Take some deep breaths to begin the day, use your mind and construct a future in your head, think how to achieve that, and just tick the boxes of application to welfare.
Remember you are spending less now also, others are far worse off, and we all are feeling the pressure, more deep breaths and it passes... |

There is that. Though it depends who we get to pay for the economy this time.

Belarussian president this weekend played ice hockey and has taken zero measures against the virus, said: "It's better to die standing on your feet than to live on your knees."

Already has. Sweden and the Netherlands still open.

Keep panicking or you will have the virus zealots on your back.
Reported today that there's been a massive drop in air pollution, probably turnout that Ten of Thousands of related deaths have been avoided because of the lockdown, more saved than from the virus, dont expect anyone to make a fuss about that when virus panic is over. |

Netherlands is third (if you dont count tiny Andorra) to Italy and Spain in terms of deaths per million people.
They have shut schools etc. |

If this shows that tens of thousands of deaths are caused by driving petrol cars in cities then I doubt it will go unnoticed. Maybe we will see the ban on petrol/diesel cars brought forward- currently 2035. I doubt this data will just be forgotten about. |

Yep Holland have locked down to an extent and it is one of the most densely populated contries in the world and most densely populated in the EU. Sweden will do the same if and when needed. Sweden isn't very densely populated and wouldn't be a travel hotspot in winter when it can get to -30. Belarus got 70% of the radiation from Chernobyl and 25% of the country was an exclusion zone which only opened up to tourists last April. A bit silly to compare all countries as if they have the same factors affecting them.

Yep, no doubt the Governments health advisers/ scientist have been taken completely by suprise, never realised that shutting down the economy would improve air quality to such an extent that Thousands of lives could be saved, obviously such drastic action would have been called for earlier if they'd known.
No doubt it won't go "unnoticed" and action demanded, demands that will be inquired into for a few years and then forgotten, anyone offering odds? |

Many firms will take the opportunity to re-evaluate how and where their employees perform their duties.
This could well result in a dramatic increase in working from home and a reduction in the need to travel, either domestically or internationally. There are cases of firms who had embraced the working from home concept only to reverse it much of it. As always, fining the optimum balance is never straight forward. |

Wasn't you one of those who used the "unicorns" line in the Brexit debate? wishful thinking I'd say, but time will tell.
