oooo, any details, please? Where did you apply, and was there any qualifying criteria?

I applied to my local council authority. The page went live this morning. I needed my business rates reference, vat reference, bank details and supporting document (a photo of my latest statement in this case) and had to 'sign' a few disclaimers. All pretty straight forward and if successful we should have the money in a week.

yeah, as i thought.  

Bit of a paradox that one, as qualifying businesses are not now paying the very thing which excludes me.  

Gonna have to furlough myself.

Well we know this, but we also know it’s mild to symptomless in as much as 86% of people. His experience isn’t THE experience of Coronavirus and visa versa.

My wife is waiting to find out, her work have said they will make up the difference between the governments cap and 80% of her wages. Not all big companies are arseholes.

This “oh look at us we’ve sorted the virus out” bullshit propaganda is proving to be just that.

China is now walking headfirst into a second outbreak because they want to be seen as the first country to “overcome” the virus.

Case numbers are still falling though, there will obviously be a lag between the two.

This is surely going to be the case in every country? This is the worst part - they will easy social distancing rules and within a week we'll be back where we are now as it'll spread again.

I don't pretend to understand how this all works though so happy for someone to tell me (please!) why this isn't the case.
