Lex Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Anyone who can see the lockdown lasting 2+ months longer is deluded. Where the hell would the Govt get the money to pay all the Universal Credit, Furloughed wages etc. Already they must have given out a ton (plus the grants that small businesses will get).Borrow it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't test, then you don't have cases Plus Belarus isn't that well connected a country to other places, relatively speaking Edited April 19, 2020 by Turkmenbashi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My sister in law’s granny had a stroke and went into hospital. She was doing ok but then passed away. They put on the death certificate “possible coronavirus” which will mean it gets included in the daily deaths for that day. Apparently this is common. A lot of people who are dying from coronavirus were going to die anyways but they put it down to coronavirus so people take notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furlough scheme is in place until June already. It'll be lockdown, of sorts, for two months minimum. Spain are extending their lockdown until May 10. That will be about two months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they have to keep furloughing wages? Italy aren't. Well if the lockdown was to continue beyond June, they’d have to pay people in some way. If its wasn’t through the furlough scheme then it would be through Universal Credit. Just because Italy is or isn’t doing something doesn’t mean we’d be the same 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Borrow it. Same place they got the last lot from. Bond issues and QE.I'd like to see this discussion play out a bit more (along with the nurses pics).Every instinct i have says they're has to be long term and very damaging consequences to this. But I'm generally pretty clueless on economics so I'm happy to be persuaded.What are the main reasons that we can't keep borrowing /printing money? And why do you guys (and a couple of others) think that doesn't need to apply? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Scots are voting for the Tories because they think Labour and SNP are worse. There is no other explanation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
