Restaurant and bar owners say social distancing could wipe out their industry

"If you talk to restaurants across the globe, the language might change, but the math is the same," Pernice told CNN Business. "Restaurants and bars need volume and traffic to make them work."

We need churches to reopen ASAP. How are we going to overcome this virus, without people praying?

Locked down pubs forced to pour 70m pints of beer down the drain

‘Heartbroken’ landlords say even more beer will be destroyed if coronavirus opening restrictions continue through summer

Serology test claimed to be 100% accurate so anyone with antibodies could be given a card and then tested periodically. If they are happy to take their chance on how long their immunity will last they'd be much sought after for working as eg barman. Now that garden centres are reopening there's little reason to stop pubs which have outside areas doing the same. No queuing or standing at the bar but orders taken either by app or bar staff circulating to delver drink and food.

Oh wow!! Those analysts have too much time on their hands. Unlikely pubs will open soon and will not get the volumes they are used to. Only a fool would put a target price at pre-covid levels!!

Furlough scheme will last until OCTOBER at 80 percent of pay: Chancellor Rishi Sunak announces change that will let staff come back part-time so long as employers pick up the bill

[brasso3] 11/5/2020 19:28

They will have to cut it to get people back to work. 80% is too high and it puts no pressure on the employer or employee to go back to work. I know people who have said how surprised how easy it is to live off 80% of their salary when you live in your back garden!

[essentialinvestor] 11/5/2020 19:06

Rumours the furlough scheme may be cut to 60% and extended, in some cases, to September. Announcement expected tomorrow.

Pubs, restaurant, hairdressers reopen

Plans would include the reopening of businesses that were still closed: pubs, restaurants and hotels, hairdressers and beauty salons, churches and leisure facilities like cinemas,.

But there is still a caveat at this stage that some places will not be able to open.

'Some venues which are, by design, crowded and where it may prove difficult to enact distancing may still not be able to re-open safely at this point, or may be able to open safely only in part,' it warns,

'Nevertheless the Government will wish to open as many businesses and public places as the data and information at the time allows.'

It adds that it will watch places around the world that are already emerging from their lockdown and use them as guide as to how premises could open safely.

But it does raise the possibility that some businesses will potentially still have their doors closed heading in to the autumn, raising the spectre of job losses over the summer.

At least open pub gardens ffs, and for food and drink.

[johnwise] 11/5/2020 11:41

Let's face it all we miss is the pub. If the pub opened we would not care about anything else?

[johnwise] 11/5/2020 08:43

The stress of ending lockdown, which I have long argued is what will really destroy much of British business, became more apparent over the weekend. A few simple examples will suffice.

Hairdressers and those in the hospitality sector will not be able to go back to work until July 4 “at the earliest” under the Government’s timetable for easing the coronavirus lockdown.

What did "industry bosses" expect? Only allowing under 35s if they promise to keep away from older people, BAME and those with UHC?

Unfortunately capitalism is based on treating most people like sheep (or sardines).

'Pubs fear disaster after being left out of plans to ease lockdown'

'Pubs face “devastation” after they were excluded from proposals to allow the hospitality industry to reopen in July, fuelling concern that nearly half could be driven out of business by Covid-19.'
