It seems your a ripe field agent indeed...and freelancing for free. Nice one pal 👍🏻

It means to be researched, something that you dont do these days by looking at how much time you spend on chopping avatars.

Probably they realized it wouldnt do anything good but to increase the fear over the crowds.
Its not enough that military its out there on the streets of Spain :(

Still. They must report what's happening.

The military is helping the hospitals, mostly. It's a special unit made for emergencies like this one. You said it like if we had tanks on the streets or something.

Yes, some of them have weapons like this one here guarding the train station here where I live. But I've seen police offices way more armed on the streets because of islamists.

Most people will be entitled to either full pay or SSP for the 7/14 days as its a government recomendation employers can't argue or dispute this. Most people who work and get a top up from benefit in the UK will either get tax credits (so will be uneffected) or get Universal Credit that only takes into consideration money actually earnt offset against benefit entitlement. So less wages = more benefit top up.
If people are self employed they will most likelly be claiming Universal Credit and there is already measures in place to disregard the minimum income floor (set figure of earnings used to calculte your benefit top up wether you earn that figure or not) so only actual earnings will again be offset against your benefit entitlement.

So there really isn't any need to continue working at present if your working (employed or self employed) and you need to self isolate.

If you're dead there will be no more mortgages and bills to pay. It's not easy but it has to be done. We're in complete lockdown and people can still go to work as long as they are following all the safety measures.

And you've got a government that could take care of things like ours has done. We no longer have to pay some taxes, mortgage payments are postponed, utility bills are paid by the governmen if you can't pay, if we temporarily lose our jobs we're getting paid 75% of the salary, etc.

In the US they're planning to give $1000 to every citizen so stay home. Like a UBI but only for a month.

I would personally prefer 1000£ for everybody (except the ones with 100k+ on their accounts of course)

95£ a week that is promised is worthless.

Problem is that for some people the £1000 would go in minutes, druggies, substance abusers etc and they would still expect further help from the next day which we as a taxpayer would have to give. I don't like it but unfortuately thats the kind of society we live in, you will always get people that abuse the system as they know others will still have to cater for their needs when they play the vulnerable card.

The thing is, drug abusers will end up doing whatever they have to for their daily dose. We're starting to see inmates on prison becoming more and more aggressive since they are not allowed to have visits because that was the only way for them to get drugs. That **** can end badly.

If we're going to pay something like a basic income it has to be for everyone just as you have a healthcare system for everybody, even if they abuse alcohol and have an unhealthy lifestyle.

I'd pay a £1000 to ensure a druggies overdose

Unofficial news Prince Philip is dead but there won't be an official confirmation until either thurday or friday there saying he didn't die of corona though. (which if thats the case why wait until then)


Additionally there are talks of a Lockdown in the UK with a curfew in place so that people can still get there shopping. Which I dunno about the rest of you but they have been testing the Air raid alarms in stockport the last few days so wouldn't be suprised if this is true.

Supermarkets are also limiting people to 1 item type per customer e.g 1 pack of pies reguardless of flavor/type. They will also be installing special guard barriers into them to protect the till staff from Corona and limiting the number of customers allowed to enter them at a time.

My advice is have enough shopping in your home to do you for at least 2 weeks if your struggling to find things in the supermarkets, Some farmers sell sacks of potatoes, other veg, and eggs. Private butchers and Specialist shops still have supplies in them as do shops like B&M.



Side note Any Medical staff helping treat the sick/ill get free drinks at mac donalds if they show there ID's.

I'm not sure how shops can enforce the item limit per customer, whats to stop a person buying something then leaving store.. putting it in their car then going straight back in and getting another limited product/item. If people had decency and moralality then it would work but the utter retards that are panic buying and stripping the shelves of whatever they can will definetly look for loopholes such as what I mentioned.

We've been there already. All the supermarkets are now under surveillance by private security and the police. They are limiting the number of people that can go inside so if you want to come back and buy again you will have to wait for the other to buy. They can also fine you because if you already bought what you needed you can't go outside again so...

Anyway, don't be stupid and don't hoard. Supermarkets are not going to run out of food. If you see the shelves empty it's because some stupid ****s bought enough food to fed an entire family for months. Buy enough to avoid having to go out everyday because that's when you risk getting the virus, that's all.
