The wife has been told today that she will be paid for two months if school closes and then that's it, as there is no more money..

Life as we have known it is well and truly finished I reckon.

But he's not told the pubs to close.

Which means that the pubs are empty but they can't claim for lost earnings

Yeah I’m kinda wishing I was back on income protection laid up at home. Doesn’t seem so bad in hindsight (facepalm)

It has just been made illegal from tomorrow lunch time to be out of my house unless I am going for food or essential reasons. 15 days to start with.

Feck.

Link won't open for me.?

Just caught an ITN news item in Italy, where they were reporting that almost none of those they have been treating on ventilators have survived. 3 weeks of constantly loosing all their patients was obviously having a demoralising effect on the nursing staff. :S

Basically dont take ibuprofen or other NSAID drugs if you suspect you have CV19.

Not sure how true but this is what the french authorities are saying.

They ended up donating that sanitizer though, so a decent end result.
