Really doesn't matter to the average person. Putting food on the table, having a safe place to live, family health and the health of your friends and neighbours is what matters.
That is what the government is for. To ensure there is food in the shops and the wherewithal to buy it, or a supply system to make sure someone doesn't have to force open doors to find rooms full of flies or pets eating their owners bluntly put. (And yes, in one of my previous jobs I had to deal with that once, not nice).
Gamblers still trying to increase their wealth on stock markets are really bottom of the food table at the moment.
Actually best thing that could happen is to stop putting pointless stuff like this on the news. We aren't going to the US. We aren't going to Europe probably after this weekend so kind of doesn't really matter what the pound is worth except to people trying to earn money gambling on the rise and fall of currency values.
And their efforts would be better turned to using their super computers to try and work out how to create a workable antidote to the virus. Because that's what we apparently really need.Last edited by Lost It; 19 March 2020, 09:44.Comment
