    So if you have a cough you need to self isolate for 14 days how will people pay their bills on £94 SSP

    If you live alone it remains 7 days, if you live with others it is 14. Re SSP sorry I can't answer that but it sounds like a **** position to potentially be in.

    If you or anyone else in your household has a cough, not just you.

    I don't envy the position that millions will be in with SSP - but there's no other option. Isolation is the only way to stop this killing hundreds of thousands.

    And yet Boris still won’t commit !!
    He should be telling people to close pubs not asking people to not go . That’s ridiculous he’s depending on everybody taking his advice so the rest of us have got to depend on everybody’s goodwill yeah right so that means we gonna catch this fekin thing because fekin Boris and his cronies don’t know what the fek to do !!
    He keeps saying it’s Scientifically led yet we’re the only fekin country that’s not taking notice.

    I was planning one last visit to my local tonight, that is not going to happen. I imagine bottled ale will be the next thing to disappear from the supermarket shelves like **** off a shovel.

    Youd be better off getting carry outs from your local if its still there - if you want a pub to go back to when this is all over somehow they need cash

    Telling us to avoid certain places whilst not forcing them to shut so they can't get an insurance payout is a scummy thing to do.

    Hundreds of thousands won't get it never mind die from it (in the (UK). Do the maths.

    The government have admitted that up to 80% of the population could contract the virus.


    The virus has an estimated mortality rate of between 1% and 3.4%., at 80% infection rate, that’s anywhere from 500,000 to 1.8 million people dead.
    Even if you only infect the young, the mortality rate at that age group is 0.2% - 18-39 year olds make up 30% of the UK population. That’s 31,767 people dead.

    Do the maths.

    Millions won’t get it!
    That’s hardly the salient point is it.

    the story is that people will lose jobs, people will get sick, and plenty will die.

    there’s always the option to look on the bright side, but I’d be a dick if I was only concerned that I’ve got a decent secure job and I’m in decent health.
