Yeah, but £100 a week / £400 a month stat sick pay won't pay the mortgage, council tax, utility bills ... my council tax and gas electric comes to £340 a month!
Now that is a very good point and the only answer for that and companies going bust is to do something about it - the obvious answer is to freeze things so people effected don't have to pay. Now how are they going to handle that. The sub £100 a week is the unemployed. I have no idea on what sick pay levels are and some people work for companies of various sizes and others are self employed. There have been muttering but where is the info - it's not here

Interesting comment about facemasks - wear one if you are infected, but a maybe. So obvious I bought several a few weeks ago for anyone that gets infected here. I can sterilise them in our combi oven if needed.
It's an interesting read anyway. 7 days and recovered - maybe it also seems to be the point where it can get serious. This page now only shows tested people ie have contacted 111 and been told to get tested. Seems that rumours about local docs being able to refer people are incorrect.

Best sources of news - BBC 6pm and Channel 4 at 7pm - often the best but do bear in mind that some of it will always be about providing good telly what ever is being watched. It's a pity people don't realise this when all of them are spouting about politics. They hope to make some one say the wrong thing and also repeat slurs from one party against another.
