Portside I think you should go out socially. Forget the 2metre rule, and as you’ve said before you’re a physically fit man with the immunity of a bull.

Everyone else, let’s sit back and hope.

Ministers 'see no prospect' of taking decision to ease lockdown 'for weeks to come' while daily death toll is soaring towards 1,000 and Boris Johnson remains in hospital - despite potential harm to economy

Buywell and John, appears from continued market pumping that we’re the only ones highlighting facts.
I just can’t understand the market confidence and daily manipulation advising we are at the peak. The numbers aren’t being advised accurately in respect of data given to public. They mentioned a 4% increase in ICU numbers but failed to advise how many new admitted in the last 24hours, how many died and how many improved to exit. By my calculations there were 1k plus new admittance to ICU yesterday. Massive daily increases. We’re many, many weeks away from a peak and this peak will almost be a flatline for over a week.
Why would you even consider changing strategy until number of deaths are in the tens. At that point you’re looking at August.

We are going to be in lockdown until September... Mortgage payment holidays are available and money that could be spent on holidays can go towards mortgages. Would rather see a few repossessions for people who have overextended themselves without saving than our older and vulnerable people dying on mass

Britain braces for WEEKS more lockdown:

Covid 19 the big problem


Everybody or most everybody , believed this was a flu type disease when it kicked off.

Nothing much to worry about, carry on as normal. So they did, and now the world is going to pay the price.

buywell has posted before that it will take a massive cash injection to hold things together = to existing Global GDP

This year countries like the USA could IMO see unemployment going over 20%

GDP dropping by the same amount 20%

But the problem is will this Covid-19 which is leaving many people with damaged lungs,hearts,Kidneys,brains as organs which get ravaged by those who end up in the in a Intensive Care Unit (ICU) , around 20% of Covid-19 cases will do IF beds are available .

IMO all countries are not prepared for this pandemic , the USA and the UK halved hospital bed numbers in the last 20 odd years. Now they need to at least DOUBLE the number of ICU's and some countries need to triple that number.

Many countries in Africa and Asia have hardly any ICU's at all. They are in a dire situation.


Japan has just gone into lockdown, it has like many countries , an underclass.


People that live on the street with nowhere to go, homeless.

Plus there are millions of refugees scattered around the world living in camps , temporary shelters.

Probably 20% of those that had jobs are going to lose them this year.

Many will go under and join the underclass.

The underclass also includes those with mental issues and drug addicts, alcoholics , burn outs, people that have plain given up.

These people are the most likely to catch Covid-19 and many will die without even knowing what killed them.

Many will spread the disease as they just don't care any more , capitalism will now pay a price for driving and then leaving such a large percentage of people into such dire circumstances.

Covid-19 IMO is going to cost over $85 Trillion dollars to fix if it can be done in the next 12 months ----- more if it can't.
