Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?

A mate of mine has had a letter asking for volunteers to take 8 weeks unpaid leave. The letter warns of potential job losses as well as reduced hours for other staff.

There is going to be a number of companies that will abuse this to cut their workforce.

BiL is a firefighter at the airport and HR have told him is job ar risk. Stupidly short sighted as if they get rid of all the trained fire fighters what will they do in a few weeks when it's all blown over and they need fire fighters at the airport again.

Also as regular crews have members phone in sick they will need the extra capacity but as he is employed by the airport directly they dont seem to get his skills will be needed elsewhere by local authority fire crews

Fairly certain we will all be confined to the house
Soon. Army being mobilised according to a visitor this morning.

Apparently @ 10,000 troops are preparing for mobilization in order to assist during the "breakdown of society"

Doesn't say whose side of the breakdown they'll be, unfortunately.

It's amazing how many people know someone in the army

There's a video doing the rounds of army vehicles being transported on the Motorway. Like that's never happened before.

Me doth sense a dose of skepticism, perhaps???

I'm watching Trump on TV at the minute. Have to say, he seems to approaching things...at least in this briefing...a bit better than I would normally give him credit for.

my girlfriend has been called up as a Medic on TA duty so the Army rumour is probably true

The value of the pound is now horrible. My cost of living went up 10% overnight and if it sustains this rate then prices in the UK will shoot up.
