Thanks but I'm still having to work, we've just bought a £40K machine on finance and wondering about payments, hopefully the government will stop all loan payments if we go into lockdown.

I saw some footage of this on the news. In England and in California here in the states, public parks are packed with bored kids and frustrated parents. For some reason it doesn't seem to be as much in the rest of the country here for some reason. Not sure why.
This morning 5 states were shut down here. By end of day it nearly doubled to 8 states. As of today the DMV (department of motor vehicles) is closed here in Georgia. Of all the things to close? Folks are hoarding everything from toilet paper to guns. The entire thing is taking on a bit of a mad max vibe to be honest. I expect to see folks with guns guarding huge stashes of Toilet Paper and a black market being started for Charmin which is going to be more valuable than gold per ounce. The price gouging has already started online and ebay was the worst for a short time but now they forbid the sale of any corona related "supplies" on ebay as a matter of policy. I don't know if it will do much good. I never thought I'd see the day when black market toilet paper was a thing https://reason.com/2020/03/06/to-avoid-char...virus-supplies/ What's crazy, the schools are shut and when you drive passed local parks, there are huge gatherings of kids, why aren't the parents keeping them in?

My guess is worst case they'll hype the inflation which in return (in time) will make it even easier for payments, this was done by England after WW2 to re-build every building destroyed. Working is ok and continue if you can, but be super careful not to get sick. The cleaning I'm doing when I have to go buy stuff is simply insane these days but must be done. I feel much better today, the old black dog is nearly gone. I think you may need to read THIS again though as it was some bad typos on my tablet that I didn't spot -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Most disturbing is a big increase in patients in their 20s. They were the ones taking the least notice of guidelines. The other astounding thing is that some tourist areas in the UK had their highest footfall EVER recorded on Sunday, more than any public holiday. absolutely crazy. I had a fit of coughing in the night and it scared the pants off me, I think it was just a bit of fluff went don't my windpipe, I'm okay now. There is a lot of confusion here about work, even the government are contradicting themselves. All of my lads are worried about their jobs. There is a big difference between, "You can go to work if absolutely necessary AND you can't work from home", and "You can go to work if absolutely necessary OR can't work from home". Matt Hancock said "Those who can't work from home can go to work and should, to keep the country ticking over" and immediately said something about key workers which could and could not have been associated. In the lists of who is to close and who is to stay open, I haven't found anything about factories. we have been trying very hard, sanitizer everywhere, keeping distance, washing hands etc etc. When you make a product that is bespoke to each customer's needs then it is very very worrying, if that customer doesn't survive, they are of no use to anyone else unless someone buys his company and/or engine stock. Hard and worrying times for business owners. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
