Thread | Economic Fallout of all this
at 07:45 13 May 2020
Whilst many people are enjoying being at home, on 80% (from the Govt) and probably expect this to continue as they push back against returning to work
the economic fallout of this is starting to materialise.
5% drop in GDP in 1st quarter (up to Mar 20). That is the biggest drop since Oct 2008.
Look at the state of everything there after.
all sorts of economic commentators are saying that 5% is a drop in the ocean compared to what is expected in the next quarter. Essentially, 20% drop in GDP will be viewed as a Massive result!!!
Ultimately, we will all have to pay for this! |

I have been tested (key worker).
Felt like death last week, phoned up, tested that afternoon and received the results around 48 hours(ish) later.
I will add, there was so many testing slots available at the test site I went to and all others near me. When asking the lady who conducted my test, she was extremely puzzled as given the demand for tests by the media, the capacity is simply not being used in our area anyway. Not even close apparently. |

2 weeks ago, Sturgeon (and co) were demanded to know an idea of exit from lockdown.
now they have one, it is all too soon and too confusing!!!
like anyone believes them
Look at this headline doing the rounds at the moment - Nicola Sturgeon defends 'appropriate' decision not to tell Scots about Covid-19 outbreak in Edinburgh
How on earth is she getting away with that (the outbreak was in Feb), given the level of scrutiny at play? [Post edited 12 May 2020 20:44]

Not too long ago, Sadoldgit embarrassed himself by damning Ched Evans and those who questioned his conviction as 'rape apologists'.
That continued, despite Ched being cleared - no smoke without fire apparently
of course, Sadoldgit completely changed tac with regards to a convicted (and still convicted) wife beater, Geoffrey Boycott. Sadoldgit champions his innocence.
Sadoldgit is a very unstable individual, who is very much on the wrong side of most big-ticket arguments. |
