Today Odeon said the the money processing company for direct debits etc, close the telephone lines because there where so many refunds and cancellations of things there wasn't enough staff to take a single call.
Doent that say everything, they amount of money been paid back to customers was enough to close the telephones lines down.

its going to come in the numbers at the end of the day and the virus will now double double every 6 days.

Just to show you have quick this is
take a penney and give it to someone.
on day two double it and give them it, on day three double that again and give them it on day four double that once again and so on.
how many days do you think it takes before you have giving them inexcess of 1 million pounds.

The answer is on the 28th day you will be giving them 1 mission 3 hundred and forty two thousand one hundred and seventy seven pounds and 28 pence.
you started with a penny, how many pennies are in that 134 million 217 thousand and 728 pennies and we are the pennies this virus starts with.

its going to be like a nuclear bomb

delphiman, I don't hold and i don't see your logic. But here's some fact, you will die at anytime.

Nice little profit taking bounce happening to bay, They like to raise the price just so they can sell more from a higher ground.

Its good not holding at the minute as you can look on this with no bias and just see whats happening rather then what you want to happen, I've always felt you dont see straight when you hold a position.

[delphiman] 17/3/2020 16:05

Isnt the government saying we dont want you to get tested, so how do you get confirmed.

[delphiman] 17/3/2020 16:04

The Government says

Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms
Stay at home if you have either:
a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
a new, continuous cough – this means you've started coughing repeatedly
Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.
You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home.
Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you're staying at home.

"As we age, our skin becomes less effective at making vitamin D in the presence of sunlight"

We live in England, I'm not sure our bodies ever see sunlight lol

we permanently working from home now until further notice.

Odeon cinema has shut its doors, restaurants are offering take aways and shutting there doors.

Deliveroo is delivering your food and then standing a distance away for you to collect it.

And then there are still those idiots who I can hear saying Im still going there try and stop me,
they might be safe and not die but they could kill someone else, isnt it crazy how people just wont consider others, the shops are nearly empty, I felt like saying to the person just look around you, take it in, stop been stupid but you just keep quiet dont you and get on with what your doing. football is been postponed, next the olympics, horse racing is going, next dog racing. they will want to stay in soon because there will be nothing to go to.

Today the British Medical Journal advises against using ibuprofen if one has Covid-19.

Then again with those spikes I just sold Silver and FTSE longs for a decent profit. Still too early for a big recovery imho

[dope007] 17/3/2020 12:17

Added a little more silver. Looks like some forced selling to raise cash going on

[smurfy2001] 17/3/2020 09:54

I built a virtual portfolio of quality and varied FTSE stocks (mainly FTSE100) on the 11th and it's almost down 21%.

Incredible.

I would not be surprised if the virtual portfolio is down 50% in the coming months.

George is wearing a different hat these days.


And, never let an opportunity go to waste.

[leedskier] 17/3/2020 09:13

Geo Osborne was calling for it yesterday. Kind of ironic given he introduced austerity.

[leedskier] 17/3/2020 09:12

Bail out companies.

[maxk] 17/3/2020 09:09

£100bn for what, banker support?

[leedskier] 17/3/2020 08:58

Will Boris announce a £100bn war chest today?

[leedskier] 17/3/2020 08:04

I posted about Vitamin D.

Today's daily mail ...


MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH VITAMIN D

As we age, our skin becomes less effective at making vitamin D in the presence of sunlight. People who rarely go out in the sun need extra vitamin D, which is vital for healthy bones and teeth.

Current guidelines advise those over the age of 65 to take 10 micrograms of Vitamin D each day as a supplement. Vitamin D is found in many different foods, but often in low quantities which aren't sufficient for older people. You can buy vitamin D supplements from most pharmacies,' says Alison.

This is the paragraph in the UK Govt's Scientific Advisory Group (aka SAGE) report yesterday which spooked the Govt into action.

NB 250K is the best case scenario.
