So that’s landlords for you, not this one couple who rent my house are like me both have underlying conditions and are being paid statutory sick pay. I’ve told them to forget the rent for at least the next 12 weeks.

Fair play to you.

There still needs to be greater protection for renters as some landlords are vermin. At the moment all they are proposing is is to give the renter more time to leave

Hopefully. Wonder if we'll see staff drafted to support London hospitals as they're the ones that have got the biggest issues you think, not that everywhere hasn't. That said, Hull has one case or did last time I looked.

Did anyone see the article in a weekend newspaper that shows that the vast majority of cases are in a band across the globe with a temperature range of 5c to 12c?
Could that offer a glimmer of hope?



And apparently only 6% of cases are in areas which have had temperatures above 18C
Click to expand...
And much of that 6% could be accounted for by infected people recently arriving from colder areas

I remember there was a spate of them- I knew Noel from Earlsdon pretty well, who was as hard as nails but a really lovely guy, someone stabbed him outside Busters in what- 1991 or something over something ridiculously petty. Cov was an evil place in those days.

Absolute brilliant lad. I thought I could pull the birds. But wasn't a touch on him. Would do anything for anyone. Treated everyone with respect. A laugh a minute. So sad.

We were the same age so sure it was the late 80's we lost him. I am 52 next month. Some idiot was waving a blade around all night saying he was going to use it. Put it straight through his heart. Never stood a chance. He was on the door when it happened.

RIP never forgotten.

That money saving bloke was on TV earlier saying it's being worked on but it's much more complex than employed people so takes longer to sort every circumstance

No one has ever said young healthy people don't die so it is wrong just to dwell on these.

the lad had been waving the blade around for weeks. Pulled it on a lad I used to train with at the bulls head but he walked away.
Can't remember the name of the lad who did it now but he was a mate of a mate. Had turned in to a proper menace and the script played out how it was written.

Noel was in the year below me at school, knew him but not very well. A good few of my mates knew him pretty well.

I wonder whether it may catch out a few of the Limited Company sole traders who pay themselves the lowest weekly wage to below the tax threshold and then give themselves the quarterly tax free dividend?

I remember it- used to mess around with him when walking down the alley between Stanley Road & Osbourne Road, he'd be hanging out his window with music on & we'd be offering him out & acting stupid & he'd laugh along. I think it would have been 1990 or 1991.

100%

Although the world is in no position to put up much of a fight many of us will be getting this in the next month I’m expecting 700-1000 deaths a day at this rate.
