At this point it’s not even about getting sick. Does anybody realise how much of an economical crash we’re going to suffer if this goes any further? No imports or exports, no trade deals, people forced out of work. Getting sick is just a minor detail to the catastrophe this going to cause 🙃

The long term effects of this could be devastating. The BOE base rate has already been dropped, once people start claiming extra benefits for sick pay the country will be brought to its knees financially.

Exactly that! There’s already so much strain on the economy and benefit system. Small business are failing daily, huge retailers constantly going into liquidation. And thats on a daily basis, throw this in the mix with lock downs, banned flights, halted trade deals. Then what? It’s terrifying!

@jo.wilcox, of course I understand that, and I very much doubt that! So say if nursery shuts what would you do ? I’m genuinely curious of how this is all going to turn out and whatever way you look at it it looks ugly!

I mean what do you want me to say? If nursery is physically closed then obviously he can’t go to nursery? 😂 It’s all just getting ridiculous, the sooner it dies down the better

The world economy is already severely damaged with it. The only travel companies or any companies that will be able to function are the ones with a very heavy pocket already.

I couldn’t agree more. I own my own business and it would cause so much trouble to the point I would loose my business and everything. All my staff team would be struggling. How are we all gonna pay our bills. What’s gonna happened when we run out of food? Or toiletries?
The long term affect on people’s lives, finances and the economy is goi BF to be drastic.

My husbands company are already struggling & have asked all staff to take a pay cut. 1day less a week for the next 3months. And thats just now. If the situation gets worse so will the companies finances. So we're now on edge they'll start making people redudant soon.

1 day a week for any average family is a huge pay cut to take! Especially if you live wage to wage, like most of us. Not all of us are in a position to have ££££‘s saved for emergencies. I only work 4 days a week as it is, if I have to lose even one day that’s my wage a quarter short already! Hopefully they don’t cut it anymore than they have for you guys 🤞

We are probably going to go in lock down sometime in April as we are estimated 4 weeks behind Italy and as for shops the little corner shops will be open still if they choose to be it will be the big companies that shut for two weeks I think but don't quote me on that 😂🙈
