I reckon the government have a 4 weeks window to get on top of this (prepare the NHS) and then its going to start getting even more ugly. The reality is there is just too many holes in whats been announced (support) and in the end the cure is going to hurt more than the virus.Comment

Businesses are going to fold at a great rate as no money or grants seem to be readily available/accesable.
If it is available then it's going to take weeks to come through.
Wages have to be paid first then claimed, with no forthcoming business in sight it's easier to let people go.
The self employed, non Ltd, are looking till the end of June before they get any money as well, not easy, lots will go bust.
I thought the idea was to save the economy, everything the current Government has done seems hellbent on destroying it.

Now there's a 4000 bed super hospital in the ExCel. Why don't they let the Londoners loose (but can't leave the city) and build up some herd immunity?
Oh no.. I forgot there's no ventilators.
No ventilators
No PPE
No test kitsComment
