Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Strange, been outside all day and only heard a couple of bikes. It's so quiet at the moment.

Fwiw when I was driving along the motorway to go to work this morning, I was literally the only vehicle for around 15 miles & virtually nothing coming the other way as well.

I was shocked to hear he's in his 50s. I thought he was older than that.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
the usual combinations of identifiers when guessing someone's age.
Work have started to ask for people to go on furlough.
The top staff/partners/board members have all taken a 20% pay cut for 3 months.

I feel for anybody under work stress as well as all the health related crap thats going on,stay positive everyone
I cant see my company hanging on much more longer than 6 months to be honest without drastic action
I hope Boris recovers quickly

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
The hardest part will be once furloughed is stopped by the Govt.
Most companies will have no work at all for a while unless they take people off furlough gradually rather than all at once.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Rent is the biggest issue. Most pubs, clubs, restaurants etc don't own the properties they're in. They are closed but still owe rent.
