what connection has corona got with banks going kapoot?
There is no doubt 1000's pf businesses will go and with it lots hundreds of 1000's of jobs. My own company which employs over 5000 staff are already looking to ditch 800 to cover the inevitable massive drop in revenue.
The link to the banks is that money lent to businesses and individuals becomes toxic. Massive amounts of serviceable debt will wipe billions from the banks, and we are back into a 2008 scenario.
Glasgow, you are lucky, I have had £80k wiped off my pension in 4 weeks. Which means an immediate impact for me, that I need to work a further 2 years before I can retire... that assuming I still have a job.
