Does that make Boris the Messiah? Or is he still just a very naughty boy?

I think once you get over the initial shock, working is pretty soon normalized. Customers are very welcoming and as long guidelines are maintained it Saul Goodman.

We’d have survived not working and furloughing but it would have been very tight but wouldn’t have been able to pay May’s salaries even if we were back mid May.

The Government has to review the lockdown every three weeks.  We've just past our first review and the next one will be in three weeks; I suspect at that point the daily deaths and new cases will have calmed down massively.

And the gov should have progressed with mass testing, which we need - I think - for the UK to be 'unlocked'.

Laura K said a source in the Treasury said the government cannot afford to keep on paying the 80% for much beyond three months.  So we will be unlocked; economics will force that to happen.

And it'll take a while for the economy to get moving again (though there will be a 'burst' to begin with).

Stuff like social distancing, handwashing, no large gatherings (or even no gatherings at all), shielding the high risk, will still be part of the routine.

With no vaccine in sight for 12 to 18 months this is something we're all going to have to get used to living with.

Thats about the size of it.

In 3 weeks they'll start with some of the less risky relaxations. Coffee shops, D.I.Y. stores, garden centres. Some places of work will begin to meander back. At some point centres of education and childcare will have to be addressed. I reckon childcare will be first possibly with schools going back for the last 6 weeks prior to the summer holidays.

Three weeks is optimistic, imo.

Optimism is all there is left.

I'm not saying it won't happen.
It'll be a risk and will the government take that risk? Will mass testing and PPE be ready in three week from yesterday?
If they do unlock the country in three weeks, I think it'll kick off again.
A lot can happen in three weeks though .

in answer to the op, you CLEARLY have not met the wife. 23 hrs a day locked inside with her, you must be joking

Not trying to start any arguments. What is the reason you’re working? Is it because money is tight, bored, you need routine, fear of losing your customers,  fear of not getting the 80%, you haven’t declared much profit?

Surely if someone offered you 80% of your net profit to stay at home and chill you’d do it, right?

no help as earnt over 50k so no option but to work or spend savings.or tax money saved
