario on a house I couldn't possibly move into for 2 years. Best case probably a year.

The government told building sites to continue against the wishes of many in COBRA.

So many people out and about this morning. Maybe mr pointy brown shoes has an essential role but lots of neighbours who don't have gone out.

Just read that there isn't likely to be any provisions for the self employed for a few weeks. That means tubes will be rammed every day.

Construction industry going to work sends a message to everyone else working in housing to go to work

Simon Harris - 'London mayor Sadiq Khan suspends work on Crossrail amid a growing row between City Hall and Number 10 over construction workers.'

Simon Harris - - 'London mayor @SadiqKhan
at odds with the government over construction workers. Khan believes builders should be at home.'

Donald J. Trump - 'This is not about the ridiculous Green New Deal. It is about putting our great workers and companies BACK TO WORK!'

pmk. feeling really rubbish mentally today.

Mirror Breaking News -'Wales coronavirus death toll hits 17 - latest updates as UK on lockdown.'

LBC News - 'First aid charity St John Ambulance is 'ramping up' work to support the NHS during the Covid-19 outbreak with up to 500 extra staff a day.'

Tom Newton Dunn -'I hear today's No10 press conference is going to be the first to go virtual. Michael Gove will take it. Journalists will question him via a video app, probably Zoom.'

Very grim news coming out of Spain of a care home discovered with many residents deceased that was found abandoned when services arrived there. No words...

I am absolutely boggled by the number of posters who apparently "just caaaaaaaaaan't doooooooo it" with modifying any aspect of their behaviour whatsoever, yet "caaaaaaaan doooooooo" vast and energetic amounts of mental gymnastics to justify aforementioned "essential" special behaviour How the fuck do they think other people in other countries have managed for weeks?

Donald trump's approach is going to be scary I tihnk

@MurrayTheMonk Just wanted to say I'm really pleased things are looking up for you re: staffing. It sounded like a potentially really scary situation!

@bananacakeZ, then pull out. I'm not sure why you've decided you can't move house for a year, perhaps 2. There's nothing to indicate that. If you're serious and want the house, proceed as far as possible. If you're not going to bother, pull out, just don't leave the sellers in limbo.

Those tube photos are hideous. I would not be getting a tube right now. Grim.

Devastating. Spanish carers have just walked out and abandoned the elderly to die in nursing homes.

That is absolutely horrific
