Johnwise - you seem to have followed the daft government premise that an outbreak lasting a year, and killing potentially a million British people, is better than one lasting 2-3 months, as in China and South Korea; simply because Boris hasn't got the cojones to enforce stricter rules. It's a criminal misjudgement in every way, including economically.

App orders only, then.

The staff at JDW this lunchtime said they are on standby for closing at a few hours notice something to do with banknotes passing the virus

Avoid pubs!!!

Sadly this is just the beginning, the impact on the economy has not even started, yes travel agents and plane companies would be the first to fall but the rest is going to suffer, this is going to be a total bloodbath from big companies (pensions) to small companies........ only hope is for a miracle cure to calm the market asap .....unfortunately Boris idea of getting as many people sick instead than closing everything would cause unnecessary delays and deaths....

A tad overdone here, share price performing worse than airlines. Probably be £12 by Xmas

[blueball] 16/3/2020 10:52

“Made in China” label

The Chinese Government Is Solely and Uniquely Responsible for the Coronavirus Pandemic

Ok so short medium term it looks like things are going to take a big hit HOWEVER lets look longer term everything I have read predicts a curve where after a big increase in cases they reduce sharply.Unless you think Wetherspoons can not survive that period do people not think be it a year or more away profits will return to similar pre-coronavirus levels making this and indeed many over beat up companies an exceptional long term buy?

[taurusthebear] 16/3/2020 09:36

That's strange, because China had it under control within 2 months of taking action, and it affected 0.01% of the Chinese population.

Even allowing for their dictatorship, how do you account for these "expert" views?

Any chance that it could be because the DM is a scaremongering rag?

Buy shares at your peril, the virus is about to hit big time and profit warnings will follow, It looks like being spring 2021 before the virus is really under control, and even then there may be a comeback later. With such a long way to go it is probably best to wait before buying shares unless you really are a gambler.


Bring out your dead

Coronavirus ‘to last until spring 2021 with almost 8,000,000 hospitalised’

The coronvirus pandemic will remain in the UK until at least next Spring and 80% of Britons ‘are expected’ to be infected with it, according to a leaked Public Health England document.

[taurusthebear] 16/3/2020 09:15

Well, there you have it. Spoons has temporary closure now priced in. But I won't be buying just yet...

"If you’re going to give a link can you do so from a reputable newspaper and not the gutter press."

The Sun is a reputable newspaper (to the majority of Wetherspoons pubgoers)

[essentialinvestor] 15/3/2020 18:51

Will the UK be far behind?.. I don't think so.


If you wanted to take a longer term contrarian view,
the stronger operators will survive and ultimately thrive ?..

Well there you go.

I always thought Leo Varadkar was a complete ....er now I know he is.

If you’re going to give a link can you do so from a reputable newspaper and not the gutter press.

[luderitz] 15/3/2020 17:29

I expect you will be able to contact your local Chinese for one soon.

[essentialinvestor] 15/3/2020 16:33

I could do with two pints of ESB right now from a Fuller's pub.

[the white house] 15/3/2020 16:31

Two pints allows one to be drunk and one left to 'reserve' table while hitting loo...

[rochdae] 15/3/2020 14:55

Ha... nice one Thailand!!

[thailand] 15/3/2020 14:45

The bad news is never ending. Donald Trump has tested negative for the coronavirus.

[johnwise] 14/3/2020 22:21

Is there is more to this virus than we are being told.?
