    No idea but there's loads of these been created, the army called in to kit them out when all we really needed was a few more face masks, gloves and aprons. And a bit of testing might have been good.

    Not like the government to over react !

    as you say , testing would have be a better strategy and defo not a mass stop on all business.

    A lot of it was made up on the spot ...

    10 weeks ago it was a different world, we were all worried to **** that we were going to die and the supermarkets had empty shelves where the basic provisions were meant to be. Dunno if I was more worried about catching the virus or starving to death.

    My mate who is an office drone in Moorgate has just been told he can work from home until the end of the year (while they try and sell the building, probably).

    Your employer obviously thinks you’re either expendable, or a doss tramp for whom “working from home” means sitting about in his Y fronts all day watching Homes Under The Hammer.

    Now you can perv at the slightly overweight bird in accounts with the VPL showing through her too tight skirt.

    It would drive me ****ing nuts working from home, but some people seem to like it.

    Must be a lot of firms looking at the cost of renting office space etc, and wondering how many of their staff really need to be at their desks every day.

    We had a management meeting on Teams yesterday and the bigwigs said that the Coronavirus has demonstrated that we are all capable of agile working and we may not all need to return to office based duties. This is shorthand for "we are now going to close offices to save money" with the subtext of "we don't need half of you as much as we though, goodbye!"

    Bound to happen, the economy has taken a beating with hardly any sector unaffected. The next Budget will be interesting, I doubt the Chancellor will be able to raise enough by sticking 2p on a pint.

    I’ve been working from home since Norway went into lockdown (my head office is Oslo)

    I usually sit as a guest desk in the UK operation which just now is at 33% capacity for ops staff .

    Now Norwegian high heid yin is saying I should be back in office but UK director is saying no as I’m not ops or support staff ...I’m a guest .

    looks like I’ll be back in office probably July if UK director caves!

    would rather work from home , I don’t like other people in general ! I get loads done at home and I can work remotely via teams .

    Oslo comes in at number 44 on my list of 100 greatest cities. It is sandwiched between Ghent and Naples.

    Brilliant!

    Well in the young 'uns.

    Seen Sturgeon threatening to turn the regulations into law to stop people flouting the obviously bullshiting lockdown.

    I've been to 4 supermarkets and Costco pretty regularly during lockdown and they've been busier than normal despite queues to get it in.

    I've seen pretty much the same staff nearly every other day, no masks, no gloves, not socially distancing from other staff, I mean WTF people!!

    If the deadly virus was so deadly then surely supermarket staff would be dropping like flies all over the country!

    Mass panic, whipped up by the PC media has basically shut down Western society via lockdown with nearly zero evidence that it has worked.

    Sweden, no lockdown and less deaths per million than many of the countries with the severest lockdowns.
    Japan, no lockdown, three cities bigger than Londonistan and the oldest population in the world, ran by a right wing, ultra capitalist Govt and and less than 1000 deaths.

    The virus kills old folk with with underlying health issues, why have we failed to protect these ****s. Don't say "hindsight is wonderful", everycunt knew this for the onset.

    We're all going to pay for this. Taxes are going to go through the roof.
