There's also the fact you still need to pay for maintenance, and if you've lost your job, may need the capital.
There's also the fact you still need to pay for maintenance, and if you've lost your job, may need the capital.Not a bad thing but why does everything need a campaign and a last minute u-turn. A lot of unnecessary stress for people who are struggling at the moment and thought the eviction process would start up next week.
The advise for landlords seems to be the same as that for homeowners. Speak to your lender and apply for a mortgage holiday.
Don't think anything was ever put in place to ensure lenders gave holidays, think you just had to follow the normal process and hope for the best. Of course most lenders allow a maximum of three months for a mortgage holiday so there's an obvious issue that doesn't seem to have been addressed.
Across the whole of England positive tests have risen 27% in a week, despite the number of tests dropping. Hospital admission and patients on ventilators doesn't seem to be going up though which I guess is good news. No idea if that is the virus becoming 'weaker', its younger people getting infected who don't seem to be as badly affected or treatment improving.CV6 has potential for a local lockdown
It's younger people being affected, in the main.Across the whole of England positive tests have risen 27% in a week, despite the number of tests dropping.

We're only just over a week away from schools reopening which Whitty suggested would require a trade off with something else closing yet there has been no mention of that despite rising rates.
I’m here looking at the situation in Northampton where I teach wondering if they are going to go into local lockdown. The rate is much higher than Birmingham currently. There seems little in terms of potential planning if they were to do some trade-offs to ensure schools open next month.Across the whole of England positive tests have risen 27% in a week, despite the number of tests dropping.

The argument that numbers are rising due to the increase in testing seems to be being made more.
tbh as people socialise more, it's inevitable cases rise - that surely can't be argued!Yes, I've been hearing this a bit recently. I suppose it depends on the timescales being used. Testing has noticeably risen compared to say June and July but the amount of testing has been very similar throughout all of August so I'm not sure that's actually correct. We are seeing a slight increase in cases.
Come on .tbh as people socialise more, it's inevitable cases rise - that surely can't be argued!
It's whether they rise too much or not. atm, it's looking ominous. it had better hold off for a while yet though, don't want to be cancelling my sodding wedding *again*!

That tallies, though, with the things being loosened up being the things people younger are able to cope with more (pubs etc.). now that's fine... but what we don't want, is them then spreading it elsewhere and having collatoral damage.suggesting the virus might be becoming less lethal and we can afford to loosen up a bit.
Still wary on how it might be in the colder months when flu etc goes around and how the two together could cause problems for people, or indeed how flu may be with those that have had and recovered from Covid, esp those that had it quite severely and may have suffered lung damage from it. Also even with a weakened strain the effect it may have on older and more vulnerable people during a time of the year when the immune system is more compromised.
Germany have extended their furlough scheme for 24 months. German finance minister, Olaf Scholz said “The corona crisis won’t suddenly disappear in the next few weeks. Businesses and employees need a clear signal from the government: we’ve got your back for the long haul in this crisis, so that no one is being let go without need.”
Using government figures to extend the scheme to 24 months here would cost a total of £336bn, although you would expect the monthly cost to decrease over time as more people go back to work. We spent £500bn bailing out the banks without batting an eyelid.Germany to extend coronavirus furlough to 24 months

Haven't had a flu vaccination invite yet.I agree it's looking a bit ominous but I am pleased that deaths/hospital admissions are staying low, suggesting the virus might be becoming less lethal and we can afford to loosen up a bit.

It's the same everywhere. I'm private sector and have had one pay increase since 2008! Equates to a 22% pay cut over that time.But we all pay for it, either in terms of reduced services, higher taxes, lower wages. I can't expect people's hearts to bleed for me but in the civil service we've taken a real terms 20% pay and pension cut over the last 8 years.

2/3 weeks into the new school term we will learn a lot about how kids contribute to the virus spreading. I am crossing everything to hope it’s not an issue but I am ominous about it.That tallies, though, with the things being loosened up being the things people younger are able to cope with more (pubs etc.). now that's fine... but what we don't want, is them then spreading it elsewhere and having collatoral damage.
The test will be come late September onwards, really. If that's still looking good, happy days. if not, we need to row back, and fast.
Think it might take a bit longer to kick in tbh but yeah, big tests ahead!2/3 weeks into the new school term we will learn a lot about how kids contribute to the virus spreading. I am crossing everything to hope it’s not an issue but I am ominous about it.

No idea to be honest - we’ve not been told anything about this from either school or union. There was talk a couple of weeks ago about weekly/fortnightly tests but nothing has come through further on that.Will teachers etc being getting tested much?
Florida in the USA was saying this mid summer, cases were up with no hospitalisation and few deaths, it was only cos the average age of those infected was much lower. Eventually it started to spread to the more vulnerable and the hospitals filled up and deaths went up.'Coronavirus getting less angry' says Mids doctor

Adding more fuel to the fire. It's not what it was
Haven't got kids but if I did having seen how many issues there have been in a week of schools being open in Scotland and listened to how carefully Harries was choosing her words this morning talking about "the risk to the child themselves" there's no way I'd be sending them back. Not to mention the huge difference between the preparations to make schools safe in other countries compared to here where virtually nothing seems to have been done.Coronavirus: Staff and pupils test positive in Dundee school outbreak

Happy it has to happen but we need a clear plan that everyone follows when infections start to happenBut what about childrens education? They've been off for 6 months. Im not slating your opinion btw i just feel we have to have schools back. Any more time away from education and friends and we will have a generation of mental illness through the roof
Personally I don't have any confidence that the government has properly examined the evidence and carefully considered the balance between education requirements, mental health and the risk of spreading the virus. Maybe someone who works in education will post and tell us of measures being put in place to ensure safety and a plan to deal with any outbreaks.But what about childrens education?

My personal view is that either everyone should go back to school without bubbles or distancing, or it should all continue remotely. The halfway house measures are just unworkable
