Ok ok 137 billion notes, 30 million workers,  so that's only 4400 each,  but ill take that!

These negotiations are not going as well as I expected. ☹☹☹

A lot of elderley work these days, but quite a significant number of people are just scrounging lazy bastards, some of whom have never worked a day in their lives.

 Panic buying loo roll is probably the most work they've done in ages😆

This week, I can honestly say I've bought more toilet rolls than I've had hot dinners.

[Chillidoggy]

So it's you, is it?

FFS.

[Sparky]

Muhahaha

Sparky in his kitchen

On a more sober note, I have been reading a few articles that describe Covid 19 and those who get a serious infection are likely to get Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). 40% of people who get this are likely to die. Those who don't die could take up to 15 years to recover from it. It has been described as drowning in your own blood. Not nice.

It is a serious situation but still remaining chipper.

Qantas here in Australia are talking about having to lay off staff as not able to keep paying everyone.

Meanwhile the CEO who is making the announcements gets his $24m per year still.

Imagine the morale increase if he decided to use some of his 'income' to pay his staff and put no-one off?

[Bibs]

No, he's just been told that he's cooking. He's only bought 1 toilet roll!

[scotty435]

 

[MadMick]

Ooooh! That's new. Did not know that you could cook them!

What's the recipe please?  😆

[Sparky]

I make a wicked Bog Bol.

Seven is the max really for a week's hot dinners,  so I'm sure you're not the only one. 😁

Not really.

The Queen has definitely gone to Windsor and the closing of many establishments as I suggested has now happened. Not quite reached the levels of France / Spain / Italy but if we don't behave that will happen next.

Yes, I'm sure it will. Should be some good availability right now too and maybe a few bob in discounts... Every little helps...

Well there's a 40% chance you'll never cause another road traffic accident again👍

Also just like there will be reduced fatalities due to improving air quality,  there must already be a substantial reduction in road fatalities

The queen always goes to Windsor at this time of the year. We all know that eventually we will be in lock down but your post said it was imminent which it wasn't so fake news and unnecessary scaremongering

[Giniw]

With an exponential increase, the sooner the lock-down the better. I honestly don't understand why the governments delay it. Of course it's not that good for the economy, but waiting will make only make it worse unfortunately ... (unless a cure is discovered soon obviously)

[PaulCP]

FFS, do McDonnell & Corbyn never give up on their relentless criticism of everything a Tory Govt does?

Sky news
“Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell  criticised the new job retention scheme, saying it needed to "go a lot farther and a lot faster."
He said the government "has shifted under the pressure we [Labour] put on him" but raised concerns that the plans to pay 80% of workers' wages where needed represented "quite a significant wage cut" and warned of "weeks" of delays.”

And this is the type of MP Labour have now!

JM is a massive twat. It’s more than he was calling for and the government are doing their best.
