Coronavirus

So I reckon the joint BA/VA announcements and the impact of Gatwick will cost around 50 k jobs in the crawley/Sussex area.

That’s more job losses than deaths.

You can always get a new job.

I have experienced healthcare in 4 countries, either directly or with a companion - UK, Spain, Germany and the US.

The UK is right at the bottom of that list.

Even with your all singing all dancing PMI

Even with your all singing all dancing PMI

That's of a comparable standard to that I've seen overseas.

Not if there aren't any jobs because the government closed the economy on the advice of an expert with a history of alarmist projections that don't match reality.

You can always get a new job.

At the moment?

No- you can’t - 16k certainly can’t atm.

I am one of the lucky ones.



You can always die of something else.

Just “following the science”, no doubt.

 

[P.D.]

I don't get why we don't put people into quarantine that fly in here, you could get a flight from NY to Heathrow then just saunter off and get the tube to anywhere you like.

Apparently the advice was and still is that the difference it makes is negligible.

Yep, not much can be done, the industry is on its utter knees

When anything is on its knees you fcuk it yeahhhhh.


Would love to see some imaginative ideas of what will get us out of this mess. If this is going to be a financial hit like the second world war we will need some imaginative ways to restart the economy.

America had the new deal, we could have the green deal. The conservatives love investing were big on it in the 80s. This time round they could start a new British renewable energy company with wave and wind turbines and open it up to just British taxpayers to invest in and reap the dividends.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Really hoping to see new ideas coming through.

Haha I love the point of view.

 

[Grays_1890]

The press and the public couldn't take it. When paired with a typically alarmist paper from Ferguson, they caved and went for this approach, which is certainly sub-optimal.

Is this the same bloke who flashed up on news for meeting his bit of skirt on the lockdown?

 

[AuroRaman]

The UK often ranks low in terms of healthcare against other rich countries when objective measures are used too.

That's simply not true.

Alongside that, the UK has consistently ranked higher than Germany in most areas, the system you keep citing.

And he looks like a nonce so he is making the most of it

we will just try to sell off more things I guess..

wave power was something I was briefly involved in about 11 years ago (along with voltage optimisation).
The tech is there but the issue is locations and ships not following rules
We looked at it for the sever estuary and a Dutch system that was being trialled near to Hook... would never work the way we let boats do their own thing too much

We could bring back Concorde?
